You will be responsible for identifying high-value link opportunities, evaluating publisher quality, monitoring campaign performance, and ensuring that acquired links contribute to measurable SEO growth.

This is a role for someone who understands that successful link acquisition is about far more than volume. You have a strong understanding of relevance, authority, risk assessment, and long-term SEO value, and you are comfortable making decisions based on data rather than assumptions.

You will work closely with internal stakeholders to align link acquisition efforts with broader SEO and marketing objectives while continuously identifying opportunities to improve campaign performance and return on investment.

• Assess domain quality, topical relevance, authority metrics, and traffic potential

• Develop and refine link acquisition strategies based on client objectives
• Monitor backlink performance and contribute recommendations for optimization
• Ensure timely activation, indexation, and quality control of acquired links
• Maintain accurate documentation and campaign reporting
• Collaborate with internal teams to align link-building activities with overall SEO strategy
• Build and maintain relationships with publishers and external partners where required
• Stay up to date with SEO trends, search engine developments, and industry best practices

Requirements

• Previous experience working with link building, link acquisition, or off-page SEO
• Strong understanding of backlink quality signals and SEO performance metrics
• Experience using SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, Majestic, or similar platforms
• Ability to evaluate domains based on metrics such as DR, DA, traffic, relevance, and link profile quality
• Strong analytical mindset and confidence working with performance data
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Professional communication skills, both written and verbal
• Comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment
• Experience from an SEO agency, affiliate marketing, iGaming, SaaS, or digital marketing environment is considered highly advantageous

What You'll Bring

The ideal candidate combines technical SEO knowledge with commercial thinking. You understand how backlinks contribute to organic growth, can identify valuable opportunities quickly, and are able to prioritize activities that generate measurable results.

You are detail-oriented, data-driven, and comfortable taking ownership of your work while collaborating effectively with colleagues across different functions.
