The posting

Brafton is one of the world's leading content marketing firms, with offices in Boston, London, Toronto and Sydney. We aspire to continually raise the bar on what people consider "marketing content."

The ideal candidate has previous agency experience, a passion for digital marketing, excellent problem-solving skills, very, very strong attention to detail, and a ton of curiosity about the ever-changing search landscape.

• Develop and execute strategies to improve brand visibility within Google’s AI Overviews (AIO) and generative search engines. • Optimise site architecture and content to be easily parsed by LLM crawlers, focusing on semantic density and clear entity relationships. • AI Performance Tracking: Utilise emerging tools and methods to monitor brand mentions and citations within generative search results. • 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:

• 3-5 years or more of experience contributing to or managing SEO programs, preferably in an agency setting

• Evidence of success with previous SEO campaigns for medium to large brands, ideally including ecommerce companies

• Strong understanding of cross-channel marketing principles

• Compelling written and verbal communication skills, a positive attitude and the ability to thrive in a collaborative and fast-paced environment

• Strong proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite: Word, PowerPoint, and especially Excel

• 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

• Develop and execute strategies to improve brand visibility within Google’s AI Overviews (AIO) and generative search engines. • Optimise site architecture and content to be easily parsed by LLM crawlers, focusing on semantic density and clear entity relationships. • AI Performance Tracking: Utilise emerging tools and methods to monitor brand mentions and citations within generative search results.

• 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 (Botify, Sitebulb, Conductor Searchlight, Stat, SEMRush, Sistrix, DeepCrawl, Screaming Frog, SEMRush, etc.)

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
