Own organic growth at a scale most SEOs never touch.
An SEO Specialist role in Lisbon for an operator who lives in the data, ships without being asked, and wants the compounding growth of a scale-up over the comfort of a corporate ladder.
This is a confidential search, so we cannot name the company yet. Here is what actually matters about it. The product is used by millions of people across a global, multi-market footprint. Organic is a primary growth channel with real budget and executive attention, and the SEO function is small enough that your work moves the top-line number and is seen by leadership. Decisions are made on data, not on the loudest opinion in the room.
The mandate is ownership, not tasks.
Run technical site audits, then ship the fixes
Crawl, log-file and Core Web Vitals analysis with Screaming Frog and friends. You turn findings into a prioritized backlog and follow each fix to deploy, not a slide deck.
Map keyword strategy to revenue, not vanity traffic
Own the model from query to conversion. You decide where organic effort compounds, and you can defend every call with data.
Own end-to-end performance metrics
Set the targets, build the dashboards, report the truth. Leadership reads your numbers, so they have to be right.
Find and execute the compounding wins
Internal linking at scale, programmatic and templated pages, indexation control, content refresh systems. The work that keeps paying off after you ship it.
Run experiments, not opinions
Hypothesis, test, measure, then kill or scale. No HiPPO decisions, no guessing.
Work cross-functionally to ship
Partner with engineering, content and product. You write the ticket, you verify the deploy, you close the loop.
Analytical, humble, and entirely self-driven.
The craft
- ✓0 to 2 years in SEO or growth, or a recent graduate with real work to show. Internships, side projects, your own site, a client you helped rank: we care about demonstrable results, not years on a CV.
- ✓Fluent (or a fast learner) in Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, and Ahrefs or SEMrush.
- ✓Comfortable in data to the point of pain. SQL or Python familiarity is a strong plus: you would rather query the answer than ask for it.
- ✓You follow algorithm shifts and SERP mechanics closely, and your opinions are backed by tests you have run.
The wiring
- ✓Self-driven. You unblock yourself. "I did not have the data" is not a sentence you say.
- ✓Analytical and honest with numbers. You report what is true, not what is flattering.
- ✓Humble and outcome-obsessed. You care that the metric moved, not who gets the credit.
- ✓You want pace and ownership over politics, hierarchy, and process theatre.
