what website manager jobs entail

Every website manager role is unique, depending on the industry, the size of the company and the specific needs of the business. For example, an ecommerce website may require a greater level of day-to-day attention than a more static website. Website managers typically work normal business hours, but your hours of work could vary — and occasional work in the evenings or on weekends is not uncommon. You will spend your time working with the web team and collaborating with stakeholders involved in marketing, social media, content development and more. At larger companies, you will likely report the VP of marketing or head of marketing. At smaller companies, you might report directly to the owner.

Day-to-day tasks will include:

• ensuring the website is running optimally
• addressing website issues and glitches
• monitoring website traffic
• working to improve the overall user experience
• tracking marketing and social media campaigns

• adding new website pages and blog posts
• improving onsite search engine optimization

where you can work

As a website manager, you will find opportunities to work with companies of all sizes, from startups to large corporations, across virtually every industry. What’s more, some website manager positions allow for 100 percent remote work, as well.

Having a strong track record of success in similar roles in the past will likely give you an edge over other candidates.
