Since 2009, The Dorm has been a mission-driven, client-centered mental health organization that has been bringing comprehensive, evidence-based treatment to young adults, ages 18-30. We are looking for a skilled, proactive, and responsive Contract Email Developer to join our multidisciplinary team remotely and contribute to our goal of making a difference.
We're looking for a contract Email and Wordpress Developer to support our in-house development team with ongoing projects. You'll collaborate closely with our marketing team to build custom-coded email campaigns within Mailchimp and Constant Contact and support projects on a custom-coded Wordpress website. This role is ideal for someone who is responsive and detail-oriented with 5+ years of HTML/CSS email experience, Wordpress experience, and Bootstrap skills.
What You Will Do:
For Email :
  • Develop and maintain custom HTML email templates for use in Mailchimp and Constant Contact
  • Translate design files (e.g., Figma, Canva, Adobe XD) into responsive, pixel-accurate email code
  • Ensure compatibility across major email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, mobile devices)
  • Troubleshoot and fix rendering issues in existing campaigns
  • Optimize emails for deliverability, accessibility, and performance
  • Implement dynamic content and merge tags within Mailchimp
  • Collaborate with marketing/design teams to refine layouts and functionality using the Asana project management platform
  • Provide QA and testing before campaign deployment - exacting attention to details, very communicative and responsive

For Wordpress:
  • Manage content updates, including copy and media.
  • Develop and update custom PHP templates, using Advanced Custom Fields for custom content management.
  • Bonus: Knowledge and experience with Thesis.
Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience in email and Wordpress web development (freelance or professional).
  • Proven experience coding HTML emails (not just web HTML)
  • Strong understanding of email-specific CSS limitations and workarounds
  • Hands-on experience with Mailchimp and Constant Contact (template structure, merge tags, campaign setup)
  • Familiarity with responsive email frameworks (e.g., hybrid/fluid design techniques)
  • Experience testing with tools like Litmus or Email on Acid (or equivalent methods)
  • Attention to detail and ability to meet quick turnaround times.
  • Strong knowledge of Bootstrap, Flexbox, and JavaScript.
  • Experience with WCAG, AIO, and SEO best practices.
  • Familiarity with project management tools (e.g. Asana) and standard development workflows.
  • Excellent communication skills and self-motivation while working autonomously in a remote environment.
Bonus Skills (Nice to Have):
  • Experience with accessibility best practices for email
  • Basic understanding of email marketing metrics and optimization
  • Familiarity with other ESPs (e.g., Klaviyo, HubSpot)

Schedule: Available weekly during EST business hours up to 10 hours/week remotely.
Compensation: $40 USD/hour.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We consider applicants for all positions on the basis of merit, qualifications and business needs, and without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, age, disability, alienage or citizenship status, ancestry, marital status, partnership status, creed, sexual and reproductive health decisions, genetic predisposition or carrier status, sexual orientation, uniformed service or veteran status, familial status, status as a victim of domestic violence or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable federal, state or local laws.
