When you apply, please make sure your heading reads as follows: “I actually read the instructions”
Who we are:
We are a group of hard core problem solving, custom code hacking, status-quo bucking, out-of-the-box thinking, genius digital marketing ninjas breaking out the creative solutions with a vengeance and the passion of a thousand suns (covered in Tabasco sauce)…
More specifically, we are a digital marketing agency with a special focus on high-end PPC Ads management and we are the BEST at what we do! We’re headquartered in Orlando, FL with team members across the globe.
We have a small team of 12 rock stars, all committed to working hard to make sure our clients are successful. Check out our website:
What we’re looking for:
We need a new Developer! This is a remote (work from home) position.
Our WordPress developer needs to Lead Generation enough to interface with the advertising (ppc + seo) and creative services team, answer client questions, help troubleshoot problems, and guide the website strategy. They don’t build or manage the campaigns, but they translate our vision and site performance to the team, while also thinking about the UX/UI goals of the account.
This unique mix of right brain (team building and project management) and left brain (website strategy and data analysis) skills makes our Mongoose Devs very special people. They are the lifeblood of our websites’ and we’re looking to find more wonderful team members who can help us grow!
Salary & growth opportunities:
This position starts out at a part time role. But, we are looking to hire a full time WordPress developer in the future to offer additional services for our clients.
At times, our WordPress developer may have an intern assisting them.
You’ll work under the owner on the creative services team, as you learn the ins and outs of Mongoose Media
You’ll be assigned clients slowly as we begin to build your confidence
You’ll be graded on your web and campaign performance
Once you are managing a full slate (we have an algorithm to determine a full slate based on the bandwidth taken up by the types of projects and clients on your plate) you will be promoted to a Senior Developer
Growth opportunities:
– Strong opportunity for growth for our Developers who take on additional projects past a full slate.
– You’ll be graded on your web and campaign performance.
– We actively promote from within. Successful Developers are first in line for promotion into our core strategy team.
The ideal candidate:
WordPress Development: We have a few websites in WordPress, including our own, but the bulk of the work will likely be for our personal websites. Your job is to learn about the project’s end goal and understand what the best way to deliver that message and CTA on their site. And then, guide the Mongoose team towards the website strategies that help their campaigns become as profitable as possible. If this means they need to change their website strategy, it’s up to you to realize this and recommend it to them.
Problem solving: The cardinal sin at our company is asking someone a question you could have solved yourself. We need people who are willing to “figure it out” and don’t mind rolling up their sleeves. That doesn’t mean we aren’t here to support you, we are. But only when you encounter a problem that you truly can’t solve. You’re expected to bring more to the table than expected and hurdle problems, not allow them to get in your way.
Successful Developers personality profile:
Motivated by competition and results. You are likely a skilled, pragmatic enforcer whose focus on achievement and success can help those around you accomplish goals. You speak directly and make decisions quickly. You like to take charge in a situation and explore worthwhile, effective solutions. Your determination and experience give you the confidence to lead strategy!
Important personality traits:
– Analytical
– Patient
– Reliable
– Pragmatic
– Hungry to Learn
What energizes you:
– Seeing your projects come to life
– Ambitious goals
– Challenges
– Professional growth
Make sure you’re comfortable with:
1. Remote working. This is a remote (work from home) position.
2. All job offers start with a 14-day trial to make sure that we’re the right fit for each other.
3. Graveyard shifts. Working your hours between 4pm – 6 am EST
Our values:
Truth: Everything we do requires a commitment to truth as the core principle and foundation of our company. We are data driven marketers, data is truth. If something isn’t working, we tell the client. If we make a mistake, we’re the first to bring it up and we own it. If we don’t know the answer to something, we admit it readily (and then work to figure it out!) If we disagree, we say so. Truth is the first and most important step to solving any problem.
Responsibility: How do we do more? How do we give more? How do we help each other? Responsibility requires us to constantly be looking for opportunities to go further. We don’t try to get out of work, we lean into it. You’ll never hear us say, “That’s not my job.” By being proactive with our skillset we place ourselves in a position to influence the world around us in a way that only those who understand true responsibility ever can.
Everything we do, we do it well. No matter how long it takes: Slow is fast. Sometimes jumping into a task right away cause we’re eager to please isn’t always the best solution. Understanding the task at its core is critical. We want to understand the end goal before we start. Understand how this project fits in our clients ecosystem. What other pack members may be affected by the project’s development. You need to know that you’re making an impact and understand that there are people relying on you to do what’s best for them. We have been offered a sacred trust in helping people grow their business and so we treat their businesses as our own.
