Job description

We are looking for a relentless and creative Link Building Specialist who understands that quality beats quantity.

You will focus on high-impact strategies like competitor analysis, targeted link inserts, content collaborations, and publisher recruitment.


Key Responsibilities:

  • End-to-End Outreach Campaigns: Execute specific link-building campaigns from ideation to execution (identifying targets, finding contact info, and sending pitches).

  • Relationship Management: Build, negotiate, and maintain relationships with publishers, link partners, bloggers, and editors for future collaboration.

  • Reporting: Track live links and report on campaign performance/ROI on a weekly/monthly basis.

What You Bring to the Table:

  • Experience: 2+ years of proven experience in link building or digital PR.
  • Tool Stack: Proficiency with Ahrefs (or SEMrush), link building software (Pitchbox or similar), outreach tools, and PR platforms (Muckrack, HARO).
  • Communication: Exceptional written English. You know how to write a subject line that gets opened and a pitch that gets a "Yes."
  • Resilience: You are comfortable with rejection and know that follow-ups are where the wins happen.


Bonus Points For:

  • Pitchbox experience.
  • Experience evaluating websites and knowing what a link is worth and how to price a placement.
  • Existing relationships with publishers, webmasters, and journalists.
  • Experience with "Digital PR" tactics (newsjacking, HARO, etc.).
  • Basic understanding of HTML/WordPress for uploading guest posts.
