SEO Specialist

A growing online marketplace is looking for an experienced SEO Specialist to take full ownership of its search engine optimization strategy.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable improving technical SEO, developing content strategies, and building authority through off-page SEO. You'll be responsible for identifying opportunities, creating a long-term growth plan, and executing it with minimal supervision.

Your Primary Focus

Rather than following a predefined checklist, you'll be expected to evaluate the website, identify what is limiting organic growth, prioritize improvements, and implement strategies that increase rankings, traffic, and visibility.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Perform ongoing technical SEO audits and resolve issues affecting indexing, crawlability, site speed, schema, URLs, security, and overall site health
• Develop and execute on-page SEO strategies across existing and new pages
• Conduct keyword research and identify opportunities for organic growth
• Write and publish SEO-focused blog articles and website content
• Develop and execute off-page SEO campaigns, including high-quality link building and guest posting
• Research SEO strategies specific to marketplace websites and apply best practices
• Monitor rankings, traffic, and technical performance using SEO tools
• Identify website bugs or usability issues and report them with clear documentation
• Recommend new SEO initiatives based on data, competitor research, and industry trends

You'll Be Successful If You

• Can independently develop SEO strategies instead of simply completing assigned tasks
• Enjoy solving technical and ranking challenges
• Stay current with search engine updates and evolving SEO best practices
• Communicate clearly and explain the reasoning behind your recommendations
• Take ownership of long-term organic growth

• Ability to work independently and prioritize projects effectively

Preferred Experience
