Job Description
THE ROLE
Picture this. You start work every morning smiling and excited for what’s ahead. You choose what time you start and what you’ll work on. You go home (or move into the next room at home) feeling fulfilled and like you’re making a difference as part of a team that truly values your input.
That’s what we aim for every day at SEO Travel.
You’ll be charged with liaising with clients, implementing SEO actions and analysing client performance to consistently drive progress forward and deliver exceptional results.
This might be through making on page changes on client websites, doing keyword research to identify new opportunities or training clients to guide them on what needs doing.
We’re more than a marketing agency. We’re a group of highly skilled people looking to maximise those skills and help everyone in the team grow and develop. We spend a lot of our time helping clients get more visible and make more sales, but we also work on our own internal projects to stretch our creative muscles and create alternative revenue streams.
You’ll be trusted with freedom and given the responsibility to perform to the best of your ability. But you’ll also be given support whenever needed to help guide you on the path you want to go down and keep developing your craft.
We give all the profit we make to educational charities, so the work you do makes a real difference. The better the work we do together, the more impact we can make for people who really need that support.
We’re in an exciting period of growth where we want to invest in the team and the business, and we can’t wait to get like-minded people on board to join us on the journey.
If that’s the kind of environment that floats your boat then read on…
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You know a bit about us – here’s what we’d be looking for from you. Don’t take this as a box-ticking exercise where you need to fit everything, rather a guide on the things we’d love to have which we can use as a foundation to build on together :)
* Technical SEO mastery.
* Exceptional communication skills to engage with clients and internally.
* A strategic thinker.
* High-level analytical skills (and ability in Google Analytics) with the ability to draw conclusions and implement actions proactively.
* Excel wizardry.
* A team player who is prepared to dig in and do the difficult things well.

* Good time management and the ability to communicate clearly.
* A self-starter who can get things done in a small team.

If you explore the SEO Travel website you’ll find more information about the kind of people we love in our team. :)
WHAT WE OFFER
In the same way that we value long relationships with clients, we also want our team to love being a part of what we’re doing and be in it for the long haul. Here are some reasons we believe we’re a great place to work and you’ll want to do just that:
* Flexible working. You decide your hours and we have a combination of working from home and in the office which the team works out together.
* Self-managed working. You’re in charge of what you do and when you do it (within the business needs of course!).
* Input in all company decisions. We’re not a top-down organisation, everyone (who wants to) gets involved when we’re discussing big company stuff.
* Everything you need to work safely at home. Mac, budget for a comfortable home working environment etc.
* Balance. We want to create great things and do amazing work, but we also want everyone to live great lives too.
* 25 days holiday + your birthday off.
* Wonderful Wednesdays - another 11 days off each year to recharge and explore hobbies.
* 4 charity days each year to support both our chosen charities and those close to your own heart.
* Company health (medical, dental) insurance plans after 3 months of full-time employment.
* Annual bonus based on company profit.
* £30-40k salary depending on skills and experience.
We assess people on their skills and fit for the team, not just CV and experience, so we’d love to get applications from anyone who believes they fit the bill from the details above. You might be a superstar fresh from your first digital role working in-house or have many years of experience at agencies. Either of those people could be right for this role if they’re the best fit for the team and can show they do great work.
