SEO Specialist

This is not a traditional SEO position. While SEO is at the core of what you’ll do, you’ll also play a key role in shaping how we use Word Press, automation, and AI tools to improve performance, efficiency, and innovation across our projects.

You’ll be working at the intersection of SEO, web platforms, and emerging AI technologies, helping us build smarter systems — not just optimise pages.

Importantly, you’ll be working on websites targeting multiple languages. You do not need to speak these languages, but you should be comfortable applying SEO best practices across different markets using tools, data, and structured processes.

• Manage and optimise Word Press websites, including themes, plugins, and overall site performance.
• Work hands-on with plugin configuration, troubleshooting, and enhancements.

• Use AI tools (e.g. Claude and similar platforms) to streamline workflows, generate ideas, and improve efficiency.

• Stay up to date with emerging technologies and proactively suggest new ways to improve how we work.

• Proficiency with Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and SEO tools like SEMrush.
• Intermediate-level Word Press knowledge across content management, plugins, and site structure.
• Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS.
• Comfortable working with AI tools and exploring automation opportunities.
• Strong analytical mindset and ability to communicate insights clearly.

Someone who:

• Thinks beyond traditional SEO
• Is comfortable working across different languages and markets using data and tools
• Enjoys working with both technical systems and creative strategy
• Is curious about AI and automation, and wants to apply it in real-world projects
• Can manage multiple websites and continuously improve performance
