Web Developer (WordPress)
About us
Wyoming is a digital consultancy that helps clients design, develop, and optimise digital technologies. It serves global enterprise clients within the life science, finance, and tech sectors. Our engineering and UX teams have built a reputation amongst our clients for adopting a thoughtful, creative, and collaborative approach to solving problems and delivering high quality solutions.
About the role
We’re looking for a mid-level to senior developer to join our team to lead on our WordPress projects and support the development team across a number of projects.
We’re looking for someone who can help clients take their objectives and goals and build them into an achievable specification. You’ll be able to assess their needs and suggest the best options for successful delivery.
You will also be comfortable working with design teams and have experience of delivering sites that accurately follow provided creative assets (i.e., wireframes, hi-fidelity designs, pattern libraries, brand guidelines).
You’ll be able to deliver sites that are SEO-optimised, user-friendly, performant and secure. You’ll understand CRM platforms and integrations with WordPress. You’ll be comfortable working with demand generation colleagues to ensure that Google Analytics data can be successfully tracked, and you’ll be familiar with SEM campaign marketing concepts (AdWords campaigns, etc.).
You’ll have experience in WordPress site migrations and will be familiar with the steps required to take sites to live, including familiarity with hosting and DNS configuration.
Beyond WordPress, we’re looking for someone who will be flexible and pragmatic in their approach to development work and who is willing to pick up new technologies and frameworks to contribute to on-going projects.
The role will be client facing, and candidates must be able to communicate effectively, professionally, and engage with clients to deliver projects that exceed expectations.
Any experience integrating WordPress and e-commerce would also be an advantage.

- Meeting with clients to discuss website design and functionality.
- Producing costed specifications.

While we envisage this as a full-time, permanent, hybrid role; we would consider other options for the right candidate.
What we offer:
A highly competitive package, together with a flat, friendly, and progressive environment where we try to remember it's work, it’s not a lifestyle! So, whilst we do have intense periods of work from time to time, we're careful to ensure that we don't forget the importance of work / life balance.
A solid opportunity for role development and promotion with potential to work overseas travelling either occasionally or the chance to re-locate for longer periods of time.
A role with a fast-growing company working with some of the largest global Life Science organisations.
