The Role
We're hiring for a Head of SEO to own organic search presence across our iGaming and Rewards propositions in the UK and US. This is a build role: you'll set the strategy, hire the team and put the tooling and processes in place to execute.
You'll turn organic search into a predictable, compliant growth channel measured on commercial outcomes, not just rankings. That means registrations, purchases and revenue for iGaming, and sign-ups and active members for Rewards.
You'll look after four sites: cashback.co.uk http://cashback.co.uk, joincustard.co.uk http://joincustard.co.uk, strikewild.co.uk http://strikewild.co.uk and slotswise.com http://slotswise.com.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
STRATEGY AND OWNERSHIP
- Set and own the organic search strategy for iGaming and Rewards across the UK and US, with clear targets and a 12-month roadmap
- Prioritise by commercial value: focus effort on the verticals, states, merchants and page types that drive purchases, revenue and member growth
- Own the SEO budget and make the case for investment in people, tools, content and links
- Work closely with commercial, paid, CRM, brand and compliance teams so SEO priorities match merchant deals and launch plans
BUILDING THE TEAM
- Hire and lead a team from scratch, starting with the roles the roadmap needs most (for example, technical SEO, content SEO, outreach)
- Decide what to build in-house and what to outsource, and manage agencies and freelancers where it makes sense

- Own site health across our properties: crawlability, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, structured data and internal linking
- Work with product and engineering to put SEO into templates, releases and migrations from the start

CONTENT AND AUTHORITY
- Set the content strategy and editorial standards, with E-E-A-T and YMYL expectations built in
- Lead a safe, sustainable approach to digital PR and link acquisition in competitive, closely watched SERPs
- Shape our approach to AI-powered search, AI Overviews and generative engine optimisation (GEO) so our brands are cited and trusted
MARKETS AND COMPLIANCE
- Run distinct UK and US plans that reflect each market's regulation, search behaviour and competition
- Plan US state launches so content and authority are ready ahead of go-live
- Make sure every page meets UKGC, ASA/CAP, US state and responsible gambling requirements
MEASUREMENT
- Build reporting that links organic traffic to clickouts, registrations, purchases and revenue
- Track rankings, share of voice and competitor movement, and act on what the data shows
- Report performance and forecasts to the leadership team
