About the Role
The role is approximately 60% SEO and 40% hands-on React/Next.js development. You will be responsible for both driving organic growth and independently developing, updating and publishing website pages. Strong practical coding experience is essential, as you must be able to implement website changes yourself rather than relying on developers.
This is a hands-on role: you will implement SEO changes yourself in code (Next.js, React, JavaScript/TypeScript), not just recommend them to developers. It also covers content marketing, analytics and tracking, managing multiple websites, and publishing changes quickly, often the same day. Healthcare/YMYL experience is a strong advantage.
You will use Claude and other AI tools extensively to automate repetitive SEO and marketing work. The role suits a flexible, creative problem-solver who is comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
