• Work with external agencies where beneficial, while retaining full ownership of overall strategy.

• 5 to 10 or more years of experience with SEO as a dedicated, full-time role, not a secondary responsibility, with clear results at meaningful scale.

• Proven international SEO expertise, including experience approaching markets outside your home region.

• Fluency in both English and German, this is a firm requirement given the DACH market focus.

• Strong copywriting skills, an SEO professional who can also write well is a genuine differentiator here.
