• Work with content teams to brief, optimise, and improve content based on SEO best practices
• QA SEO changes before and after implementation to ensure accuracy and performance impact
• Identify issues and opportunities proactively, rather than only executing predefined tasks
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with SEO, Content, Development, and Performance teams

What We Are Looking For

• 2–4 years of hands‑on SEO experience
• Proven experience implementing SEO recommendations across content, on‑page, technical, and/or off‑page SEO
• Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals, including keyword research, search intent, internal linking, technical SEO, and content optimisation
• Experience using tools such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, or similar SEO platforms
• Ability to analyse SEO performance and turn insights into clear actions

• Analytical mindset
• Organised and able to manage multiple priorities across different stakeholders
• Proactive mindset

A BONUS IF YOU ALSO BRING

• Experience working in e‑commerce SEO
• Experience supporting SEO migrations, site launches, or larger technical SEO projects
• Familiarity with digital PR, link building, or off‑page SEO initiatives
• Experience working in regulated industries or markets with compliance considerations

How You Will Grow

• Deepen your SEO expertise in a high‑growth, performance‑driven e‑commerce environment
• Work closely with an experienced SEO Strategist and global SEO team
• Expand your experience across on‑page, technical, content, and off‑page SEO in a competitive market
