Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Developing and owning strategic link-building plans across a portfolio of iGaming clients — from research and targeting through to placement and performance analysis
  • Sourcing high-quality publications and websites aligned to each client’s sector and objectives
  • Crafting compelling outreach communications and negotiating placements within agreed budget parameters
  • Developing targeted content assets designed to secure placements — written to editorial standard, built around what publishers actually want
  • Monitoring third-party spend proactively — identifying overspend risks early and addressing them through effective negotiation
  • Managing and developing your direct reports through regular 1-1s, SMART goal setting, performance reviews, and hands-on guidance
  • Owning your client accounts end-to-end: transparent monthly updates, strategy sessions, KAM planning, and client meetings
  • Presenting campaign insights and performance to clients and internal stakeholders with confidence
  • Contributing to agency marketing and growth initiatives — newsletters, blog posts, and client development plans

Requirements

  • 2+ years' experience in off-page SEO and link-building, ideally agency-side
  • Proven line management or mentoring experience — you’ve developed people, not just worked alongside them
  • A strong track record of securing high-quality placements through compelling outreach and effective negotiation
  • Proficient with outreach and SEO tools — BuzzStream, Ahrefs, SEMrush, or equivalent
  • Experience managing third-party budgets — tracking spend, flagging risks, and negotiating to stay on target
  • Data-driven mindset: you set measurable goals, track performance, and optimise based on what the numbers tell you
  • Confident presenting to clients and senior stakeholders — you can hold a room and handle difficult questions
  • Comfortable using AI tools to support content production and outreach workflows

Preferred

  • Experience in digital PR campaigns
  • Solid understanding of SEO or content optimisation
  • iGaming or regulated-sector experience — we’ll get you up to speed if not

Benefits

  • £33,000 - £40,000 depending on experience.
  • Remote-first position.
  • Defined career pathways, personal development plans, and regular appraisals so you always know where you stand and what’s next. Team training budgets, a Training Academy, an AI-powered learning platform, and a genuine commitment to promoting from within.
  • Pay and Rewards That Reflect Your Work
  • Competitive salaries benchmarked annually, a company bonus paid twice a year, enhanced pension contributions as your career develops, a Long-Term Incentive Plan, and generous referral bonuses. Good work gets rewarded here.
  • Your Contribution, Recognised
  • Monthly MVP Award (£100), Values Champion recognition (£25 plus a prize wheel spin up to £100), and an annual Player of the Season award (up to £250). Weekly shout-outs and appreciation from colleagues and managers are just part of how we work.
  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Free annual health checks, flu jabs, and eye tests. Access to mental health first aiders, confidential counselling sessions, a cycle-to-work scheme, and five paid sick days on top of SSP. We take looking after our people seriously.
  • Time That’s Yours
