About the role

We’ve made great progress building an audience of over 10 million students annually, largely through SEO, but we’re a long way from being finished.

We want to cement our position in our current key markets (Australia, NZ, PH and ID) and build a meaningful presence in a number of new markets.

We are looking for an accomplished SEO leader to consolidate the work we’ve done, add their own strategies and lead us through an exciting phase of growth in new markets.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Strategic Leadership: Develop and implement a comprehensive SEO strategy aligned with organizational objectives, leveraging industry best practices and emerging trends.
• Team Management: Recruit, mentor, and manage a team of SEO analysts, fostering a culture of experimentation, innovation and well documented processes.
• Content Strategy: Oversee the creation, review, and publication of high-quality content produced by freelance writers, ensuring alignment with SEO objectives and audience needs.
• Backlinking Strategy: Oversee the running of effective backlink acquisition strategies at scale.
• Product Management: Define requirements for new programmatic or other SEO features and collaborate with in-house engineers to get them built.
• Analytics and Reporting: Utilize data-driven insights to monitor SEO performance, identify areas for improvement, and communicate key metrics and trends to stakeholders.
• Process and Scale: Think beyond one-time wins. Create processes that can be scaled for long-term growth. You’ll need to think strategically and execute methodically.
• Internal collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with other functions like product, marketing, and engineering. Make sure strategies align for maximum impact.

About you

The ideal candidate should be an undisputed SEO thought leader with an impressive track record of success. You should be able to develop, execute and measure long-term SEO strategies that drive significant results.

You should have an analytical mindset and be easily able to draw conclusions from data. You’ll also be the kind of person that thrives by building and nurturing a team of juniors to scale your impact.
