Job description
We’re looking for a fast-moving, customer-focused web builder to join our DIFM (Do-It-For-Me) team. As a DIFM Solutions Architect, your primary responsibility will be to build beautiful, effective websites at scale—delivering an average of four high-quality, five-page websites per day.
This role is perfect for someone who combines strong visual design instincts with efficiency, technical fluency, and a customer-first mindset. You’ll work closely with multiple teams and directly impact customer satisfaction, retention, and revenue.
On a typical day as a DIFM Solutions Architect, you will:
- Build and deliver an average of four high-quality, five-page websites per day, completing each within four business days of content submission. All sites are built using the native WordPress block editor—no third-party themes or plugins.
- Ensure every site is polished, functional, and aligned with customer goals—handling light revisions and minor troubleshooting to maximize customer satisfaction.
- Support pre-sales engagement by participating in internal Slack channels, helping address customer questions, and recommending the right solutions.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with sales teams, developers, and other stakeholders across divisions to ensure a smooth customer journey and surface product insights.
- Help scale the service by reusing design components, sharing best practices, and suggesting workflow improvements.
- Stay current with WordPress.com features and broader industry design trends to raise the quality bar and bring fresh ideas to the team.
- Contribute to internal collaboration and knowledge-sharing by presenting at team meetings, helping with onboarding materials, and participating in broader org initiatives as needed.
- Collaborate on evolving service offerings by piloting new initiatives and giving feedback that shapes future workflows and customer experiences.
What we’re looking for:
- Proven experience in web design, website building, or a related field—especially with WordPress or other CMS platforms.
- Familiarity with the WordPress block editor is a plus.
- Ability to work quickly without sacrificing quality, balancing speed with thoughtful design.
- Strong written communication skills and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment with shifting priorities and new experiments.
- Comfortable using AI tools to improve efficiency, creativity, and problem solving within a high-volume design workflow.
- A collaborative team spirit—you’re generous with your knowledge and eager to help others level up.
- A customer-first mindset with a clear understanding of how both pre-sales and post-launch experiences drive long-term success.
Bonus skills:
- Experience with technical sales, customer onboarding, or live customer support.
- Familiarity with creating or maintaining reusable themes, including child themes and block patterns.
- Background in operations, service design, or optimizing workflows in high-volume environments.
This is a chance to directly impact thousands of customers while being part of a fast-growing, high-performance team. If you thrive in a creative, high-output environment—and you love seeing your work out in the world making a difference—we’d love to hear from you.
