• Write and deliver SEO requirements for platform migrations and new build projects.
• Manage redirect strategy, sitemap hygiene, schema markup deployment, and meta tag optimisation at scale.
• Use working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to communicate effectively with developers and QA your own implementations.
• Work with enterprise crawl platforms such as Botify and Screaming Frog for audits and ongoing site monitoring.

Content and On-page

• Manage a blog content pipeline covering briefs, review, publishing, and optimisation across multiple topic verticals.
• Use AI tools such as Gemini and Claude as part of an efficient content production workflow, applying strong editorial judgement to ensure quality and accuracy.
• Explore and develop content formats that serve both users and search engines, including structured layouts, comparison content, and formats that perform well in traditional search and AI-generated responses.
• Build internal linking architecture to strengthen topical authority across topic clusters.

Off-page SEO and Brand Authority

• Develop and execute a link acquisition strategy, identifying high-quality opportunities through competitor backlink analysis, content partnerships, and digital PR.
• Work with the marcoms and PR teams to maximise the SEO value of brand activity, press coverage, and campaign content through strategic placement and linking practices.
• Monitor brand mentions across the web and identify opportunities to convert unlinked mentions into backlinks.
• Manage and maintain local SEO signals across StarHub's retail presence, including citations, directory listings, and Google Business Profile accuracy.
• Track domain authority trends and referring domain growth as part of regular SEO reporting.

AI and GEO Visibility

• Collaborate with marcoms and product teams to ensure new pages are built with AI discoverability in mind from the start rather than retrofitted after launch.
• Monitor and grow StarHub's presence across AI-generated search surfaces including Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other emerging LLM-powered discovery channels.
• Build and maintain a structured AI visibility tracking programme covering citation rates, share of voice against key competitors, and content gaps where competitors appear instead.
• Develop schema and content strategies written specifically to be cited in AI responses, including entity-rich copy that answers consumer queries directly.
• Stay current on how major AI platforms crawl, index, and surface content, and translate that into practical changes to site structure, content format, and metadata.

Qualifications

Must Have

• 4 or more years in SEO, with direct ownership of technical SEO for a high-traffic site.
• Hands-on experience with platform migrations covering redirects, crawl validation, and post-launch monitoring.
• SEO experience with e-commerce or transactional sites, including product listing / detail pages, and the technical complexity that comes with large-scale catalogue URLs.
• Proficiency with Ahrefs, Google Search Console, and an enterprise crawl platform such as Botify or Screaming Frog.
• Comfortable generating schema markup in JSON-LD and deploying structured data at scale.
• Basic working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript sufficient to read source code, QA implementations, and write clear developer requirements.
• Familiarity with Adobe Experience Manager (6.3 & Cloud) and Adobe Analytics.
• Experience using AI tools productively in a content workflow, with strong editorial judgement to validate output.
• Demonstrated ability to run competitor and keyword research and translate findings into a clear strategy.

Strong Advantage

• Experience with JavaScript-rendered sites such as Vue.js, Nuxt.js, or React, and familiarity with the SEO risks they introduce.
• AEO and GEO exposure covering AI Overviews optimisation, structured content for AI citation, and AI visibility tracking.
• Background in telco, e-commerce, or a similarly complex multi-section site environment.
• Experience managing SEO across multiple site properties or domains simultaneously.
• Familiarity with Google Merchant Centre and an understanding of how product feeds, structured data, and free listings interact with organic search.
