About you
You are an experienced SEO professional who thrives on being hands-on in your role. You are an all-rounder whose passions lie more in technical SEO and on-page optimisation than digital PR.

You’ve had experience working on e-commerce websites and enjoy the challenges that come with optimising these for crawling, relevancy and indexing.

You enjoy the problem-solving that is inherent with SEO. You’re a natural advocate for SEO in the organisations you’ve worked in and get a buzz from educating and upskilling others about it.

About us www.carandclassic.com
Car & Classic is one of the largest automotive marketplaces in the world. We’re lucky to have thousands of user-generated listings submitted monthly with content gems from James Bond’s Aston DB5 to Elvis Presley’s Cadillac. The site is old, launched in 2005 but under new, VC-backed ownership since 2018 and on an exciting triple-digit growth journey to bring classic vehicle transactions online.

Our culture is incredibly important to us. We’re lucky enough to have built the team from scratch with a focus on enjoying the day-to-day, diversity, inclusion and high performance. Despite being an entirely distributed business, we build strong connections as colleagues and have created a fun and high-performing culture.

We’re looking for a SEO Specialist that has passion and flair with strong, relevant experience and wants to make their mark in a rapid-growth business where they can make a real difference, whilst enjoying the environment and culture of a fully remote globally distributed workforce.
