• Develop strategies to improve visibility across traditional search engines and AI-powered search platforms.
• Develop organic LinkedIn and social posts to promote new articles, news, products and other relevant content.
• Monitor rankings, search performance and technical/on-page SEO health.
• Prepare clear, actionable SEO reports and recommendations.
• Identify emerging SEO and AEO trends and proactively recommend opportunities.
• Use AI tools to support research, analysis, content development and reporting.
• Work collaboratively on client SEO requirements while independently driving organic search growth for the internal e-commerce brand.

• Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals, including keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO, content strategy and performance analysis.
• Hands-on experience with Semrush is essential.
• Hands-on experience with Shopify is essential, particularly managing on-page SEO elements and product optimisation.
• Working knowledge of AEO (AI Engine Optimisation) and how AI-powered search is changing the way users discover information.
• Strong written English and the ability to turn SEO data into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Comfortable using AI tools to support research, reporting and content workflows.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple SEO priorities across client and internal projects.

Nice to Have:
