3-6 months contract

Hybrid

Outside IR35

We are sourcing a senior WordPress consultant on behalf of a client whose recent WordPress build has not landed as expected. The theme is not performing as designed, and the application is not meeting user requirements. This is not a Legacy rescue - it is a new build that has gone wrong and needs expert eyes to diagnose what happened and define a clear path forward.

The initial engagement is consultative: audit, diagnose, and produce a prioritised roadmap. Depending on findings, there is a strong likelihood of the role evolving into a hands-on technical lead to oversee or deliver the remediation work.

Technical Skills

• Deep WordPress expertise - themes, custom post types, plugins, REST API
• Ability to audit an unfamiliar codebase quickly and accurately
• Strong understanding of WordPress performance, security, and hosting
• Experience identifying where a build has diverged from requirements
• Comfortable working across both custom and page-builder-based builds

Consulting & Soft Skills

• Proven ability to communicate clearly with non-technical clients and stakeholders
• Comfortable presenting findings and making recommendations under scrutiny
• Experience scoping and estimating remediation work from an audit
• Able to deliver honest assessments, including telling a client hard truths
• Self-directed and organised; able to manage your own workload and time
