Headquarters: Brighton, UK

Are you “the one”?
We're looking for a Junior SEO Specialist to join our growth team. You’ll work directly with the Growth Manager and help with everything SEO related, from keyword research and internal linking to technical SEO, content planning and link building.This is a junior role, but not a trainee position. You should already understand the basics, know your way around the usual SEO tools and be ready to work on a real website.You will not be expected to know everything. You will be expected to learn as much as possible and figure things out.
What does the job look like?
The role covers most areas of SEO, including:

Researching keywords and identifying new opportunities
Reviewing existing pages and recommending improvements
Finding and implementing internal linking opportunities
Creating content briefs and proposing new pages
Monitoring rankings, traffic and organic conversions
Using Google Search Console to investigate performance and indexing
Crawling the website with Screaming Frog
Using Ahrefs for keyword, competitor, content and backlink research
Finding and qualifying link building prospects
Running outreach campaigns and following up with contacts
Tracking new links and reporting on campaign performance
Identifying common technical SEO issues
Creating and checking structured data
Improving page titles, descriptions, headings and on-page content
Helping us track GEO, AIO and AI search visibility

You will not do every one of these things every day, and you will not be the only one on the team. Don’t have experience with all of these? Don’t worry.
Some weeks will be more focused on content. Others might involve technical checks, outreach or improving pages that are already performing well.
What we’re looking for
You should already understand:

The basics of technical, on-page and off-page SEO
How to do keyword research
How to assess search intent
How internal linking works
The basics of link building and outreach
How to use Google Search Console
How to use the main reports in Ahrefs
How to crawl and inspect a website with Screaming Frog
What schema and structured data are
How to use AI tools to work faster without trusting everything they produce

You do not need to be an expert in every area.
We are looking for someone who understands the fundamentals, can follow a process and is willing to figure stuff out when they don’t immediately understand them.
You should also be comfortable working independently. You will get direction and feedback and someone will always be there for you. But we are not interested in micro management.
Nice to have
It would be useful if you have experience with any of the following:

SaaS SEO
WordPress or another CMS
Basic HTML
Writing content briefs
Link building outreach
SEO reporting and analytics
GEO, AIO or optimisation for AI search tools

Experience with GEO or AIO is welcome, but not required.
Nobody has ten years of GEO experience. A genuine interest in learning about it is enough.

Our AI policy
We don’t hate AI, but we NEVER use AI tools to produce customer facing content. Our customer support is not AI based, you always have a live person to talk to. Our articles are not AI written slop, but real opinions and expertise of real people. We want it to stay that way.Using AI tools for keyword research, data analytics and process improvements is cool. Posting what ChatGPT spits out and passing it as a blog article is a fireable offence!
Next steps Assuming everything goes well, here’s how our hiring process goes: 

You apply 
We have an initial interview

In special cases we might have a quick 3rd call to clarify a few things, but mostly not. 
We offer you the job 
You’re expected to accept it within 1 business day.
