Forward Role
SEO Specialist
Chester – 3 days in
£40k
The Opportunity
Forward Role are excited to be partnering with a long-established Travel brand, as they look to secure a brand new SEO Specialist to take ownership of organic search performance across multiple websites. This isn't a tick-box SEO role – they want someone who can think strategically, get hands-on technically, and work collaboratively with content and development teams to drive meaningful growth!
The travel sector is a highly competitive search environment, and this business is serious about investing in organic as a long-term acquisition channel. You'll have the opportunity to shape strategy, influence content direction, and see the direct impact of your work through enquiries and bookings.
What the Role Involves
You'll be developing and executing SEO strategies across several travel brands, covering everything from destination pages and travel guides through to inspirational planning content. On the technical side, you'll be conducting audits, working with developers on implementation, and supporting site migrations and launches. Day-to-day you'll be monitoring performance through GA4 and Search Console, analysing competitor activity, and presenting insights to marketing and commercial stakeholders.
What They're Looking For
You'll need at least three years of solid SEO experience, a strong grasp of technical SEO and on-page optimisation, and confidence working across multiple sites or large content structures. Proficiency with tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush or Screaming Frog is expected, as is experience with GA4 and Google Search Console.
Experience in the travel, tourism or hospitality sector would be a real advantage, as would a background in destination or editorial content, international SEO, or digital PR and link building – though these aren't dealbreakers for the right candidate.
In Summary
This is a great opportunity for an SEO professional who wants to work in an exciting global sector, with a business that has the content, the brands, and the ambition to grow. Up to £45,000 depending on experience, based in Chester with hybrid working.
