We have a variety of clients and you could be looking at placing in excess of 200 guest posts per month.

The ideal candidate will be able to work autonomously and have experience writing in a similar role with an understanding of effective link building and outreach techniques.

We aren’t going to chain you to a cubicle. We’re not a FTSE 100 company and you won’t be some badge number in the corporate machine. We will want your input and insight.

However, due to the nature of the role, your hours would still need to coincide with the UK. So the hours would need to be between 7am and 7pm UK.

When you first start off, you will be training with our Head of Outreach for the first couple of weeks. This is to show you the ropes, and introduce you to your colleagues and relevant stakeholders.

So if you have a passion for all things digital and are willing to enhance your own knowledge by keeping up with the latest industry developments, we have a dedicated training budget to help supplement that further.
