WordPress Website Manager

This job is for you if...

You are the person people trust when a client website needs to be fixed, improved, launched, cleaned up, sped up, or made easier to use.

You understand WordPress in the real world. You know how pages are structured, how Elementor works, why plugins create problems, what can break during a site transfer, how DNS and SSL fit into the picture, and why “just change this image” sometimes needs more care than people expect.

You do not need to be a traditional software engineer. This is not a pure coding role. But you do need to understand websites well enough to make smart decisions, use AI-assisted tools responsibly, QA the work, and know whether something is actually good.

Most of our client websites are for local service businesses: home services, professional services, medical, legal, and similar companies where the website needs to build trust, explain services clearly, and turn visitors into calls, forms, and booked appointments.

You also need to be comfortable talking to clients. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit quietly in the background and never present, explain, or collect feedback. You will meet with clients, listen carefully, document what they want, explain what is possible, and follow through until the work is done.

What this role actually is

You will manage, maintain, improve, and help build WordPress websites for Motivent Marketing Inc. clients.

Most of the websites we actively manage are built in WordPress, and about 90% use Elementor or similar visual page builders. You will make website updates, build new pages, troubleshoot issues, support new website builds, improve performance, coordinate launches, and manage the revision cycle with clients.

We are also moving toward faster, cleaner custom WordPress themes using AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, and similar platforms. You do not need to be the person hand-coding every template from scratch, but you do need to understand how websites work, how to guide AI-assisted output, and how to tell the difference between something that merely exists and something that is ready for a real client.

Roughly, your time will look like this:

30% client meetings, website feedback calls, presentations, and follow-up 10-15% internal meetings and coordination 55-60% website implementation, QA, maintenance, documentation, and coordination with developers

What you’ll work on

You’ll make everyday WordPress updates: text changes, image swaps, layout edits, new sections, new pages, form updates, plugin updates, backups, restores, redirects, tracking scripts, and troubleshooting.

You’ll work heavily in Elementor and other WordPress page builders while also supporting our move toward cleaner custom-theme builds.

You’ll help with website launches, transfers, domain and DNS issues, SSL setup, hosting coordination, form testing, email-related website issues, analytics/tracking setup, and the practical details that make websites actually work.

You’ll improve website performance by understanding the levers that matter: hosting, plugins, themes, caching, image optimization, scripts, fonts, Core Web Vitals, page structure, and unnecessary bloat.

You’ll meet with clients during website projects, gather feedback, document it clearly, make changes yourself when appropriate, coordinate with internal or external developers when needed, and keep the revision process moving.

You’ll review AI-assisted website work with a critical eye. The goal is not to ship whatever AI produces. The goal is to use AI to move faster while still applying good judgment, UX sense, technical understanding, and quality control.

What makes someone good at this

You understand WordPress and Elementor well enough to work confidently without needing every step explained.

You understand website fundamentals: DNS, domains, hosting, SSL, email, backups, redirects, forms, plugins, tracking, and site transfers.

You have good UX and UI judgment. You know a good website is not just one that technically works. It needs to feel trustworthy, current, clear, easy to navigate, and appropriate for the type of local service business it represents.

You are not trying to make every website look like a 2016 conversion-rate experiment with giant buttons, cluttered sections, popups everywhere, and aggressive sales language. You understand trust-oriented website design that works now.

You communicate well with clients. You can listen without getting defensive, ask good follow-up questions, explain tradeoffs, and make sure client feedback turns into finished work.

You are comfortable using AI tools, but you do not blindly trust them. You know AI can help create pages, troubleshoot code, generate layout ideas, summarize feedback, and speed up production, but you also know the work needs human review.

You follow through. Website projects fall apart when feedback gets lost, details are missed, or someone assumes another person handled it. That cannot be you.

You should probably have

3+ years working with WordPress websites

Strong Elementor experience

Experience maintaining or building client websites in an agency, freelance, or multi-site environment

Comfort with DNS, hosting, domains, SSL, backups, forms, redirects, and website transfers

Basic familiarity with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, even if you are not a traditional developer

Experience improving WordPress page speed and troubleshooting performance issues

Strong eye for UX, UI, layout, mobile responsiveness, and modern website quality

Experience working directly with clients on website feedback and revisions

Comfort using AI tools like Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, or similar platforms to support website work

This is not a good fit if...

You only want to design mockups and never implement them.

You only want to code and never talk to clients.

You are uncomfortable inside WordPress or Elementor.

You need someone else to manage every detail of client feedback for you.

You think AI-generated website work is automatically ready to publish.

You do not care whether a website feels trustworthy, clear, and useful to the person visiting it.

What your first few months look like

In your first 30 days, you’ll learn our website systems, client base, QA standards, hosting setups, common WordPress environments, and current AI-assisted workflows.

By 60 days, you’ll be handling routine client website updates, participating in client feedback calls, helping with page builds, and coordinating smaller implementation tasks.

By 90 days, you should be owning website work across a set of clients: managing requests, presenting updates, making changes, coordinating with developers, catching issues before clients do, and helping us improve how we build and maintain websites.
