Responsibilities

• Own organic search strategy and performance across the client portfolio, from audit to results
• Run in-depth technical audits (Screaming Frog, Semrush, Ahrefs) and turn findings into prioritised, actionable tickets
• Work with our Web Developer to implement fixes across site architecture, indexability, Core Web Vitals, structured data and crawlability
• Lead local SEO for multi-location clients: location pages, Google Business Profiles, citations and review strategy
• Drive content optimisation: keyword and intent research, content briefs, on-page optimisation and internal linking, with full writing handled by our copywriter
• Plan and deliver link acquisition campaigns: outreach, partnerships, resource-led content and local citations, with protected time each week to avoid off-page work becoming an afterthought
• Monitor and manage backlink profiles across the portfolio
• Track and grow visibility in AI search including within ChatGPT, AI Overviews and whatever comes next, alongside traditional rankings, and help shape our approach as the landscape shifts
• Own organic measurement through GA4, Search Console and GTM, reporting on rankings, traffic and conversions in plain English for clients
• Contribute audits and organic forecasts to new business proposals

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on SEO experience covering both technical and off-page work, ideally across multiple sites or clients
• Fluency with the standard toolkit: Screaming Frog, Semrush or Ahrefs, GA4, Search Console and Tag Manager
• Enough technical depth to speak precisely with a developer; you don't need to write the code, but you do need to specify what it needs to achieve well
• Proven link-building or digital PR experience: you've done outreach yourself and secured links you're proud of
• A clear, jargon-free communication style and able to explain why a canonical tag matters to someone who doesn’t know!
• Driven curiosity about where search is going, including AI assistants and answer engines
• Conscientiousness: you care that things are done properly, even when nobody is checking
• A supportive way of working: generous with your knowledge, straightforward and good to be around
• The discipline part-time working takes: you organise your own week, document as you go, communicate asynchronously, and deliver inside 22.5 focused hours

• Work from the EU for up to 10 working days every year (pro-rata)
