You'll be responsible for helping shape the strategy and performance of our US assets, working across SEO, content, affiliate, product, data, and commercial teams.

This role is ideal for someone who has foundational and current knowledge in SEO and content, has grown into a broader leadership role, but still enjoys staying close to the work and can confidently guide teams on priorities, techniques, and opportunities.

Content is abundant and cheaper than ever to produce. AI has lowered the barrier to producing work that is perfectly adequate. But adequate is not good enough, because everybody can easily do it.

We want to set a new standard for exceptional content. Here at Better Collective, we create non-commodity content that only our brands could publish.

  • Established US brands, including Action Network and VegasInsider.

  • Strong Product, Development, Data and Analytics teams to help turn strategy into execution.

  • Data and analytics infrastructure to prove what is working.

  • A leadership team that wants to achieve growth and change.

What you'll do
  • Lead the SEO and content strategy across our US affiliation assets, setting direction for the teams while staying close enough to the work to challenge priorities, guide execution, and identify opportunities.

  • Confidently guide teams on SEO priorities, techniques, and opportunities, including technical SEO, content optimization, site architecture, and emerging search trends, while remaining hands-on when needed.

  • Raise the quality bar for content and help teams create differentiated, non-commodity content that performs for users, search engines, and AI-driven experiences.

  • Define and champion AI and new search best practices, ensuring teams move beyond experimentation into practical adoption.

  • Work closely with SEO, Digital PR, Data, Product, Development, and Commercial teams to maximize the performance of our assets.

  • Connect SEO, content, audience growth, and affiliate performance to drive sustainable revenue growth. Identify growth opportunities and help prioritize initiatives based on business impact.

  • Guide on budget and commercial planning and help improve the overall performance of the North American business.

What we're looking for
  • Experience within sports betting, iGaming, casino, or affiliate businesses.

  • Strong and recent hands-on SEO experience, with the ability to confidently challenge priorities, guide teams, and make strategic decisions based on search performance.

  • Deep understanding of content strategy, organic growth, and audience development.

  • A strong background in content/editorial environments and a genuine passion for creating high-quality, differentiated content.

  • Demonstrated leadership experience, including leading teams and working cross-functionally across content, product, data, development, and commercial functions.

  • A strong commercial mindset and experience connecting SEO, content, and audience growth to revenue and business performance.

  • Up-to-date understanding of how AI, AEO/GEO, and changing search behavior are affecting content discovery and organic growth.

  • Someone who can operate strategically while still being comfortable getting into the details when needed.

  • Experience with budgets, commercial planning, or P&L.
