About Nizmara
Nizmara is an executive search and recruitment consultancy supporting companies across Turkey, Europe and the Middle East. We combine business experience, sector expertise and structured market research to help clients make critical leadership and hiring decisions.
We are looking for an experienced professional to take full ownership of our SEO, English-language content and WordPress operations.
The Role
You will manage our organic growth activities from strategy through implementation, replacing the need for a separate SEO agency.
This is a hands‑on ownership role. You will identify opportunities, set priorities, produce content, implement improvements and measure results. Working directly with our founding partners, you will turn limited strategic input into completed work with minimal day‑to‑day supervision.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
SEO Strategy & Organic Growth
- Own the SEO strategy, roadmap and execution across our target markets.
- Conduct keyword research, search intent analysis and competitor research.
- Map keywords to pages, develop content clusters and prevent keyword cannibalization.
- Optimize service, industry, regional and editorial pages.
- Manage titles, meta descriptions, headings, URLs, internal links and image optimization.
- Identify relevant digital PR, backlink and authority‑building opportunities; manage outreach and evaluate link quality.
- Monitor search developments and assess opportunities across traditional and AI‑powered search.
Technical SEO
- Conduct regular technical audits and implement fixes.
- Manage crawlability, indexation, robots directives, XML sitemaps and canonical tags.
- Identify and resolve broken links, redirect chains, duplicate content and crawl errors.
- Implement and validate structured data.
- Assess and improve mobile usability, page speed and Core Web Vitals.
- Manage SEO requirements during URL changes, redesigns and migrations.
- Monitor Google Search Console issues and investigate changes in organic performance.
- Resolve issues directly where possible and own specialist coordination through completion when development or hosting support is required.
- Develop and maintain an editorial calendar aligned with commercial priorities.
- Research, write and edit English‑language service pages, articles, guides and other relevant content.
- Create content for CEOs, CHROs, boards and hiring decision‑makers.
- Turn short conversations with our founding partners into original, useful content that reflects Nizmara’s experience.
- Maintain a clear, credible brand voice while balancing search visibility with readability.
- Use LLM tools effectively for research, drafting and editing, with full responsibility for factual accuracy, originality and final quality.
- Publish, format, interlink and maintain content in WordPress.
WordPress Operations & Website Management
- Own routine WordPress administration and website maintenance.
- Work confidently with page builders, themes, plugins and SEO tools.
- Create and update pages, templates, navigation, forms and media.
- Manage updates, backups, staging checks and rollback procedures.
- Diagnose plugin conflicts, layout issues and common website errors.
- Manage caching and image optimization, coordinating with hosting support where necessary.
- Check desktop and mobile layouts, forms and conversion journeys after changes.
- Maintain appropriate access controls and follow safe deployment practices.
Analytics, Reporting & Delivery
- Maintain GA4, Google Search Console and conversion tracking.
- Track relevant organic traffic, qualified enquiries and commercial outcomes.
- Maintain a prioritized backlog and clear delivery schedule.
- Report completed work, performance, issues and next steps concisely.
- Proactively identify and resolve problems without repeated follow‑up from the founders.
What We Are Looking For
- Proven experience independently managing SEO projects from strategy to implementation.
- Strong technical SEO expertise, supported by examples of issues you have diagnosed and resolved.
- Excellent English writing and editing skills.
- Practical WordPress administration and troubleshooting experience.
- Working knowledge of HTML and CSS, with the ability to make straightforward website adjustments.
- Proficiency with GA4, Google Search Console, a crawling tool such as Screaming Frog, and a research platform such as Ahrefs or Semrush.
- Experience building credible links and authority through relevant outreach.
- Sound judgment when using AI tools and evaluating their outputs.
- Strong prioritization, documentation and quality control skills.
- Preferably, experience with B2B services, professional services or international English‑language websites.
What Success Looks Like
Within the first 90 days, you will have:
- Established a verified baseline and prioritized SEO roadmap.
- Addressed critical technical and WordPress issues.
- Improved priority commercial pages.
- Established a consistent content research, production and publishing process.
- Verified measurement of qualified website enquiries.
- Created a reliable working rhythm that requires limited founder involvement.
We value clear judgment, consistent delivery, measurable progress and ownership.
