ABOUT THE ROLE As a Front-End Web Specialist, you’ll be the connective tissue between our web team and the rest of the business. This role exists because great websites aren’t just built — they’re coordinated, prioritised, and protected from chaos. Sitting at the intersection of Marketing and Web Development, you’ll own the intake and lifecycle of web requests, ensure every project is properly scoped before it touches the dev queue, and support the team in delivering an ambitious web roadmap. But this role doesn’t stop at coordination. You’ll also be hands-on in the quality of what we ship — reviewing copy and UX before pages go live, supporting CRO initiatives, and acting as a critical second pair of eyes on every significant release. You care as much about whether a page converts as whether it launches on time. If you’re someone who thrives on bringing order to complexity, understands how a website is actually built, and can hold your own in a room with developers, designers, and marketers alike, this is your role. WHAT YOU’LL DO Technical Ownership & QA - Build and ship pages/components directly in Storyblok CMS: component configuration, staging, QA, and production deployment across market versions - QA every release technically — rendering, functionality, and cross-browser/device behaviour, not just copy and visual polish - Use AI tools as a core part of daily production work (drafting, layout variants, QA support), and know where AI output still needs a human check, particularly around localisation nuance and experiment validity Request Triage & Scoping - Own intake for web requests: qualify, triage, and estimate technical complexity and dependencies before anything is scoped or scheduled - Enforce briefing standards and know enough technically to explain why a brief is incomplete - Decide what can be handled directly vs. what needs to go to the development team, and write specs the team can act on without excessive clarification Project Coordination - Act as day-to-day PM between the development team and business stakeholders: track scope, delivery, and risk - Maintain the web backlog and sprint board with clear status, ownership, and blockers - Support CRO initiatives: help build A/B test setups, document hypotheses, and track experiment results Process & Reporting - Maintain intake templates, briefing standards, and triage criteria - Produce regular status updates and pipeline reports for the Head of Web and wider leadership WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves - 2 to 4 years in a web operations, technical/digital project management, or web production role, ideally with hands-on CMS or front-end exposure — not purely marketing coordination - Working technical literacy: solid HTML/CSS fundamentals, understanding of how a CMS is structured (Storyblok, Contentful, Webflow or similar), staging vs. production workflows, and what a QA process actually checks - Comfortable using AI tools hands-on in production (prompting for drafts, QA’ing AI output) and able to articulate where AI isn’t reliable enough to trust unsupervised - Product/project-management instincts: can scope a request, size complexity, sequence competing priorities, and brief external developers with minimal hand-holding - Confident translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders, and comfortable pushing back on a brief or a deadline when needed - Strong written communication: a clear brief, a precise QA note, a concise status update Nice to have - Hands-on experience with Storyblok or a comparable headless CMS - Familiarity with web analytics or conversion tracking concepts - Exposure to A/B testing/CRO tools, or basic SQL - Experience briefing or QA’ing a development team - Basic understanding of Core Web Vitals / page performance - Familiarity with SEO fundamentals as they intersect with web production WHAT WE OFFER - Receive competitive compensation and equity ownership in Perk - Rest and recharge with 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays - Take control of your physical health with private medical cover and voluntary dental insurance from Bupa, and discounted gym memberships with GymFlex - Plan for your future with our qualifying earnings company pension plan with Aviva - Know that your loved ones are protected financially through your Life Insurance if the worst were to happen - Rest assured that you’re covered by income protection in case you experience a long-term sickness or absence - Leverage tax-efficient cycle and electric car schemes with Cycle2Work & Octopus - Join our unforgettable Perk events, including our spectacular annual summer party - Always feel supported with Spring Health, our market-leading wellbeing partner, providing fast, comprehensive access to 12x therapy and 12x coaching sessions for you and your loved ones - Focus on your family with 12–16 weeks’ paid parental leave - Contribute to your community with 16 paid hours per year to spend volunteering for your dearest charitable causes - Broaden your horizons with up to 20 “Work from Anywhere” days per year - Stay savvy with access to a wide variety of discounts and rewards - Follow your passions and take a four-week, fully paid sabbatical once you reach 5 years - Let us help you move to one of our hubs with relocation support AI at Perk AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.
