  • Independently lead complex technical audits, diagnosing issues related to crawling, indexing, and site architecture
  • Manage on-page optimisations and visibility workstreams across traditional search and emerging discovery platforms
  • Monitor the daily news agenda to identify newsjacking and reactive PR opportunities, executing high-quality outreach including media list building and drafting persuasive pitches for international and local outlets
  • Maintain a proactive, client-first understanding of clients' businesses, industries, competitors, and relevant world news

  • Own the tracking of all Digital PR and SEO activity, ensuring the wider team has full visibility of results against set KPIs at all times
  • Assist in preparing client reports that translate technical data and media wins into clear business outcomes, focused on revenue and risk
  • Stay up to date with industry trends and platform changes, reacting to these on relevant accounts
  • Demonstrate strong innovation and a curious mindset across clients, sharing learnings with the wider team
Collaborative Delivery
  • Partner closely with the Digital Experience Manager/Director on Tier 1 accounts to ensure tactical execution aligns with the high-level strategic vision

  • Proactively seek to grow knowledge and develop professionally, acting on feedback from managers and other team members
  • Consistently deliver high-quality results by effectively prioritising workloads and meeting deadlines with minimal managerial oversight

  • A sharp eye for the news agenda and the judgement to spot and act on reactive PR opportunities quickly

  • A proactive, low-supervision working style, with strong ownership of timelines and quality
  • Genuine curiosity about AI, automation, and emerging discovery platforms, balanced with critical judgement on quality
