Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're an established education-technology company running a portfolio of UK and international websites in the online-learning, study-skills, careers and student-resources space. Our sites already earn strong organic traffic, and we now want to grow brand authority and earn powerful, relevant backlinks from reputable, high-authority publications. We're looking for an experienced Digital PR / Link-Building Specialist to run earned-media and outreach campaigns that land high-quality links and brand mentions — the white-hat way. What you'll do Plan and run digital PR campaigns — data-led stories, surveys, expert commentary — that earn coverage on high-authority education, careers, tech and mainstream media sites. Pitch journalists and editors via HARO / Connectively / Qwoted and direct outreach. Secure contributor/guest placements on reputable, topically relevant, high-authority sites (target DR/DA 60+, ideally 80+). Build relationships with editors, bloggers, and university/resource-page owners (.edu links a plus). Report every link earned: live URL, DR/DA, referring traffic, anchor, campaign. You should have A proven track record with a portfolio of LIVE placements on DR/DA 60+ sites (share 5–10 with live URLs). Hands-on HARO/Connectively/Qwoted experience. Fluency with Ahrefs / Semrush / Moz / DataForSEO. Excellent written English, strictly white-hat — no PBNs, no link farms, no automated schemes. To apply, include: 5–10 live high-authority links you've earned + DR/DA; note earned vs. paid for each; your rate + turnaround; a couple of lines on earning DR 70+ links in a competitive, sensitive niche (we'll share specifics after connecting). Ongoing work, starting with a paid 2–3 link test before a retainer.
