· Collaborate with dev, UX, content, and analytics teams to implement SEO best practices.
· Analyze and create a search performance report.
· Leverage AI tools to automate tasks: new business initiatives, content prompting, schema generation, performance forecasting.
· Participate in CRO and A/B testing to improve site experience and conversion.
· Stay ahead of search algorithm updates and evolving search experience platforms
Tools You’ll Use
· SEO & Analytics: GA4, Google Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, SurferSEO
· AI & Automation: ChatGPT / Gemini (prompting), BrightEdge, Jasper, Looker Studio, Python (bonus)

· Fluent in English written and oral
· 5+ years of SEO & Search experience in agency or high-growth digital environments
· Deep knowledge of technical SEO, content architecture, and local search
· Experience preparing sites for AI-era search (SGE, Copilot, Perplexity, etc.)
· Understanding of structured data, conversational search, and entity optimization
· Comfortable with HTML, schema markup, and CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify, etc.)
· Strong analytical mindset with fluency in interpreting data + presenting insights
· Excellent communication skills — clear, concise, and client-facing
· Self-starter who thrives in collaboration and ambiguity
· Bonus: Experience with international SEO or JavaScript-heavy environments
