WordPress Developer (Advanced)

Are you a talented front-end and back-end web developer with excellent speaking skills, a positive attitude, great attention to detail, a creative eye and a fast learner?

Before explaining what a DDC Wizard is, let us introduce you to our company.

We are a fast-growing Digital Marketing Agency covering all aspects of internet marketing and social media. We have been in business and in the Philippines for 10 years. The most important thing you need to understand is not what we do, but who we are, and how we operate.

Here are our 8 Company Values:

Fun
We love what we do
Work is play
We can mix work with pleasure
We travel and get together once or twice a year for Tribal Council to have fun, brainstorm and create together

Proactivity
Fulfilling the unspoken wishes of our clients
We foresee what the client needs to get the best result, and we take action
We do without being told for the greater good of our fellow wizards, our clients, and the company

Curiosity
We are always open to learning more
An idea is never fixed, including our interpretation of a situation, person or circumstances
We always strive to understand the why and what, not just the how

Gratitude
We appreciate our fellow wizards, our clients, and our company all the time
We don’t take anything for granted
We demonstrated our gratitude through 1 or more of the 5 love languages

Generosity
We are happy to give more than expected
We think and act from abundance, because we know what we put out, we shall receive

Above the Line
We take ownership, accountability and responsibility for all our actions and outcome
When we act above the line, we are empowered to create the outcome we want
We don’t go below the line, which means blaming, making excuses or being in denial

Growth
We love learning
We love challenging our thinking, skill sets and outcome
The more we grow, the more we can serve our clients, and more lives are positively touched
We are okay to make mistakes, since there are no mistakes, just experiences and wisdom. We learn and grow from them.

EPIC
Good is not great
Great is not good enough
We do EPIC
We are proud to put our name on the work we produce

We know this is not for everyone… but if you want to work with a company that lives and breathes these values every day, then read on…
