WordPress Web Implementation Contractor (Temporary)
Type: Contractor/1099- Temporary Pay: $45/hr Travel: None (Virtual)
About Us RSI’s governance framework is designed to ensure that assessment activities remain free from commercial influence, maintain public trust, and uphold the integrity expected within accredited and regulated cybersecurity assessment environments.
About the Role: This role supports the marketing team by executing website, SEO, and CMS-related tasks according to established processes and documentation. The primary focus is maintaining, updating, and optimizing WordPress content while ensuring consistency, accuracy, and adherence to brand and technical standards.
Main points of job: ● Build and update WordPress pages using approved templates and documented requirements. ● Execute SEO implementation tasks, including metadata updates, structured data, and content optimization. ● Maintain website content, plugins, and performance tracking while supporting ongoing website improvements. ● Follow documented processes, QA standards, and change management procedures. ● Document completed work and communicate issues, discrepancies, or questions to the appropriate team lead.
Main points of job not included: ● This is not a design or creative decision-making role. ● This role does not create new layouts, branding, user experiences, or website strategies. ● This role executes approved requirements and follows documented processes to support the marketing team efficiently and consistently. Key Responsibilities
WordPress Page Builds Duplicate existing draft pages and build new sections following established templates ● Apply design tokens (colors, fonts, spacing) as documented — no improvising ● Place and configure Beaver Builder rows, columns, and HTML modules per spec ● Scope header/footer Themer location rules to new draft pages as directed ● QA builds against the spec before handing back for review
SEO Execution ● Apply on-page SEO to landing pages: title tags, meta descriptions, canonical tags, Open Graph fields, H1/H2 structure ● Input and validate JSON-LD structured data markup from provided templates ● Cross-check pages against an SEO checklist and log findings in a standardized format ● Support internal link updates as redirect work continues
CMS Maintenance Tasks ● Plugin audits — cross-reference active plugins against the documented inventory, flag discrepancies ● Content entry and formatting — paste, format, and publish content following brand guidelines ● Run PageSpeed Insights checks on assigned pages and log results in the weekly tracking format ● Make documented CSS or copy edits in Customizer or WPCode as directed — no undirected changes to production
Documentation Support ● Log completed work in the existing changelog format (date, change type, detail, reason) ● Note anything that doesn't match the docs and surface it to the UX lead — do not silently work around it ● Keep a running task log so handoffs are clean
Competence Requirements Candidates must demonstrate: ● Solid hands-on WordPress experience — you've built and edited pages, managed plugins, worked in Customizer ● Comfortable with HTML and CSS — you can write and edit both without a visual editor doing it for you ● Basic SEO knowledge — you know what a title tag, meta description, canonical URL, and H1 are and how to set them correctly in WordPress ● Able to follow written documentation and build from it without verbal walkthrough ● Reliable communicator — you ask when something is unclear, you don't guess and push to production
Preferred: Beaver Builder experience ● Familiarity with HubSpot embedded forms and how they interact with WordPress ● GA4 basics — enough to pull a traffic report or verify a tracking tag is firing ● JSON-LD or structured data experience ● Screaming Frog or any crawl tool
Software Requirements ● WordPress through Elementor or Gutenberg ● HTML/CSS ● JSON-LD
