Ascension LLC is seeking a Senior Frontend & Club Automation Integration Developer to support the Columbia Association Website Redesign effort. This role is intended for a senior hands-on developer who can translate approved UX/UI designs, mobile-first wireframes, CMS components, and integration requirements into a responsive, accessible, high-performing user experience.

The ideal candidate will serve as Ascension’s primary frontend production resource for implementing dynamic UI components, responsive templates, personalization-ready interfaces, search and discovery experiences, registration workflows, scheduling and availability displays, member/non-member pricing presentation logic, and secure transactional user journeys. The Columbia Association RFP requires a modern, mobile-first, audience-intelligent website that supports program registration, membership purchasing, event registration, contextual experiences, secure integrations, and a flexible CMS platform.

This position is especially important because CA’s website must support users who may move between informational, discovery, and transactional needs in a single session. The frontend experience must therefore be intuitive, accessible, fast on mobile devices, and capable of adapting based on authentication state, intent, and membership context.

Summary of the Contractor Role

The Senior Frontend & Club Automation Integration Developer will support Phase 3 development and related build, testing, and launch-readiness activities for Ascension’s technical workshare. The contractor will implement responsive frontend templates, integrate dynamic UI components, support CMS component configuration, and build frontend experiences that align with the project’s mobile-first, accessibility-compliant, and audience-aware goals.

The role requires a developer who is comfortable working in a CMS-driven environment, integrating with APIs and third-party systems, collaborating with UX/UI designers and backend/platform developers, and translating user journeys into production-ready frontend functionality. The contractor must be able to build search/filtering interfaces, faceted navigation patterns, registration and scheduling workflows, member-facing Club Automation interfaces, authentication-aware display logic, and frontend personalization behaviors.

The ideal candidate should be detail-oriented, highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable working in an agile delivery environment where requirements may evolve through discovery, design validation, integration constraints, and user acceptance testing. This individual must be able to anticipate technical risks, propose practical solutions, and collaborate effectively with the project manager, UX/UI lead, CMS/platform architect, QA/accessibility resources, and integration team.

This role will help solve the practical implementation challenge of turning CA’s strategic vision into a reliable digital experience: a website that is not just visually modern, but also fast, usable, secure, accessible, integrated, and easy for CA users to navigate across programs, membership, events, policies, and transactions.

Anticipated Day-to-Day Activities

The Senior Frontend & Club Automation Integration Developer will be expected to:

• Implement responsive frontend templates based on approved mobile-first wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and design system standards.
• Develop reusable frontend components for CMS-managed pages, landing pages, program detail pages, registration pathways, membership pages, search results, and transactional flows.
• Integrate frontend components with CMS content models, page builders, reusable modules, centralized media libraries, and structured content.
• Support frontend implementation of Club Automation user-facing workflows, including registration, scheduling, availability, waitlist displays, member/non-member pricing presentation, and account-aware user journeys.
• Build authentication-aware frontend experiences that adjust content, calls-to-action, navigation, and interface states for logged-in versus anonymous users.
• Implement personalization-ready interface patterns that support rules-based or context-aware content delivery based on user intent, membership status, and session context.
• Develop search and discovery interfaces, including unified search, faceted navigation, filtering, document search presentation, and audience-aware discovery journeys.
• Optimize frontend performance for mobile users, including page speed, responsive layout behavior, image handling, lazy loading, caching support, and Core Web Vitals considerations.
• Ensure frontend accessibility alignment with WCAG 2.1 AA or the most current applicable accessibility standard required at implementation.
• Validate frontend behavior across major browsers, devices, screen sizes, and assistive technology considerations.
• Collaborate with UX/UI, backend, CMS, integration, QA, accessibility, and project management resources to resolve implementation issues.
• Translate integration requirements into user-facing interface behavior for APIs, middleware, authentication, CRM, calendar, payment, and Club Automation touchpoints.
• Support test planning, UAT, defect remediation, accessibility remediation, and launch-readiness activities.
• Document component behavior, integration assumptions, configuration steps, and frontend implementation notes for handoff to CA and the prime team.
• Participate in sprint planning, technical reviews, status meetings, defect triage, and launch checklist validation.
• Identify frontend risks related to performance, accessibility, browser compatibility, CMS constraints, personalization logic, and integration dependencies.
• Recommend practical solutions that balance user experience, maintainability, integration complexity, and project schedule.
