• Monitor website and SEO performance using tools such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console, reporting on traffic, rankings, and conversions.

• Maintain a backlog of website enhancements and SEO opportunities, prioritising fixes and improvements with the Digital Marketing Manager.

• Keep up to date with search engine algorithm changes, WordPress updates, and web development best practice to continually improve site performance.

• Maintain the Group's WordPress sites within their current architecture — hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), built on Roots’ Bedrock and Sage — including Git-based deployment pipelines, Composer-managed dependencies, and the weekly staging-to-production maintenance cycle (plugin and core updates, visual regression testing, PHP version upgrades).
