Turn insights into results: Use data, competitive intelligence and experimentation to uncover opportunities, prioritize investments and demonstrate measurable impact.
Lead from the front: Take ownership of complex initiatives from strategy through execution, testing and optimization, working closely with Product, Engineering and Content.
Elevate the team: Share expertise, coach others and encourage a culture of curiosity, experimentation and continuous improvement.
What You'll Bring
Extensive SEO experience, working with large, complex, or content-heavy websites in highly competitive markets.
A proven track record of delivering measurable organic growth, with clear examples of projects you've personally led and the results achieved.
Strong technical SEO fundamentals, including site architecture, crawling, indexation, on-page optimization and performance analysis.
Experience using SEO tools and data to uncover opportunities, diagnose issues and inform decisions.
A naturally curious, self-driven mindset with a genuine interest in experimenting, building and testing new approaches.
Knowledge of emerging AI search trends (AIO/AEO), with some practical experience exploring or testing opportunities in this space.
Experience influencing stakeholders, sharing expertise and coaching others, with the confidence to challenge existing thinking.

Experience in sports betting, iGaming, affiliate marketing or digital publishing.
Experience leading small teams or mentoring SEO professionals.
