SEO Expert and Marketing - Full Time
Worldwide
We're looking for an experienced SEO Expert to join our growing team and take ownership of SEO across a range of digital projects. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how to grow organic traffic, improve search visibility, identify ranking opportunities, and turn SEO into measurable business results. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING - Develop and execute SEO strategies across multiple websites. - Conduct keyword and competitor research. - Identify high-value search opportunities. - Perform technical SEO audits and resolve ranking issues. - Improve website structure, internal linking and crawlability. - Optimise landing pages, titles, headings and website content. - Develop SEO-focused content strategies and briefs. - Analyse Google search results and competitor performance. - Develop and execute backlink and outreach strategies. - Identify quality backlink and partnership opportunities. - Work with developers and content teams to implement improvements. - Monitor rankings, organic traffic, leads and conversions. - Use data to continuously improve SEO performance. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Proven hands-on SEO experience. - Strong understanding of technical, on-page and off-page SEO. - Strong keyword research and search-intent analysis skills. - Experience with backlink building and outreach. - Experience using Google Search Console and GA4. - Experience with tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog or similar. - Ability to independently investigate why a website isn't ranking. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. - Ability to prioritise SEO work based on potential impact. - Comfortable using AI tools to improve productivity while validating the output. WHAT MATTERS TO US We care about results, not SEO theatre. We want someone who can look at a website, understand the business, analyse the competition and determine what needs to happen to improve its organic performance. You should be comfortable explaining what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what result you expect it to produce. THE ROLE Full time, ongoing and fully remote, working directly with our content and development teams across several websites. You will own SEO end to end: you decide what to work on, you explain the reasoning, and you report on what it produced. HOW WE'LL JUDGE THE WORK - Within the first 2 weeks: a technical SEO audit of our primary site, with issues listed in priority order and an estimate of the ranking impact of each. - Within the first 4 weeks: a keyword and competitor research document covering target keywords, search intent, current ranking positions and the gaps worth pursuing. - Within the first 6 weeks: an agreed SEO roadmap with the work sequenced by expected impact, and on-page fixes underway on the highest-priority pages. - Ongoing: content briefs delivered to the content team, and a backlink and outreach plan with live, tracked outreach. - Ongoing: a monthly report covering rankings, organic traffic, leads and conversions, showing what changed, what you did, and what you expect next. - Throughout: work is implemented and verified live, not just recommended. Recommendations that are never shipped do not count as delivered. Please apply with a short note on the sites you've grown and what the results were.
