Growth Marketing Lead-SEO Specialist Full Time

You are:

• An SEO nerd – you have an expert level of SEO knowledge including best practice and new innovation to effectively improve business outcomes. You have a deep understanding of on-page SEO supported by experience with technical and off-page SEO too. You have the ability to report on organic performance including leading and lagging indicators to show how SEO is delivering against commercial objectives.

• Highly analytical – you can use data to optimise existing activity, and find data to support driving new activity that will support organic growth.
• Fast paced – you’re used to working in fast paced environments (likely to be either an agency or start up / scale up), so you have the confidence to prioritise and plan quickly and independently.
• You thrive off learning new stuff – you adapt, learn and grow. You take feedback well, and you’re always iterating on your work and yourself. You believe that a change is as good as a rest.
• Hands on – while you will be part of a small team, there’s a lot of execution to do, so you’ll need to be a do-er, and enjoy getting stuck in.

There are some things you need to have to crack this job:

• Knowledge of Google Suite tools – you need to have extensive experience using Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Some of our reporting uses Google Looker so understanding of data visualisation will be useful.
• Experience with SEO tools – you need to be familiar with ahrefs or equivalent third-party SEO tools (eg. SEMrush or SurferSEO).
• Excel/Google Sheets –  you need to be comfortable working with spreadsheets.

• Timing: we’d like to have the right person join the team ASAP, but we will wait for the right person.
• Flexibility: the role can be done flexibly. It can also be part-time on 4 days per week, although in that case, you are likely to need to have highly relevant experience as you’ll have less time to learn things from scratch. We welcome parents and would love to discuss any other working arrangements that make it possible for you to be part of our team.

• Salary & equity package: The salary for this role is £50,000-£70,000 (dependent on experience), alongside this you will also get an incredibly generous equity package. It’s important to us that you own part of the business you are responsible for growing.
• Holiday: 25 days paid holiday (plus bank holidays) – these will both be prorated if you work part-time. Sometimes people need to take unpaid leave, and we do our best to make that happen.
• Perks of the job: For any parents thinking of applying – we also offer 50% off Koru Kids childcare (up to a value of £7,000 per year).
• Location: We are ‘remote first’, with access to an office each week and regular ‘in person’ days. You can do this role from anywhere in the UK and earn the same salary as you would if you were in London (where our office is based). We welcome applications from people living outside London. Outside the UK is more complicated as it has tax and other implications, so we are unlikely to hire someone living outside the UK.
• Option to work abroad: If you want to extend the time spent at a holiday destination for a short period of time and work from abroad, you can work from anywhere that allows you to, so long as you can work at a similar time to the rest of your team. Of course, you must be and remain a UK taxpayer. Important that you do all the groundwork on the tax and immigration laws to make sure that you can of course.
• Regular socials: monthly team days and socials, with travel expenses and overnight stay if you need it.
• Office set up: Generous contribution towards your home office set up, and laptop (Mac or Windows).

It’s really important to us to find the very best people we possibly can for our team, regardless of their background, and to be transparent. These are important values to us, and that’s why we have designed the process the way we have. We do not ask for CVs or cover letters upfront. Instead, we ask some simple screening questions which are separated from your name and double-marked blind, in order to reduce potential unconscious bias. Here’s some more info on the process for this role:

• Application questions

• Role fit interview with our Growth Marketing Lead, Michelle – 15 mins
• Case interview with one of our GMs Josh (no prep required) – 30 mins
