- Identify opportunities to improve lead conversion rates on high-traffic SEO pages (e.g. copy, layout, CTAs, user journey)
- Perform regular technical SEO audits and work with developers to address issues that impact performance
- Monitor and report on SEO performance using tools such as GA4, Google Search Console, Ahrefs, or SE Ranking
- Stay up to date with changes in search algorithms and AI-powered discovery trends (e.g. AIO, ChatGPT, Bing Chat)
- Conduct outreach and manage off-page strategies, including securing backlinks from high-authority or niche-relevant websites
Key Qualifications:
- Bachelor Degree in Marketing, Communications or related field
- 1-3 years of practical SEO experience, ideally in an in-house or agency environment
- Solid understanding of on-page, off-page, and technical SEO fundamentals

- Familiarity with CRO concepts and tools (e.g. A/B testing platforms, Hotjar, GTM)
- Demonstrated ability to identify SEO landing page improvements that lead to higher lead conversion or form fill rates
- Interest or working knowledge of emerging AI search behaviours (Google AIO, Bing AI, ChatGPT search)
- Experience using generative AI tools to support SEO or content tasks is a plus
- Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and cross-functionally
- A proactive, growth-oriented mindset with a willingness to learn and adapt
