About this position:

This is a hybrid position – future employees will be required to spend a part of the workweek in our office (though they may access as many days as they like). Our SEO team thrives from in-person collaboration, hands on training, and face-to-face project development and problem solving. This job will be demanding in the way of complexity, not hours (will be 8:30-5:00 with up to hour break during day).

We are looking for someone with a passion for SEO and being in an environment where they’d be focused on most aspects of ongoing, high-level SEO. Our company works in highly competitive industries and has had success providing results continuously over the past decade. You would be mentored and developed by veterans in the industry in an growth-oriented, forward-thinking collaborative environment.

The ideal candidate has 1-3 years of professional SEO experience. This position is a hybrid remote and in-person position that will be able to come into the office 2-3 days a week in Charlotte (with remainder of the week work-from-home). Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
