WordPress/Elementor Web Design Team Lead

About Us

We are a forward-thinking marketing and advertising agency looking for a multitalented Team Lead – WordPress/Elementor Web Designer & SEO Specialist to guide our dynamic team. Our clients range from local businesses to international brands, and we pride ourselves on building high-performing websites that combine aesthetic appeal with solid technical foundations.

You’ll be provided with numerous AI tools to speed up and refine this process, so you must be familiar with ChatGPT, prompt engineering, and quick adoption of new AI platforms.
