About the Role

We're looking for a Front-End CMS Developer on a 6-month contract role to support ongoing enhancements to our digital platforms, with a focus on HubSpot CMS. This role centers on building clean, accessible, and reusable front-end components, improving themes, and ensuring a seamless authoring experience for our Marketing team. You'll work closely with internal developers and designers, translating UX direction into polished, production-ready templates.

Key Responsibilities

CMS Development & Theming

• Build, update, and maintain CMS templates, themes, and reusable modules for a multilingual site (primarily English + French).
• Implement responsive and accessible front-end experiences aligned with brand guidelines.
• Improve CMS authoring workflows and ensure smooth content editing for business users.
• Identify and fix layout, styling, and cross-browser issues across CMS-managed pages.

HubSpot CMS (Preferred Experience)

• Develop custom modules and templates using HubL, HubDB, and HubSpot's design tools.
• Help standardize HubSpot themes and reduce redundant assets.
• Support the Marketing team with landing page creation, campaign setups, and content adjustments.
• Troubleshoot HubSpot-side quirks or asset issues and recommend best practices.

Front-End Development

• Write clean, maintainable HTML, CSS/SCSS, and JavaScript.
• Ensure strong performance, accessibility (A11y), and mobile-first responsiveness.
• Integrate front-end components with APIs or CMS-driven dynamic data.
• Maintain consistency across modules through reusable patterns and shared styles.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work with developers, designers, and Marketing stakeholders to refine requirements.
• Communicate timelines and blockers clearly, especially given fast-turnaround expectations.
• Participate in code reviews and align with internal coding standards.
• Deliver high-quality work with minimal oversight in an iterative Agile environment.

Required Experience

• 3–5 years of professional front-end development experience.
• Strong skills in HTML5, CSS3/SCSS, and JavaScript.
• Hands-on experience building or customizing CMS sites/themes (HubSpot, WordPress, or similar).
• Comfortable developing or translating designs from Figma/Adobe XD into modular front-end components.
• Solid understanding of UX patterns, responsive design, and accessibility.
• Familiarity with Git and Agile workflows.

Nice to Have

• Direct experience with HubSpot CMS development (CLI, HubL, HubDB, custom themes, modules).
• Experience integrating CMS components with REST APIs.
• Experience optimizing CMS performance (image handling, asset bundling, etc.).

Contract Expectations

• Must be able to deliver high-quality front-end work with autonomy.
• Availability for regular check-ins (in-person or remote) with internal development and Marketing teams.
• Ability to support fast-paced, iterative changes (property updates, campaign pages, etc.).
