JHC Consulting provides deliberate counsel to board committees and chief executives on matters of strategy and governance. We believe that written argument produces sharper thinking than conversation, and we deliver our analysis through signed memoranda rather than slide decks. We are currently assisting a Singaporean financial services provider as they expand their operations. This expansion requires technical support to ensure our advisory documents and internal platforms remain secure, legible, and reliable. The Junior Web Developer will support the technical delivery of our written work and maintain the digital environments that allow our principals to provide private counsel from anywhere in the world.
The Role
In this role, your primary task is the maintenance and incremental improvement of the internal systems we use to draft, store, and share our work. This is a technical position that requires an appreciation for the written word. You will work on the layout and typography of digital documents to ensure they meet our rigorous standards for readability. Your day to day work involves the following tasks:
- Maintaining our primary web interfaces to ensure they are available for use by our advisors and clients.
- Writing clean, functional code to update internal document repositories and archival systems.
- Monitoring site performance and troubleshooting errors that might impede the delivery of a signed memorandum.
- Assisting with the technical setup required for the expansion of our work with the Singaporean financial services provider.
- Collaborating with principals to understand how digital interfaces can better serve the discipline of reading and analysis.
- Ensuring that the security protocols of our web applications are strictly followed to protect client discretion.
- Translating complex internal logic into simple, reliable web features.
What You Bring
We are looking for an entry level developer who values precision over complexity. You do not need years of professional experience, but you must demonstrate an understanding of web fundamentals and a commitment to the craft of coding. We value the following attributes:
- A working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Familiarity with modern web frameworks or content management systems.
- A high degree of intellectual maturity and the ability to work without constant supervision.
- An eye for clean design that prioritizes text and clarity over visual ornamentation.
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to find the root cause of a technical issue.
- The discipline to document your code clearly, as we believe clear writing is an extension of clear thinking.
- A willingness to learn our specific methodologies for document delivery and information security.
How We Work
At JHC Consulting, the document is the work. We do not participate in the typical ceremonies of management consulting, such as brainstorming sessions or presentation workshops. Instead, we focus on the reading of internal cases and the drafting of a dissenting view. Our "single author" model means that the person who conducts the analysis authors the memorandum and signs their name to it. This creates a high level of individual accountability. As a developer, you will apply the same rigor to your code that our principals apply to their prose. You will be responsible for the integrity of the technical tools you build and maintain.
Working at JHC Consulting
This is a permanent, full time position that is conducted entirely in a remote environment. We have designed our firm to be small and deliberate, allowing us to focus on a limited number of mandates each quarter. We do not have a physical office, and we expect every person in the firm to manage their own time and workload with professional discretion. This role offers the opportunity to support high level advisory work from any location. The position is paid, and the compensation is competitive for the role and the market. We provide the autonomy necessary for you to do your best work without the distractions of a traditional corporate setting.
The work we do is held on file by our clients for years as a record of serious thought and external challenge. Because every page of a JHC memorandum carries the author's name, we insist on a standard of scrutiny that extends to every part of our practice, including our technology. We seek a developer who understands that the digital medium must never distract from the weight of the message it carries.
