WP Buffs is the very best technical support partner for any individual, business or organization with a WordPress website. Building strong and long-lasting relationships with our customers is our highest priority. We're looking to add a team member who can make the priorities of our customers their own. Your ultimate goals are happy customers and magnificent WordPress websites.Right now, we're doing $444K in ARR. By the end of next year, we will be a $1M company and it will be you who leads the charge. Boom! Manage on-page and off-page SEO and continually work to improve organic search engine performance, traffic, click-through rate, etc. It’s our primary marketing channel so this will be your baby. Completely manage our content development process and editorial calendar. This means attracting traffic to our website that's qualified for our care plans or partnership program (including blog posts, eBooks, white papers, webinars, reports, infographics, etc). We need to publish more must-have material! Work with our strong connections in the WordPress space to produce relevant content that meets the needs of our audience. And bring your own network in the WP space to work with us while you’re at it. At WP Buffs, community and our team is everything, so buy-in here is essential. Develop and execute on a marketing strategy to push WP Buffs into video marketing (webinars, how-to videos, etc) in your first 3-6 months. Video is awesome but we haven’t been able to dedicate the time to do it really well, but that’s where you come in. Increase our lead funnels through converting traffic via calls-to-action, lead generation content, landing pages, etc. This is pretty much figuring out what kind of messaging and content resonates with our audience. Continually optimize our marketing automation efforts and lead nurturing systems through content, social channels and especially email. We want to personalize messaging and content for every single person in our audience, but do it in an automated and scalable way. Collaborate heavily with sales team to get to know how our inbound marketing activity results in new customers, then use this information to continually improve our marketing messaging, conversion, etc. This is the kind of conversation that will help you make even stronger connections with our audience faster. Experiment, research, do competitor analysis and help WP Buffs push into additional marketing channels where we can excel. Executing on our already-successful marketing is part of this position, but so is being entrepreneurial and figuring out what will take us to the next level.

They're completely public so that we're accountable for living up to them and our customers can hold us to these standards.OUR TEAM FOUNDATIONS Create an environment of trust: It’s hard to be vulnerable and unless we create an environment of trust, we won’t take risks. Asking for help and admitting mistakes resolves problems much more quickly. Have healthy conflict: It’s important that everyone feel safe to disagree. It hurts the company and the mission to never push each other to make better decisions. Commit to decisions: Once a decision has been made, the team commits to support it fully. Accountability to decisions: We are accountable to decisions, deadlines and commitments. Our decisions affect other people (team, customers, etc) and we are each responsible for owning what we commit to. Focus on results: We are measured by our output, not our input. The process matters much less than the product of that process. Results are our measure of success.
