About the Role
This is an excellent opportunity to strengthen your client-facing and relationship-management skills while contributing to a variety of projects.

- Build strong client relationships through effective communication, meeting agendas, calls, and strategy discussions.
- Conduct comprehensive SEO audits, in-depth keyword research, backlink analysis, and deliver actionable recommendations.
- Monitor client websites and performance metrics, reporting findings and insights to the line manager and clients.
- Develop and present tailored SEO strategies and contribute to the formulation of long-term SEO roadmaps.
- Collaborate closely with marketing, content, development, and social media teams to ensure integrated delivery of SEO objectives.
- Maintain proficiency with essential SEO tools (e.g., SEMrush, Ahrefs, Majestic, Screaming Frog) to support recommendations and drive results.
- Stay up to date on SEO developments, trends, and best practices, sharing insights internally and externally through blogs and team sessions.
