  • Understanding and optimising specific content/webpages with key engagement metrics at the core - for example traffic acquisition, conversion and organic search results, and providing practical solutions to increase across all areas in line with strategic objectives.
  • Working with our internal creative team to ideate and define specific content requests, goals, and opportunities. 
  • The successful candidate will be a confident speaker, with the ability to deliver concise and engaging presentations, showcasing work and reporting on key metrics.


About you:

  • Demonstrable experience and excellent working knowledge of producing and editing website content within a recognised CMS platform (i.e. Wordpress, Drupal, Expression Engine).
  • Highly proficient in planning, implementing and assessing marketing campaigns, projects, content types and initiatives.
  • A creative eye and attention to detail - transforming information and data sets into engaging content.
  • Structured and organised - with the ability to prioritise a variety of tasks in line with team needs.
  • The successful candidate will have experience in optimising content – including but not limited to – on-page SEO best practices (tags, meta images & descriptions, backlinks etc.) as well as an understanding of search intent and site visitor activity. A knowledge of technical SEO would be advantageous.
  • Knowledge of CRM marketing tools would be beneficial (Dot Digital, Mailchimp, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or equivalent).
  • Bachelor's Degree or similar experience in journalism or marketing
