JOB OVERVIEW

The role
Around Finance is a modern Irish accountancy firm and we're scaling. We're building an in-house marketing function and need a senior WordPress operator to own our website as a marketing asset.

This starts as on-call work — but the right person grows into a permanent fixture as we expand over the next 12–18 months. We want someone who'll learn our business, get faster and better with us, and become someone we trust without question.
You'd work directly with Richie (founder/CEO).

How it works
I send a Loom or written brief. You quote hours and turnaround. You complete the work and invoice. Sometimes that's 1 hour, sometimes 15, sometimes nothing for a month.
This works if you already have 2–3 anchor clients and want flexible top-up work. It doesn't work if you're looking for guaranteed weekly hours from day one.
The remit

Own the website. In practice that means:

WordPress page builds, edits, and updates
New landing pages from templates or from briefs
Theme refinements as the brand evolves
Conversion improvements — CTAs, forms, page structure, lead capture
On-page SEO — Yoast, schema, internal linking, image optimisation, URL structure, redirects
Technical hygiene — page speed, mobile, plugin management, security
Tracking — GA4, GTM, conversion events, Search Console
Monthly SEMrush research — competitor gaps, ranking opportunities, search intent shifts. One-page Notion summary, top 3–5 opportunities flagged.

If something needs a specialist developer or designer, flag it and we'll bring one in. The more you can own end-to-end, the better.
What we're looking for

3+ years WordPress experience
Previous experience with US, AUS, or UK professional services or B2B agency clients — strong preference, not optional
Strong on-page SEO — Yoast, schema, internal linking, image optimisation
Comfortable running SEMrush and presenting findings clearly
Familiarity with Search Console and GA4
Background in accounting, legal, financial services, or premium professional services is a real advantage
Excellent written English
Reliable turnaround on agreed timelines (24–72 hours)
Comfortable with on-call rather than guaranteed hours

Show us examples of your work.
A portfolio, links to live sites, or a Loom walkthrough. We don't need access to private back-ends.
What success looks like

Briefs completed accurately first time
Turnaround matches what you quoted
You flag issues before I notice them
You respond within 24 hours, even if it's "I can't take this one"
The website gets measurably better — speed, conversion, rankings, hygiene

Not a fit

Looking for full-time or guaranteed hours
Only worked for local PH clients or entry-level accounts
Need a lot of direction to get started
Want a minimum monthly retainer to commit

First task
First engagement is a small paid task (1–2 hours) so we can see how you work. If it goes well, we continue. If not, we part on good terms and you've been paid for your time.
How to apply

Start your message with the word TEMPLATES — applications without it won't be read.

Then tell us:

Who you've worked for, especially US, AUS, or UK professional services or agency clients
Examples of your WordPress work
Your on-page SEO and SEMrush experience
Your hourly rate in USD
Your current client load and capacity for ad-hoc work
How you'd handle a month with zero work from us
