They’re looking for a performance-driven SEO Strategist/Specialist to join their growing marketing team onsite in Whittier, CA.

  • Perform ongoing content audits and identify opportunities for schema markup, FAQs, how-to content, and zero-click rankings
  • Collaborate with writers to produce answer-first, engaging, and optimized content for all funnels
  • Monitor search engine trends and core updates — adjusting strategy accordingly
  • Manage and analyze performance via GA4, GSC, Ahrefs/SEMrush, and Surfer or equivalent tools
  • Provide clear monthly reporting with actionable insights


Required Skills

  • 3–5+ years of proven experience in SEO, with a strong portfolio of ranking and traffic results
  • Solid understanding of AEO, E-E-A-T, and structured data (FAQ, HowTo, Review, Product schema, etc.)
  • Experience optimizing for featured snippets and SGE-like AI environments
  • Proficiency with SEO and analytics tools (e.g., Ahrefs, SEMrush, Surfer SEO, Screaming Frog, GA4, GSC)
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and pivot with agility
  • Bonus: Experience with home improvement, home organizing, or lifestyle brands


The Offer

  • Competitive salary ($85K–$110K DOE)
