Web Manager (Independent Contractor - Philippines)

THE ROLE:

We’re looking for an experienced and dependable Web Manager to join GAIN and take ownership of the planning, build, and ongoing management of GAIN’s websites, including www.thisisgain.com and https://iq.thisisgain.com/. We are actively hiring independent contractors based in the Philippines, ready to take on meaningful, remote work with international clients.

You’ll be responsible for managing website, landing page, and related projects, from discovery and technical planning through to build, launch, and post-launch optimisation. Working primarily in WordPress but also across other CMS platforms, you’ll translate marketing briefs into fully functioning, high-quality websites and web pages.

This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable managing multiple websites and platforms simultaneously. You’ll collaborate with the GAIN sales and marketing team, troubleshoot issues, and ensure quality, accessibility, and performance standards are met before anything goes live.

You’ll manage day-to-day web projects and work closely with specialists in design, development, SEO, paid media, content, and strategy.

Success will be measured through the quality and reliability of the websites you deliver, the timeliness and commercial impact of your projects, and your contribution to GAIN’s web presence.
