• Perform technical SEO audits to identify and fix issues related to site architecture, crawlability, and indexation.
• Collaborate with content teams to ensure on-page content is optimised for both users and search engines.
• Analyse and report on organic performance using Google Search Console, GA4, and industry-standard search analytics platforms.
• Work closely with the Paid Media team to share search query insights, coordinate keyword targeting and develop a unified search strategy.
• Support project teams with SEO requirements for site migrations and new client onboards.
• Stay informed on algorithm updates, competitor activity, and emerging trends, particularly in AI-driven search and GEO.
• Build strong working relationships with internal stakeholders (eCommerce, Content, Paid Media) and external brand clients.
