• Provide technical SEO input for website changes, redesigns and new development.

• Identify technical problems and translate them into clear, actionable developer requirements.

• Knowledge of CDNs and caching, such as Cloudflare.
• Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks such as React or Next.js.
• WordPress or other CMS experience.

What You'll Bring

• Naturally curious and focused on finding the root cause of technical problems.
• Strong attention to detail and a data-driven approach.
• Comfortable getting hands-on with technical website issues.
• Able to turn complex technical problems into practical solutions.
• Confident working independently and taking ownership.

• Opportunity to work across SEO, web performance, and development.
• Exposure to modern web technologies and digital platforms.
• Ongoing learning and professional development.
• Supportive and collaborative working environment.
