Position: Freelance Marketing Web Developer (WordPress)

⚠️ Candidate Notice: We are aware of individuals impersonating Interplay Learning recruiters using fraudulent email addresses. All communication regarding this opportunity will come exclusively from an @interplaylearning.com email address. We will never ask for payment or sensitive financial information as part of our hiring process. If you receive messages from any other email domain claiming to represent Interplay Learning, please disregard them and contact us to verify their authenticity.

This is a part-time contract role (approximately 10-15 hours per week) designed for someone looking for ongoing, flexible work rather than a full-time position. Following application review and a short interview process, the position would start immediately.

As our Marketing Web Developer, you’ll be the go-to person when a page needs to launch before a campaign, a form breaks ahead of a webinar, or our website needs a refresh. You’ll work closely with our Demand Generation and Marketing teams while operating independently—we’re looking for someone who can take a rough idea or request and run with it (assets and design guidelines will be provided).

This is a contract-based 1099 Independent Contractor position.  Paid at an hourly rate as agreed upon in the Independent Contractor Agreement – range:  $30-35 per hour depending on directly related experience and credentials. 

Contractors are responsible for:

• their own taxes, insurance and expenses. 
• their own work tools, equipment and basic business software necessary to complete the expected goals and outcomes.

The contractor will submit regular electronic invoices at the frequency and rate as stipulated in the contract.

Location Requirement: Physically based and operating within the United States.

Contract Eligibility & Requirements:

• Compliance & Security: To fulfill our data privacy protocols and client security regulations, the contractor must be physically located within the United States.
• Tax Status: This is a 1099-NEC engagement. The contractor must be a registered U.S. business entity or a U.S. taxpayer capable of providing an IRS Form W-9.
• Operational Alignment: Deliverables and collaborative sessions must align with standard U.S. business hours (e.g., Eastern or Pacific Time Zone)."

What you'll do:

Site Build & Maintenance

• Build and launch new pages in WordPress using Elementor, matching existing design patterns and brand standards
• Maintain site health — plugin and theme updates, performance checks, backups, and general upkeep
• Work in staging environments and follow our rollback process before anything ships to production
• Troubleshoot and resolve bugs, broken layouts, and functionality issues as they come up

UI/UX & Conversion Support

• Identify and fix UI/UX issues that get in the way of traffic acquisition or conversion
• Partner with marketing to implement design and layout changes aimed at improving on-page conversion rates
• Bring a working knowledge of responsive design and cross-browser/device testing to every build

Marketing Integrations

• Support HubSpot-connected forms and landing pages, ensuring submissions, tracking, and routing work as intended
• Troubleshoot integration issues between WordPress and HubSpot as they surface
• Help stand up or maintain campaign landing pages, including occasional work in Unbounce

Who You Are:

• You have a strong eye for UI/UX and know how to translate that into clean, intuitive, user-friendly pages.
• You’re comfortable working independently, managing your own time, and proactively communicating as a remote contractor.
• You’re responsive, reliable, and able to take a rough request and run with it.
• You’re looking for an ongoing, part-time engagement and can be available during business hours when needed.

Requirements:

• Hands-on, proven experience building and maintaining websites in WordPress.
• Strong Elementor experience—this is a must-have.
• Working knowledge of HTML/CSS, with the ability to hand-code fixes when Elementor can't handle them.
• Familiarity with HubSpot, particularly forms, landing pages, and how they connect to a broader marketing stack.
• Bonus: Experience with Unbounce.
