Senior WordPress Engineer / Web Lead
£50k to £60k | Manchester | Hybrid
Picture yourself walking into work knowing you own the entire web function.
No endless agency tickets. No layers of approval. No being one developer in a huge digital team.
You’re the technical owner.
You’ll take responsibility for a portfolio of high-traffic websites, working closely with marketing and engineering to decide what gets built, how it gets built and where the websites go next.
Across the portfolio, the websites attract around 100,000 visitors every month and play a major role in generating new business.
This is a newly created role, so you’ll have plenty of freedom to put your own stamp on things.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What your day-to-day looks like:
- Owning and developing multiple WordPress websites
- Working with PHP, MySQL, CSS, and WordPress
- Managing plugins, integrations, and APIs
- Working closely with marketing to turn ideas into website improvements
- Becoming the go-to technical person for everything web
- Working with the wider engineering team when integrations get more involved
- Having the opportunity to shape and grow the wider web function
You’ll need:
- Strong WordPress development experience
- PHP and MySQL
- WordPress plugin and API integration experience
- The confidence to work independently and take ownership
- React experience would be a nice bonus
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.

This suits a Senior WordPress Developer who wants to stop being "the developer" and become the person who owns web.
If you’re coming from an agency, freelancing, or another senior WordPress position and want more ownership, autonomy, and visibility, this is worth a conversation.
