Job description
Thinkster Careers · Pune 2026
Looking for a serious SEO Specialist Job in Pune in 2026? Thinkster is hiring a full-time SEO Specialist to join our in-house digital marketing team in Pune. If you're passionate about Google rankings, technical SEO, and content that actually converts – this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Note: This is an on-site position. Remote candidates and freelancers are not eligible.
Role: SEO Specialist, Experience: 3–4 Years, Mode: On-site, Full-time, Location: Bavdhan, Pune, Compensation: Competitive – Bonus Structure, Industry: Digital Marketing Agency.
There's no shortage of SEO jobs in Pune right now. The market is loud, and most listings sound the same – keyword research, on-page work, monthly reports, link building, repeat. That's not the work we're hiring for.
This SEO specialist job in Pune is built for someone who's done the basics for a few years and wants to move into work that actually matters – technical audits with real engineering impact, content strategy mapped to genuine search intent, and reporting that drives business decisions instead of filling a slide. You'll be the SEO voice in the room, and the room actually listens.
We work across branding, content, web design, and digital marketing – which means your SEO work won't get siloed. You'll collaborate with developers on Core Web Vitals, with writers on content briefs, and with strategists on campaign-level keyword planning. The cross-functional exposure is part of the role, not a side benefit.
Search & Strategy
- Keyword Research: Conduct in-depth keyword analysis using SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Google tools to identify ranking opportunities
- On-Page SEO: Optimize content, headings, and metadata to improve visibility and click-through rates
- Content Strategy: Collaborate with content creators to build SEO-friendly content mapped to real search intent
- Competitor Analysis: Track competitor rankings, gap opportunities, and SERP changes
Technical & Reporting
- Technical SEO: Perform site audits, resolve crawl errors, and enhance indexability
- Backlink Building: Develop outreach strategies to earn high-authority backlinks
- SEO Reporting: Track results in Google Analytics and Search Console, recommend data-driven improvements
- Core Web Vitals: Collaborate with developers on performance and indexing health
A lot of on-page SEO jobs in Pune are exactly what they sound like – title tags, meta descriptions, alt text, repeat. Useful work, but limited. This role pushes further. As our SEO specialist, you'll handle the full technical SEO stack: crawl budget optimization, schema markup implementation, JavaScript rendering issues, hreflang for multi-region sites, internal linking architecture, and site migrations when they come up.
If you've been doing on-page-only work and want to grow into deeper technical SEO territory – or if you're already a technical SEO who wants a role that lets you actually use those skills, this is built for that progression.
Required
- Experience: 3–4 years in SEO with hands-on work in rankings, technical audits, and link acquisition
- Tech Knowledge: Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and schema markup
- Tools: Expertise in SEMrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console
- Analytical Thinking: Able to evaluate SEO KPIs and make actionable decisions, not just observations
- Communication: Clear written and verbal communication across departments
Education & Bonus
- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Computer Science, or a related field
- Google Analytics, Google Ads, or HubSpot SEO certifications are a plus
- Familiarity with AI SEO tools like SurferSEO or Content AI
- Experience with Looker Studio or similar reporting dashboards
- Working knowledge of WordPress and Rank Math / Yoast at admin level
Tools you'll work with daily

Job titles in the SEO industry are notoriously inconsistent. An SEO executive job in one Pune agency can have more responsibility than an SEO manager role at another. Here's how we define this position so you can decide if it matches where you are in your career:
This sits above an entry-level SEO analyst job in Pune (which typically handles execution under supervision) and just below an SEO manager job in Pune (which owns team leadership and client P&L). You'll be a hands-on SEO expert — leading projects independently, mentoring juniors when needed, and reporting to senior strategy. If you're a strong SEO executive ready for more ownership, or a manager who wants to stay close to the actual work, this fits both directions.
Working as an SEO specialist inside a focused digital marketing agency is a different experience than doing SEO in-house. At Thinkster, your work touches multiple client industries, multiple site architectures, multiple search intent patterns — which compounds your learning curve faster than any single in-house role can.
You'll also work alongside the team behind our larger social media marketing campaigns and contribute search-driven thinking to branding and rebranding projects where SEO migration planning genuinely matters. SEO doesn't sit in a corner here — it sits next to strategy.
Rankings are the headline. Revenue is the actual story.
- Competitive compensation with a transparent bonus structure tied to actual outcomes
- Continuous learning — certifications, courses, and conference budgets supported
- Premium SEO tool access — full licenses, not shared logins or trial accounts
- Friendly, innovative, and fast-paced work environment in Bavdhan, Pune
- Cross-functional exposure to content, design, web development, and paid media
- Direct mentorship from senior digital marketing strategists
- A clear career path toward senior SEO and digital marketing leadership roles
Pune has quietly become one of India's strongest cities for building an SEO career — there's a healthy mix of agencies, SaaS companies, D2C brands, and IT firms all hiring SEO talent. But the quality of opportunities varies enormously. Some companies still think SEO is a checklist of meta tag edits. Others actually invest in proper technical work, content infrastructure, and measurable growth.
If you've spent 3–4 years doing the basics and now want to work somewhere that takes SEO seriously, your next move matters. The agency you join now shapes the next 2–3 years of your career trajectory — the kinds of projects you touch, the tools you master, and the seniority you can credibly claim afterward.
Is this SEO specialist job in Pune remote-friendly?
No — this is strictly an on-site role at our Bavdhan, Pune office. Remote candidates and freelancers are not eligible for this position.
Do I need exactly 3–4 years of SEO experience?
3–4 years is our preferred range. If you have 2.5 years with strong technical SEO work, or 5+ years with the right fit for the role, apply anyway. Skill depth matters more than year count.
Is this more of an on-page SEO job or a technical SEO job?
Both. You'll handle on-page optimization, technical audits, content strategy, and link building. If you're strong on one side and developing on the other, that's fine — but pure on-page-only specialists may find the technical scope demanding.
Will I get access to premium SEO tools?
Yes — full licenses for SEMrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, and others. We don't operate on shared trial accounts. Tool access is part of doing the job properly.
What does growth look like after this role?
Strong performers typically progress toward Senior SEO Specialist, SEO Manager, or broader digital marketing strategy roles within 18–24 months at Thinkster.
