JOB PURPOSE

Joining this team means that you will become part of our EMEA SEO team that spans a number of offices across Europe. Our EMEA SEO team, which consists of 40+ specialists, empowers clients to develop and grow their online businesses through organic search in all its shapes and forms. You will go beyond simply executing SEO tasks; you will function as a strategic advisor to our clients by understanding their needs, challenging their goals, assessing feasibility and proposing hands-on solutions.

This role requires a strong foundation and interest in SEO (and GEO), along with solid execution skills and a results-oriented approach. The ideal candidate effectively applies existing knowledge to support the team in solving practical, less-defined tasks and must be capable of providing clear input to both colleagues and clients.

• Part of the position involves working on recurring tasks such as keyword research and content briefings that ensure stability for our clients and allow you to continuously develop your SEO skills
• We will provide you with everything you need to develop further as an SEO Consultant, combining structured training with the opportunity to work for renowned brands and on challenging SEO projects
