SEO Content Writer & Link Building Specialist

We’re a B2B AI software company building an AI agent for complex, high-stakes knowledge bases, particularly for teams that can’t afford inaccurate answers. Our customers span financial services, industrial and technical organizations, and businesses with complex product catalogs. We’re building our content and organic search presence from close to zero, and need someone who can both write genuinely well-researched SEO content and acquire real backlinks for it. Not just publish content and hope it ranks. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role reporting to our product marketing lead. You’ll own our content calendar and link-building outreach. What you'll do Write SEO-optimized articles and landing pages targeting a defined keyword list. Starting terms include “AI agent for customer support,” “RAG chatbot,” “grounded AI chatbot,” “AI chatbot for large knowledge base,” and vertical terms across insurance, mortgage, lending, and industrial/manufacturing documentation. Build out comparison content, for example [Our Product] vs. Intercom Fin and comparisons against other competitors, alongside vertical proof content using real customer case studies and product information we provide. Research and pitch guest posts, resource-page placements, and other legitimate backlink opportunities relevant to AI, SaaS, and enterprise software, and manage outreach relationships end to end. Maintain a simple view of content performance, including organic traffic, ranking movement, and referring domains, and flag what’s working. What we need from you Proven SEO content writing experience for B2B SaaS, ideally in a sufficiently technical category that you’re comfortable writing credibly about AI and RAG concepts. We’ll brief you, and you don’t need to be an ML engineer. A real track record of backlink acquisition through outreach, guest posting, or digital PR, not just directory submissions. Comfortable working from source material such as call transcripts, case study notes, and product documentation rather than needing everything pre-written for you. Nice to have Experience writing for financial services, industrial/manufacturing, or other regulated or technical audiences. Familiarity with AI, LLM, and RAG terminology, or the ability to learn the space quickly. Cadence and output expectations First 1–3 weeks, foundation phase: Priority is completing our cornerstone content set, roughly 4–6 pieces per month. This will include the flagship category page, 2–3 comparison pages, and 1–2 vertical proof pages. Backlink outreach will start lighter during this phase, with an emphasis on prospecting and relationship-building while the core content library is being built. Ongoing, steady state: Roughly 4–6 supporting articles per month, approximately one per week, expanding keyword coverage and updating existing pages. This will run alongside consistent backlink outreach targeting approximately 4–6 quality, relevant placements per month. We’d rather have a smaller number of credible, well-placed backlinks than a high volume of low-quality ones. That’s a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. We’ll adjust the cadence after the first couple of months based on what is actually driving organic traffic and qualified leads, rather than chasing a fixed volume for its own sake.
