Role and Responsibilities

• Create and develop high‑quality, engaging website content across core web pages (including product pages, category pages, and landing pages) and blog posts to achieve high organic search rankings.
• Collaborate with the Head of Ecommerce on continuous content strategy, which involves identifying new keywords, optimising current pages, and proposing new content (like pages or guides) to secure higher rankings and maximise search visibility.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams (including Marketing, Design, and Product & Technical) to source necessary information and make certain all content is comprehensive, accurate, and fully aligned with product specifications and business goals.

• A strong track record of success in SEO, demonstrable via a comprehensive content portfolio. You must be able to describe, or preferably show via a case study, the process you followed to successfully rank a page for a target search term.
• Strong ability to interpret search intent and user behaviour to create content that meets both audience needs and business objectives.
• Experience using Semrush for keyword research and content analysis, or the ability to learn this tool quickly.
• A proven ability to work collaboratively with cross‑functional teams (e.g., Design, Marketing, Product & Technical).
• Highly organised and able to successfully manage multiple content projects simultaneously, while working effectively within a fast‑paced, agile environment.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a strong commitment to delivering high‑quality, polished content that meets both SEO and brand standards.
• Proven prior experience working within an e‑commerce team, specifically producing and managing content for a website.
• Basic understanding of HTML formatting and best practices for web publishing.

Desirable Skills

• Experience of e‑commerce platforms, particularly Wordpress and Magento.
