WordPress Web Developer (Elementor) - Freelance, Remote
About the Client
Our client is a senior-led consulting firm specializing in enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, helping mid-market finance and operations teams navigate growth, complexity, and ongoing system stewardship. They offer a mix of subscription-based support and outcome-based project delivery, working with finance teams that run multi-entity operations, complex billing models, and critical system integrations. The company has an established track record with recognizable mid-market and enterprise clients, and prides itself on senior-level expertise, clear documentation, and responsive service.
Why does this role exist?
This role exists because the client's internal team is currently stretched thin trying to maintain and update their WordPress/Elementor website themselves — leading to ad-hoc updates that take too long or don't get done, and real risk of breaking existing pages when non-specialists attempt changes. They need a dedicated, reliable specialist to own website updates and enhancements so the internal team no longer has to context-switch or fight with Elementor. This hire will become the go-to person for new sections, landing pages, and content publishing, working within the existing site to improve and extend it — not rebuild it.
