Are you early in your web career and keen to learn how SEO fits into real-world website execution? As a Junior / Graduate Web Developer at Beauhurst, you’ll work directly on a B2B WordPress site, building pages, optimising content, and learning how both traditional search engines and LLMs interpret web content.

You’ll work closely with our Growth Engineer and marketing team, learning best practices in WordPress, technical SEO, and growth-focused web development while helping keep our sites fast, accurate, and optimised.

If you’re keen to build strong foundations in web development, love learning new skills, and want exposure to how marketing, SEO, and technology come together in a fast-growing data business — read on.

About Beauhurst

We are building the leading provider of private company data in Europe.

Private companies represent 80% of private sector employment and over 90% of revenues across Europe. They are the backbone of our economy – creating jobs, driving innovation, and generating the tax receipts that enable government services. Yet finding, collecting, and understanding information about private companies remains a significant challenge.

We bridge this gap by providing our customers with comprehensive, up-to-date private company information. Our online platforms and API help our clients to discover, track and understand these companies. This empowers them to take informed action, whether they're offering services or funding to help companies grow, crafting supportive policies, or making better decisions through deeper understanding of the economic landscape.

We work with venture capital firms, big financial institutions, leading universities and the Government to help them find and work with companies that drive disruption and innovation across the economy.

The Role

This is a hands-on Junior / Graduate Web Developer role within Beauhurst’s Marketing team, focused on the day-to-day execution and optimisation of our websites. You’ll be working directly in WordPress, supporting content publishing, page improvements, and ongoing SEO hygiene across our UK and international sites.

You’ll work closely with our Growth Engineer and follow well-documented processes, giving you a strong foundation in how production websites are maintained, optimised, and evolved in a commercial environment.

What you’ll be doing day to day

Your work will span content publishing, website updates, and SEO-focused improvements, including:

• Publishing and maintaining blogs, case studies, videos, and product content in WordPress
• Formatting content correctly and ensuring it’s well-structured, accessible, and SEO-friendly
• Supporting ongoing technical SEO hygiene and site consistency
  Making HTML/CSS tweaks and minor component updates using existing templates
• Assisting with plugin updates in staging environments and performing post-update QA

Growth & development opportunities

This role is designed to build strong fundamentals. Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Deepen your technical SEO knowledge beyond on-page fundamentals
• Take on more complex page builds and template-level changes
• Get exposure to tooling such as Screaming Frog and analytics platforms
• Progress towards a more technical web, SEO, or growth-focused role

While this position is offered on a contract basis, there is potential for a permanent role to open later in the year, subject to performance and business needs.

About you 

• Around 1 year of relevant experience (this can include internships, placements, freelance work, or personal projects)
• A genuine interest in web development and a proactive, curious mindset with a strong desire to learn on the job
• A problem-solving approach, with the ability to investigate issues and follow things through to completion
• Strong attention to detail and pride in producing high-quality work
