• Provide SEO recommendations for new content development, including optimising headlines, meta descriptions and content structure to improve search rankings and CTR

• Discounts at the Monocle café and shop
• Breakfast is provided five days a week
• Health and life insurance benefits
• 23 days of annual leave, 7-day Christmas shutdown and 8 bank holidays
