WEBSITE CONTENT MANAGER OPENING IN BEIRUT, LEBANON
JAYPAY is an awesomely-creative brand and marketing agency that start-ups, established companies, as well as international brands are turning to, as we do things differently when it comes to marketing. Our fantastic and growing list of clients stems from all over the world, and the great thing is that we’re just getting started!

JAYPAY’s Lebanon office is located at BDD, and it’s in our Beirut location that we’re looking for a Website Content Manager who has a good understanding of HTML & CSS, as well as someone who is super-organised.

Website Content Manager
As a Website Content Manager at JAYPAY, you’re going to be chiefly responsible for managing the content across all of our clients’ websites. This includes managing the content on a series of websites which are built using WordPress as well as other websites which are built using headless CMS’ on React. It also means you’ll be working with HTML & CSS. You don’t have to be a developer, but someone who knows how HTML & CSS works as you’re going to also be responsible for editing email content, which means dabbling in HTML code.

The ideal Website Content Manager candidate is someone who already has experience in managing website content, as well as someone who has some experience when it comes to developing websites. For instance, if you’ve got experience in developing websites with HTML and CSS, that’s a HUGE plus. To be honest, we’re only interviewing candidates who have experience when it comes to HTML & CSS. You don’t need to be at a web developer’s level, but you will definitely need to know the basics. If you’re willing to learn how to develop using React, JavaScript, and PHP, that’s also a huge advantage.

Working at JAYPAY is fun, challenging, and rewarding, BUT we’re only going to be interviewing candidates who can show us just how well they can work under pressure. Read on to see how you can do this.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A WEBSITE CONTENT MANAGER AT JAYPAY?
As a Website Content Manager, it’s going to be your responsibility to ensure that the websites are working perfectly 100% of the time. This means that you’re going to have to ensure they’re all super-fast (great for SEO), are backed up, have zero broken links, and are translated. But the best bit is going to be when you research new UX/UI methodologies and come to Management with a plan on how to make a page, section, or an entire website better! We’re going to be counting on you to ensure our websites are better than the competitions!

You’ll also be working closely with our Project Manager and our CMO, Rana, on all the current and future projects. It’s a fun and exciting role for anyone who wants to work for a fast-paced firm that’s going places. Plus, you’ll learn a lot. That’s a promise.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AS A WEBSITE CONTENT MANAGER
As a Website Content Manager, you’ll be responsible for:

• Adding new content to the websites.
• Working with translation agencies and translation freelancers, getting quotes for the cost of translating website content, and working with them on an ongoing basis.
• Taking the translated content the agencies and freelancers have given you and adding it to our clients’ websites.
• Editing current HTML emails. This is where your experience in HTML & CSS comes in.
• Making sure that all the websites are lightning fast. You’ll be working with our Development Team, but you’ll be required to learn the tricks of the trade on how to speed up websites.
• Create internal link maps.
• Ensuring that there are absolutely no broken links.
• Creating new sitemaps.
• Creating user journey maps.
• Testing, testing, and even more testing to see if the user journeys work as they should. This is what we at JAYPAY call “QA”.
• Ensuring that all the sites are fully backed up in multiple locations and that the backups can be rolled out if there are any errors or issues. Once again, you’ll be working with our Development Team when it comes to the backing up of all our websites.
• Testing for any vulnerabilities such as SQL injections, etc. If you don’t know how to do this, you’re going to be expected to learn this on your own. No one said this was an easy job.
• Testing and fixing bugs on the websites, and if you can, working to resolve simple coding issues.
• Researching what our clients’ competitors are doing on their websites and then creating a plan so that we can do it better on our clients’ websites.
• Gaining experience when it comes to understanding what UI/UX is.
• Collaborating with other team members and stakeholders.

We’re firm believers that no one is the finished article, and because you’re new, we’re going to be showing you the ropes. What we do hope is that you get to teach us a thing or two. That would be awesome!

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We’re looking for a hungry, driven Website Content Manager who’s comfortable around WordPress. If you’ve also got experience in working with the ACF (Advance Custom Fields) plugin, then that’s a bonus.

If you don’t have experience with WordPress but can really show us that you’re organised, then apply. If you’re someone who can’t wait till they go on their tenth cigarette break of the day, please don’t apply. But, if you’re passionate and driven about learning something new, and can really demonstrate this to us in your cover letter, you need to apply! 

When it comes to adding new talent to JAYPAY, we don’t just look at your academic background. You can have PhDs, but if you don’t fit in, can’t smile, are incapable of having fun, can’t relax, maybe it’s best you try another marketing agency. We’re looking for brilliant minds that’ll turn heads with their creativity, and make everyone around them want to be around them.

For the role of Website Content Manager, we’re looking for a brilliant mind who has the following in their locker:

• Experienced when it comes to managing websites.
• Advanced knowledge of how to code in HTML5 and CSS3. You definitely need to have some experience with HTML & CSS if you’re applying for this role, but if you’re an expert, well that just might take you to the very top of the shortlist!

• Experience with Git is an advantage.
• A good understanding of what the staging to production process is.
• A passion for learning new things, especially development languages.
• A god when it comes to time management and organisation.
• Someone who is responsible and takes full ownership of their work.
• Someone who doesn’t take the piss when it comes to taking breaks, and taking half the team with them.

SOME ADVANTAGES THAT CAN GET YOU THROUGH THE DOOR
When it comes to drawing up the candidate shortlist, we take a look at absolutely everything. But, If you’ve got this additional experience, you just might make it onto the shortlist faster than anyone else:

• Good experience on how to set up a WordPress theme.
• Experience when it comes to working on cPanel.
• You already understand why UX/UI is so damn important.
• You know what a “User Journey” means.
• You have a bit of experience when it comes to developing in React, and you’re hungry to learn more and become a kickass React demigod.

SOME OF THE PERKS
You’ll be loved and cared for, and we show that to all our team in the form of the way we treat them as well as the monetary benefits they enjoy. You’ll be working out of our Beirut office at BDD and you’ll be paid in Fresh US Dollars. Bonuses for exceptionally hard work are given too, and the working environment is fun, energetic, and magnetising.
