We’re not looking for writers who just know how to follow an SEO checklist and use keywords in their blog posts.

To be a fit, you’ve likely done work as an SEO consultant and/or held an SEO-specific role as part of an agency or in-house team.

This individual should be able to articulate complex SEO concepts in an accessible manner, catering to both beginners and seasoned professionals in the field.

They are up-to-date with the latest trends, algorithm changes, and best practices in SEO, and are capable of creating content that goes beyond basic keyword optimization.

We need a content marketer who brings a trifecta of skills and experience:

  1. Mind-blowing content writer

  3. Kick-ass communicator and collaborator
