It’s not often you get the chance to develop a new business within a business, that’s already over 20,000 people strong. And it’s even rarer to do so at the start of one of the most exciting digital transformations in retail. At Wilko, it’s all going on. We’re growing our digital offering, our digital team, and the skills and careers of ambitious digital professionals with the development experience, passion, initiative and drive to get stuff done. Lots of stuff. Essentially, overhauling all the platforms and features needed to offer a world-class retail experience - no matter how, when or where our customers engage with us. It’s not for the faint hearted. But it is for big, experienced thinkers who want the scope and sense of adventure of a start up - with the stability and backing of a loved, established brand.

With a huge digital strategy already largely in place, it’s your chance to shape what comes next and put your name to high profile work that will be seen by millions. We’re looking for innovators, development specialists, doers. People with original ideas on how to quadruple our online sales, and the talent to make them happen.

As one of two Front End Web Developers with Wilko, you’ll help to make the magic happen across our desktop and mobile sites. None of this can come to life without your well developed technical skills - and ability to translate web design concepts into a great customer experience. If you’re looking for a new challenge, they don’t get much bigger than this. There’ll be so much scope to innovate and take the initiative as you bounce ideas off our technical specialists, development team and Ecommerce experts… amongst others.

Of course, technical skills are essential for a Front End Web Developer with a massive retailer. But we also want someone with bags of energy, enthusiasm and thoughts on how to make our UX/UI the best it can possibly be - and making our platforms a place where customers enjoying spending time and money. Considered somewhat of an expert already, you’ll have experience of building and managing responsive and optimised web designs across various devices. You’ll also have experience of JavaScript, HTML, JQuery, CSS coding techniques, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Having built and tested advanced test variants within A/B test tools such as Optimizely, Qubit and VWO, you’ll need to keep yourself on top of all things digital and development to make sure you grow as fast as our business.
