Junior SEO Consultant

We are looking for an SEO consultant with 1-2 years’ experience to join our team.

The ideal candidate is proactive, passionate about getting results for clients, and eager to stay at the forefront of digital marketing.

The role involves understanding a client’s goals, working with the wider team on creating a strategy to deliver results and then working to deliver on that strategy. You will be working alongside team members across our agency and we expect most team members to be able to work closely with clients too, so good communication skills are essential. Being able to translate SEO-geekery into plain English is a key element of this role.

  • Analysing SEO performance for clients
  • Undertaking SEO audits
  • Compiling SEO strategies, and translating these into project plans
  • Undertaking the tasks to achieve the strategies; including technical optimisation, off-page SEO and content optimisation.
  • Reporting on results, communicating with colleagues and clients about next steps and identifying new opportunities for clients
  • Structuring and managing your own workload, organising and prioritising tasks to deliver the best results for clients

Our ideal candidate will have:

  • 1-2 years’ experience in the field.
  • A well-rounded and practical understanding of all aspects of SEO including content optimisation, Technical SEO, Local & International SEO and off-page SEO (Digital PR).
  • A solutions-focused approach; identifying not just problems but solutions too whilst keeping commercial mindset
  • A strong interest in the ever-evolving world of digital marketing and an attitude of continuous learning
  • Experience of writing excellent copy
  • Experience of delivering significant uplifts to organic traffic and revenue for clients
  • Experience of using tools such as SemRush, Ahrefs and Screaming Frog
  • Fluent in using Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Search Console

While previous agency experience isn’t a must, an awareness of the particular nature of agency life would be helpful.
