SEO Specialist – Build the Rankings. Own the Revenue. Leave a Legacy.

This isn't your typical SEO job. We're not looking for someone to update meta tags and beg for backlinks. We're looking for a ranking-obsessed growth animal — someone who treats organic traffic like a high-stakes battlefield. If you see search as the greatest compounding asset in growth… if you've dreamed of owning a category from SERP #1 down — this is your moment. The Mission We're CitizenShipper, a remote-first, US-based two-sided marketplace reinventing how people move their most precious cargo: pets (and other hard-to-ship items). Imagine Uber + Airbnb — but for families who need to get their dogs, cats, and rescues across the country. It's emotional. It's urgent. It's logistically wild. We connect desperate pet owners with a nationwide network of vetted drivers — and we do it better than anyone else. We're profitable. Lean. Growing fast. And SEO? It's not a side channel. It's a core engine. We already rank for thousands of high-intent terms… and that's with almost no one at the wheel. We're ready to dominate the SERPs — we just need the right killer behind the controls. The Role We're hiring an SEO Specialist who's part strategist, part technician, and 100% growth junkie. You'll own the entire organic acquisition machine — from technical audits and content roadmaps to link-building strategies and conversion experiments. This is a founder-style role with full ownership of one of our highest-leverage growth levers. You'll be expected to: • Scale traffic from thousands to millions • Out-rank, out-optimize, and outmaneuver every competitor • Turn pages into pipelines — traffic into revenue, not just rankings • Build content systems that compound over time • Collaborate directly with engineering, content, and product to ship FAST • Hunt for opportunities others miss. Exploit them before anyone notices. You'll work directly with the CEO. No politics. No fluff. Just clear KPIs, big bets, and room to swing hard. Responsibilities • Own our entire SEO strategy — technical, on-page, off-page, content, all of it • Conduct technical audits and partner with engineers to fix, improve, and scale • Build a ruthless, high-velocity content roadmap with a focus on monetizable keywords • Lead link acquisition strategies — high-quality, high-ROI only • Develop systems to track performance, spot ranking swings, and respond fast • Test, iterate, and repeat — always chasing the next level of growth • Turn organic search into one of our most dominant growth channels This isn't about checking boxes. It's about dominating organic in a way that drives the business, not just traffic. Who You Are You're not a consultant. You're not looking for “balance.” You're a growth operator disguised as an SEO — someone who: • Has 3–6+ years of hands-on SEO experience that actually moved the needle • Knows how to prioritize for impact, not just check best practices • Can code your way out of a crawl issue — or rally devs who can • Writes like a strategist, not a robot — understands search intent, not just volume • Loves chasing rankings, but cares more about revenue • Has built or ranked something from 0 to 1 M+ monthly sessions — and knows how to do it again • Thinks in systems, tests like a scientist, and scales like a madperson • Is ready to work 60–80 hours/week on a mission worth bleeding for You've probably built something on the side. You definitely have receipts. And you're ready to go all-in on something big. Compensation Top-of-market salary. You own this channel, you win with us. Period. The Dare This isn't for tourists or clock-punchers. This is for the one who wants to own the SERPs and build something that lasts. If you've been waiting for a mission worth your obsession, this is it. Skip the generic application. Send us a teardown. A plan. A site you ranked. A backlink hustle you're proud of. Show us you're not just good, you're dangerous. Let's build something legendary. Apply tot his job
