Senior Link Building & Outreach Specialist; Remote

Blue Tree Digital is expanding its SEO practice and needs a seasoned link-building professional who can own outreach programs end-to-end, mentor junior staff, and keep multiple client campaigns on schedule. You will work directly with our strategy team to set priorities, then execute efficiently to deliver measurable results.

Your day-to-day work revolves around acquiring high-quality backlinks that move the needle for our clients. After agreeing on targets, you’ll:

• Outreach & Relationship Management
  • Design and send targeted email sequences
  • Build rapport with publishers and negotiate placement terms
  • Track communication history so nothing slips through the cracks
• Prospecting & Quality Control
  • Use Ahrefs and similar suites to surface authoritative, niche-relevant sites
  • Screen prospects for spam signals, traffic trends, and topical fit
  • Maintain (and improve) our internal quality benchmarks
• Beyond execution, you’ll document refinements to our SOPs and coach junior link builders to ensure consistent performance across the team.

We’re looking for someone who can drop into a live pipeline and improve it from day one. That starts with a solid foundation:

• Experience: 3+ years running large-scale link campaigns—agency or in-house—where you handled rate negotiation, anchor strategy, and reporting.
• Technical Skill: Power-user level with Ahrefs. Deep familiarity with leading AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for prospecting, personalization, and data cleanup.
• Quality Focus: A keen eye for spam indicators and a track record of protecting client reputations while scaling volume—this is an essential part of the role.
• Communication & Autonomy: Clear written and verbal English, proactive in a remote, asynchronous environment.

Previous agency leadership, exposure to P&L, or familiarity with digital PR is a bonus but not required.

This is a long-term, project-based role with room to grow alongside the agency. We offer:

• Monthly pay: TBD (depending on experience). We are seeking Link Builders at all experience levels.
• A fully remote, flexible schedule—deliverables matter more than hours logged
• PTO and sick leave for full-time contributors
• A supportive team that values process improvements and results over buzzwords

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis; we’ll contact selected candidates directly.
