  • Leverage a strong understanding of Google Analytics
  • Be a versatile team player who can tackle various projects and collaborate with all teams.
  • Be a constant student of SEO who is applying his or her learnings to their work and sharing knowledge with internal and client-facing teams.

    • Qualifications:

  • Strong understanding of cross-channel marketing principles

  • Advanced understanding of technical SEO concepts (crawling, indexing, rendering, AMP, site migrations, page speed optimization, core web vitals and more)
  • Strong project management and organization skills, ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects
  • Advanced understanding and experienced user of Google Analytics and Google Search Console - Tag Manager and/or Publisher Center is also a plus
  • Understand recent developments in SEO such as Core Web Vitals, Google Discover, E-A-T, new Rich Results and more
  • Intermediate to advanced knowledge of HTML, Javascript and CSS as they impact search performance
  • Strong knowledge and experience using standard and enterprise search tools and platforms ( SEMRush, Sistrix, DeepCrawl, Screaming Frog, SEMRush, GTMetrix, etc.)
  • The ability to meet scheduled and proposed deadlines.
  • Comfort with and mastery of (or ability to quickly learn) spreadsheet formats (Google Sheets, Excel).
