About Us

Times One Hundred is a fully remote marketing agency that turns sharp strategy into real world growth. Our campaigns have added tens of millions of pounds in revenue for a broad mix of clients, from platinum selling artists and bestselling authors to publishers, fintech, property firms, leisure and high-growth start-ups.

We keep things lean with fewer meetings, clearer comms and rapid experimentation that lets data lead the way. We're a small, close-knit team that likes to learn from one anotherand celebrate wins (big and small) on Slack. If you value bold goals, straight talk and work that makes a measurable impact, you’ll feel right at home here.

Description — what you’ll be doing

• Run end-to-end high-impact SEO - Keyword Universe build-outs, Gap and Competitor analyses, Technical SEO and Backlink audits—then translate findings into clear, high-impact roadmaps.
• Craft and execute content strategies that close keyword gaps and feature in results at all stages of the customer funnel.
• Lead technical optimisation (Core Web Vitals, crawl health, indexation, schema) and drive fixes across client dev, design, and content teams.
• Stay future-focused - track emerging Google features, AI search shifts, and SERP trends; pilot new tactics before they hit mainstream blogs.
• Present insights that spark action - build dashboards and narratives that make complex data instantly clear to clients and creatives.
• Measure what matters - own organic traffic, ranking, and conversion KPIs for a roster of clients and our own site.

• Bring 5 + years’ hands-on SEO experience (agency or multi-site).
• Can design and operate the full SEO toolkit : keyword research, competitor analysis, technical improvements, content strategy and link-building.
• Communicate complex ideas in plain English -equally at home with C-suite, devs, and designers.
• Track and test emerging SERP features - reading patents, testing beta features, and sharing learnings with the team.
• Master the core stack : GA4, Search Console, Semrush or Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Looker Studio and any emerging tools you love.
• Reside (and can legally work) anywhere in South Africa with reliable internet.
• Previous experience or background in Paid Media
• Shopify, Webflow, or headless CMS know-how.
• Ability to automate SEO tasks with Python or Google Sheets.

What you get

• Salary : R 35 000 - R 65 000 per month before taxes
• Medical Aid : We’ll contribute up to R 3 500 / month on top of your salary
