About the Role

We're on the hunt for a sharp, tenacious Link Building Specialist who gets that one great placement beats a dozen mediocre ones. This isn't a role where you just chase links - you'll be forging real relationships and landing placements that move the needle on traffic and revenue. Expect to spend your time on the strategies that actually work: sizing up the competition, securing targeted link inserts, teaming up on content, and growing a network of publishers.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Running outreach campaigns start to finish - spotting the right targets, tracking down contacts, and crafting pitches that land
  • Digging into competitors' backlink profiles (Ahrefs, SEMrush, etc.) to uncover opportunities worth replicating
  • Cultivating a roster of publishers, link partners, bloggers etc negotiating terms and keeping those relationships warm for future work
  • Vetting every link and mention against our quality bar (DR thresholds, organic traffic, topical relevance)
  • Keeping tabs on live links and pulling together weekly/monthly performance and ROI reports

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years' hands-on experience in link building or digital PR
  • Comfortable working across Ahrefs (or SEMrush), a link-building platform such as Pitchbox, outreach software, and PR tools like Muck Rack or HARO
  • Excellent written English - you can craft a subject line people open and a pitch that earns a yes
  • Thick skin - you treat "no" as part of the process and know the real wins often come from the follow-up

Nice to Have

  • Hands-on Pitchbox experience
  • A knack for valuing links and pricing placements
  • Familiarity with digital PR tactics like newsjacking and HARO
  • Enough HTML/WordPress know-how to get a guest post live yourself
