About Us

 Business View Magazine is a leading digital B2B publication with over 50,000 live content pages. We serve executives and decision-makers across North America with high-quality industry insights and company features. As we evolve our digital presence and user experience, we are seeking a senior-level web developer who can do more than just build websites—they can strategically guide the future of our web platform.

The Opportunity

 We’re looking for a Senior Web Developer & Site Strategy Lead who brings a deep understanding of WordPress, large-scale website architecture, and modern web technologies.

You’ll take the lead in evaluating our current site structure (50,000+ pages), and help determine whether WordPress remains the best fit—or propose and implement a smarter, more scalable alternative.

You’ll work closely with our leadership team to modernize our digital presence and ensure we’re set up for long-term growth, cost-efficiency, and performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Platform Strategy & Audit
  • Conduct a full technical audit of our existing WordPress infrastructure.
  • Evaluate scalability, performance, and maintainability.
  • Provide alternative platform recommendations if a more suitable CMS or headless approach is warranted.
  • Project Management & Execution
  • Create a phased, cost-conscious roadmap for redesign, replatforming, or restructuring.
  • Coordinate development tasks across front-end, back-end, and infrastructure as needed.
  • Implement performance optimization strategies (page speed, caching, indexing strategy, etc.).
  • Migration & Architecture
  • Manage all aspects of site migration, including redirects, page consolidation, and applying SEO-preserving best practices (provided by search consultant)
  • Ensure clean content architecture for a 50,000+ page site, with scalability and CMS efficiency in mind.
  • Collaborate with SEO, content, and analytics teams to align architecture with business goals.
  • Web Development
  • Lead custom theme and plugin development, or manage 3rd party vendors/developers as needed.
  • Apply clean, modular code practices for longevity and ease of maintenance.
  • Strategic Collaboration
  • Advise leadership on emerging technologies and best practices.
  • Translate business needs into technical solutions that enhance user experience and editorial efficiency.

 

Qualifications.

  • Minimum 5 years of web development experience, with a portfolio showcasing complex or large-scale sites.
  • Deep expertise in WordPress development (custom themes/plugins, REST API).
  • Experience managing or migrating enterprise-scale websites (10,000+ pages).
  • Proven track record of leading digital transformation or CMS migration projects.
  • Strong knowledge of web performance optimization, SEO best practices, and information architecture.
  • Ability to communicate technical topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfortable working independently and proactively in a remote setting.
