The Role

This is a career-defining opportunity for an operator who understands the full stack of content-driven SEO: from data and discovery to production, QA, and performance optimization across blog, YouTube, and podcast content.

What You’ll Be Driving

Strategic Content Ownership (30%)

1. Create 6+ high-quality SEO briefs weekly, grounded in keyword data, trends, AI tools, and community feedback

3. Focus on information gain and editorial structure in the age of AI Overviews

SEO Execution (40%)

1. Run audits, refresh pages, and implement optimizations directly in WordPress
2. Own internal linking, metadata, keyword targeting, and content structure—hands-on, not just theoretical
3. Push content quality toward industry benchmark levels with editorial and SEO alignment

Cross-Functional QA & Collaboration (20%)

1. Coordinate with developers, designers, and editors to publish polished, SEO-ready content
2. Own QA across clarity, tone, structure, and search performance before content goes live

Video, Podcast & Channel Optimization (New Focus)

1. Support YouTube strategy: SEO for titles, thumbnails, metadata, scripts, and retention
2. Optimize podcast content for discoverability and long-tail visibility
3. Help script and package visual-first content for short- and long-form platforms

Insight-Driven Reporting & Innovation (10%)

1. Use GA4, GSC, and Looker to report on performance and steer editorial direction

3. Question traditional SEO “rules”—and help create smarter, modern frameworks

Requirements

1. Bring 4+ years of experience in SEO content management—agency, SaaS, publisher, or strategic consulting

3. Can write, brief, or edit at a high editorial standard—without fluff
4. Are curious about AI’s role in content, and aren’t afraid to experiment

3. Collaborative, outcomes-driven, and built for high-performers who hate micromanagement
