Deerfield is the marketing and communications partner of choice.

Our full-service capabilities are rooted in storytelling and powered by technology to deliver focused strategy, optimized execution, and tangible outcomes.

Role Summary

We're hiring a Junior Web Developer to join our tech organization and help produce client-ready digital assets — primarily HTML emails, display / HTML5 banners, and Sanity CMS website updates.

This is a hands-on production seat: you'll ship clean, QC-ready work on agency timelines, partner with creative and account teams, and grow under the team's leadership.

This role is not a senior architect or AI platform role, not primarily backend / DevOps / data engineering and not a creative design seat. We are looking for someone who will implement and adapt and own creative concepts.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain responsive HTML/CSS emails from creative comps, with consistent rendering across major email clients and devices
• Produce and adapt display / HTML5 banner ads (masters and size variants), respecting weight, animation, and platform specs
• Implement and update content on Sanity CMS (and related) websites / landing experiences with clean, maintainable front-end code
• Translate Figma / Adobe designs into production-ready assets; optimize images and assets for web and email
• Perform technical QA before handoff: links, spacing, responsive breakpoints, email-client quirks, and basic accessibility checks
• Collaborate with creative, account, project management, and tech teammates; communicate status, blockers, and timelines in our ticket/workflow tools
• Iterate quickly on feedback, proofing notes, and medical/legal (MLR) revisions common in healthcare work
• Document builds lightly (file organization, template notes) and contribute to reusable patterns over time
• Support timed production releases and go-lives for emails, banners, and website updates. Some releases land early morning or late evening; occasional off-hours flexibility is required, with advance notice whenever possible

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• 0–2 years of web production, email development, digital design production, or related experience (internships, freelance, and strong portfolio projects count); 1–2 years ideal
• Working knowledge of HTML and CSS (read, write, debug)
• Demonstrated ability to build responsive layouts for email and/or web
• Comfort with Figma and/or Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop/Illustrator) for asset prep and handoff
• Experience updating or building in a CMS (Sanity, Contentful, WordPress, or similar), or clear portfolio evidence of structured web content work
• Strong attention to detail, time management across concurrent projects, and clear written/verbal communication
• Portfolio or work samples required
• Related degree or equivalent experience / portfolio
• Comfortable with occasional early-morning or late-evening release windows when client go-lives require it

Preferred Qualifications

• Email QA platforms: Litmus and/or Email on Acid
• ESP / marketing platforms: Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Braze, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Knak, Stripo, or similar
• MJML for email templating
• Google Web Designer (GWD) for HTML5 banner production
• Git basics and collaborative pull-request workflow
• Basic JavaScript; banner animation (GSAP, CSS animation, or Adobe Animate)
• Familiarity with IAB / ad-server specs and file-weight optimization
• Accessibility awareness (WCAG basics)
• Interest in healthcare / pharma marketing, regulated review processes, or Veeva-adjacent workflows
• Ticket tools (Jira, Asana, ClickUp, etc.); light Node/PHP familiarity
• Analytics basics (GA4 / GTM)

At Deerfield, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic work environment, so if this role and our culture excite you, we encourage you to apply even if you do not have the exact experience or meet all of the requirements outlined in this job posting. Our HR team will review your resume and experience to see if you align at a different level or possibly better align to other open positions.
