About The Role
Wing Assistant is looking for a driven, detail-oriented Junior Link Building & Affiliate Specialist to strengthen our off-page SEO footprint and grow our affiliate program.
This is a hands-on outreach role focused on earning high-quality backlinks and citations from relevant, authoritative sources, and on recruiting and supporting affiliate partners who promote Wing Assistant.
You will spend most of your time identifying link and citation opportunities, running personalized outreach campaigns, and building relationships with publishers, bloggers, directories, review sites, and affiliate partners.
It's an ideal role for someone early in their SEO or digital marketing career who wants to specialize in off-page SEO, digital PR, and affiliate marketing within a fast-growing company.
Responsibilities
Link Building & Citations
- Research and build prospect lists of relevant, authoritative websites, blogs, directories, review platforms, and industry publications for backlink and citation opportunities.
- Execute personalized outreach (email and social) to secure backlinks, guest posts, citations, unlinked-mention conversions, and business/directory listings.
- Manage all important citation sources (business directories, industry listings, review sites, aggregators) to ensure consistent and accurate NAP (Name, Address, Phone) and brand information.
- Identify guest posting, resource page, broken-link, and digital PR opportunities that align with Wing Assistant's audience and content.
- Track outreach status, follow-ups, response rates, and won links in a CRM or tracking sheet.
