Architecture & infrastructure

• Manage the site architecture, content workflows, and integration points between Sanity and front-end systems.
• Ensure the website remains secure, stable, and compliant with privacy and accessibility standards.
• Monitor uptime, analytics, and performance, applying updates and optimisations as needed.
• Implement and manage SEO, GEO (GenAI Engine Optimization), and structured data best practices.

Collaboration & support

• Work closely with the marketing team to implement new pages and site features.
• Collaborate on designs to ensure fidelity to brand guidelines and design intent without sacrificing performance or maintainability.
• Collaborate with the Social Media lead to ensure new page/content promotion and coordinate on metrics
• Support the marketing team with analytics dashboards, tag management, and A/B testing implementations.

Innovation

• Research and implement emerging web technologies, including AI-driven content enhancements, GEO (GenAI search engine optimization), chatbots, and personalisation features.

What we are looking for in this person

• Proven experience developing and maintaining public-facing websites with headless CMS, including schema configuration and front-end integration.
• Strong proficiency with modern front-end technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/TypeScript, React or Next.js).
• Experience with build tools, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Understanding of web security, performance optimisation, SEO, and accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA).
• Familiarity with content modeling, API integrations, and headless CMS workflows.
• Experience managing component libraries or design systems in a development context.
• Comfortable working in remote, cross-functional teams and communicating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong analytical mindset, able to use data to inform optimisations and decisions.
• Self-starter with the ability to manage and prioritise tasks independently.
• Excellent communication skills, able to articulate design rationale and technical tradeoffs to different audiences, including business leaders.
• Strong problem-solving mindset, with a track record of continuous improvement and innovation in web design and development.
• A high bar for quality, matched with the pragmatism and agility to deliver in fast-moving environments

Nice to have: 

• Experience with Sanity CMS
• Strong design sensibility, with knowledge of interaction patterns, visual design principles, and usability.
• Expertise in UX and visual design, with the ability to translate brand identity into clear, engaging digital experiences. This includes fluency with design tools such as Figma or similar.
