THE OPPORTUNITY: SEO SPECIALIST

We are in need of a clever, data-driven, growth-minded SEO Specialist as we continue to expand a best-in-class portfolio of media properties. You’re a strategist and a doer — you love to plan and then carry those plans out yourself. If you’re fluent in optimizing sites for SEO, proactively driving traffic, hacking the Google algorithm to rank as Position 0, testing, competitive analysis, and are generally obsessed with winning on the internet, we want to meet you.

Specifically…

In our ongoing effort to reach as many people on the Internet as possible with our evocative content, Brainjolt is always looking for the right specialist to introduce us to new audiences and grow our user base by developing and executing a world-class SEO ground game. Strategist and tactician, this person is able to see the 30,000-foot view as well as jump into GA and GDS to build reports and lead from the front with data. Your day-to-day is beating yesterday and constantly pivoting the team to find new successes.

The core mission of the SEO Specialist is to be responsible for identifying and executing opportunities to drive direct traffic to our sites and improve our brands’ search rankings. You will manage and grow organic search channels, create and implement strategic plans to increase traffic, and support content creation and management on the Brands team. This role requires deep search engine optimization knowledge as well as a desire to get into the weeds to optimize what currently exists.

Ownership: Holistically manage SEO at Brainjolt.
Impatience: Constantly challenge the status quo with a sense of extreme urgency.
Execute: Do whatever it takes to #beatyesterday, and setup success for tomorrow.
Data: It goes without saying that everything you do is data-driven.
Technical: You understand the technical aspects of SEO and can communicate with engineers.
Land & Expand: Develop proof of concepts for new ways to expand the SEO channel, profitably.
Get stuff done: Get the right things done. Build the roadmap, then execute the hell out of it.
Communicate: ensure everyone is pulsing on the plan, and you’re communicating up, down, and across the organization.
Final request… don’t be boring. Let’s build the most interesting things, together!
