SEO Testing Analyst

Do you want to learn more about what works in SEO and what doesn’t?

Would you like to work with Enterprise customers who value your insights?

Are you aiming to build a career in consulting?

Importantly, are you based in the UK?

If so, Search Pilot may have the right opportunity for you!

Search Pilot is seeking a smart, motivated, and passionate consultant to join our Professional Services team in the UK. This role will be worked remotely, but with the expectation of working in person with other team members once a month in London. The Search Pilot platform enables our customers to run SEO A/B tests, make agile changes to their websites, and discover the true SEO and CRO impact of those changes.

Before spinning out as an independent company, Search Pilot was developed by Distilled and was known as the Distilled Optimisation Delivery Network (ODN). We power the websites of some of the largest global brands and Fortune 500 companies.

As an SEO analyst, you will work closely with our expanding Professional Services (PS) team. Day-to-day, this involves supporting PS team members as they:

• Manage the customer relationship, including onboarding of new customers
• Keep customers updated on test planning and results
• Come up with SEO test hypotheses, and work with customers to prioritise them
• Use the Search Pilot testing platform to implement changes to customers’ websites and set up tests
• Monitor and analyse split test outcomes
• Communicate the results of tests via regular customer meetings and written reports

You will also have opportunities to build your personal brand by sharing insights from split testing to Search Pilot’s audience and the larger SEO community via public case studies and blog posts. We have a strong culture of learning and knowledge sharing within Search Pilot, and you will have opportunities to learn from and teach your colleagues, as well as grow your visibility in the wider industry.

Running Search Pilot customer accounts is an exceptional way to learn more about what works and what doesn’t in SEO - there are very few other ways to get access to the range of scientific SEO tests that we get to run and see across a wide range of sites in different industries.

The nature of our product means that our customers value the work we do and can prove its value to their bosses and organisation. This role is likely to suit someone who wants to work in SEO and/or consulting. It is expected that this position ultimately leads to a promotion to consultant, where you would be responsible for running your own accounts.

As this is an entry-level position, some training will be provided, and no formal qualifications are required. What’s most important is that you are passionate and driven; however, we expect candidates to demonstrate clear technical aptitude and a solid foundational knowledge of SEO. We would be particularly interested in candidates with any of the following skills:

• Professional experience working in SEO, especially in technical SEO
• Familiarity with web analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics
• Ability to work with data
• Understanding of HTML/CSS
• Comfortable with Python or pivot tables and VLOOKUP formulas in Excel / Google Sheets
• Consulting experience
• Experience with programming languages, especially Java Script
• Knowledge of regular expressions
• Any web development experience, like building your own website or blog

We would expect all analysts to demonstrate:

• Technical aptitude - you are comfortable working with data, and you have a good understanding of how web pages work
• Project management skills - including being able to set and achieve deadlines
• Communication skills - you can explain complicated concepts in an understandable way
• Ability to work in a team - including delegating tasks and being delegated to
• Self‑motivation & ownership - you can plan your own time and stay on top of your priorities
• Attention to detail

To apply for this role, please complete the form below.

We anticipate that the interview process will include a short qualification call, followed by two remote video interviews with different team members, and a technical test.
