Off-Site SEO Authority Lead

Who We’re Looking For
We’re not looking for a “link builder.”
We’re looking for a tactical operator - someone who understands how to engineer, optimize, and scale authority in competitive search environments.

If you’ve ranked in niches where others get sandboxed, built authority in a quick yet longlasting manner, and know how to design a backlink profile that pushes rankings without waving red flags, keep reading.

What You’ll Own

Authority Growth Strategy

• Own the full roadmap for off-site authority expansion across multiple domains and markets.
• Architect domain and page-level backlink strategies based on real-world SERP dissection - not classic SEO theory.
• Build scalable frameworks for evaluating trust flow, topical relevance, anchor text ratios, and link velocity and know when to accelerate or slow down.
• Monitor authority shifts in real time and pivot tactics quickly.
• Integrate review signals, social proof, brand mentions, and digital identity to boost perceived trust and entity strength.

Tactical Execution (No Fluff. All Edge.)

• Deploy and evolve high-impact link strategies using:
• Digital PR and high-authority outreach (when it actually moves the needle)
• Strategic link exchanges and partnership engineering
• Resource listings, niche edits, and unlinked brand reclamation
• Content syndication and layered authority structures
• Entity stacking and semantic authority sculpting
• Carefully assessed domain redirects, private assets, and historical resources — where safe and effective
• Test emerging link acquisition methods before they go mainstream.
• Identify link velocity ceilings and sculpt backlink profiles with intent and precision.

Cross-Functional Integration

• Work hand-in-hand with SEO leads, content creators, and outreach partners to ensure alignment with broader business objectives.
• Coordinate with PR, brand, and social media teams to extract link opportunities from non-SEO channels.
• Manage vendors, freelancers, or internal teams with tight operational oversight — always prioritizing quality over quantity.

Measurement & Impact Reporting

• Own and report on link profile KPIs and their impact on search rankings, authority metrics, and traffic.
• Run backlink gap analyses and competitor tracking using Ahrefs, SEMrush, Majestic, etc.
• Tie every off-site investment back to ROI - whether through traffic lifts, SERP share, or revenue movement.

Experience

• 5+ years of SEO experience with a deep focus on off-site SEO, authority building, and scalable link acquisition.
• Proven success in high-competition verticals (e.g., finance, SaaS, crypto, casino, health, affiliate).
• Mastery of industry-standard tools: Ahrefs, SEMrush, Majestic, BuzzStream, GSC.
• Experience managing freelancers, link vendors, or even your own infrastructure (a plus).

Mindset

• Structured & methodical: You bring structure to chaos - designing scalable, repeatable systems that turn complexity into execution.
• Clear communicator: You cut through noise. Whether it’s cross-functional syncs or stakeholder buy-in, your communication lands clear and clean.
• You don’t just manage, you mobilize. Teams follow your lead because you bring vision, drive, and tactical firepower
• You’ve built systems that perform in the real world, and you know how to navigate varying degrees of SEO - from traditional to bold.
• You prioritize ROI over ideology, and results over theory.
• You’re driven by outcomes - rankings gained, authority scaled, and market share taken.
• You think tactically, adapt quickly, and aren’t afraid to innovate.

Compensation

• Competitive base salary
• Room to test and experiment
• Budget for tools, domains, freelancers, or tactics - whatever it takes to win
