• Inform content marketing and SEO/GEO: Collaborate with content teams to identify opportunities for growth across a wide range of channels (organic search including generative engines, organic and paid social, email, Google Discover, etc.) and stay current on digital analytics trends, particularly GEO.
• Collaborate across teams: Work alongside web development, marketing and editorial teams to align optimisation efforts with business objectives.

Essential experience, abilities, knowledge and values you’ll need to succeed

• Analytics expertise: Thorough understanding of, and proven experience in using, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, Google Looker Studio and SEO tools (Ahrefs, Semrush).
• Data storytelling: Excellent reporting and visualisation skills, with the ability to build automated reports and translate complex data into clear, actionable strategies.
• Communication and collaboration: Effective interpersonal skills with a proven track record of working alongside cross-functional, non-technical teams.
• Growth mindset: Curious, creative and analytical thinker eager to stay ahead of digital innovation.
• Project management and prioritisation: Highly organised with the ability to handle multiple analytical projects, meet deadlines and stay adaptable in a dynamic team environment.
• Inclusion and representation: An active dedication to promoting diverse voices and inclusive practices, taking personal responsibility for ensuring our workplace reflects the communities we serve.
• Community: A collaborative approach to building a supportive and vibrant working environment.
• Curiosity: A genuine drive for continuous learning and a readiness to embrace fresh ideas and experimentation.
• Integrity: A foundation of openness and honesty, taking responsibility for actions and learning from mistakes.
• Passion for books: An enthusiastic love for reading and literature (no prior publishing industry experience required).

• GEO tools and application: Experience using generative engine optimisation analytics tools (e.g., Peec.AI, Profound, Otterly.ai) and putting those insights into action.

What you’ll get in return

In return, we can offer you a range of great projects, a supportive and collaborative working environment as well as a competitive salary and benefits package.

Salary: £34,000 to £38,000
