Job Description

workfromhome

Als je in het owned team aan het werk gaat ga je voor veel verschillende klanten aan de slag. Klanten waar je bijvoorbeeld voor kunt gaan werken zijn: Odido, PostNL, Zeeman, Beerwulf & Vattenfall. In een week probeer jij samen met je klanten de organische zichtbaarheid in Google Search, maar ook in zoekmachines als TikTok, Youtube en Bol, zo groot mogelijk te maken. Hierbij denk je out of the box als het gaat om oplossingen en laat je, je niet zomaar afbluffen door een kritische developer of online marketeer. Als klant lead ben je verantwoordelijk voor het bepalen van de SEO strategie en tactiek die het beste resultaat gaat opleveren. Daarnaast ben je ook niet bang om je handen uit de mouwen te steken en ook uitvoerende taken op je te nemen en denk je graag mee hoe AI ons werk niet alleen sneller kan maken, maar ook kan vernieuwen. Samen met de rest van het team werk je aan klanten, maar ben je ook bezig om de kwaliteit van SEO bij Springbok te verbeteren.

Wat je gaat doen

We rekenen op jouw skills om optimale SEO-resultaten te behalen. Je maakt hiervoor correcte SEO-audits waar onze klant en diens stakeholders direct mee aan de slag kunnen. Wanneer je met meerdere specialisten op jouw klant(en) werkt ben je in staat je collega’s aan te sturen en werk te delegeren. Daarnaast weet je, je klant en collega te enthousiasmeren over SEO en de laatste ontwikkelingen.

Wat jouw collega’s zeggen over de functie

Voel je meteen thuis in ons team. Je toekomstige collega’s geven je graag een inkijk hoe het er bij Springbok aan toegaat.

Karlijn: “Als SEO specialist bij Springbok is geen dag hetzelfde. Het ene moment werk ik aan een technische analyse waarbij ik actiepunten uitwerk om de performance van onze klant op de Google Web Vitals te verbeteren, daarna heb ik een meeting met een junior collega om hem te leren hoe je een zoekwoordenonderzoek voor SEO uitvoert. Vervolgens heb ik een digitale meeting met meerdere collega’s en een van onze klanten om de resultaten van vorige maand en de actiepunten van volgende maand te bespreken. Daarna doe ik nog een check-up op onze outreach trajecten en ga ik aan de slag met een contentanalyse voor een pagina van een klant die de laatste tijd wat achterloopt qua prestaties. Nee, mijn job is nooit saai.”

Julian: ''Bij Springbok staat jouw ontwikkeling centraal, ongeacht je startpunt. Zelf begon ik als werkstudent en kreeg al snel de kans om als afstudeerstagiair mijn eigen projecten op te pakken. Nu werk ik als SEO-specialist voor veel leuke en diverse klanten. Springbok biedt een inspirerende werkomgeving waar ik veel samenwerk met collega's uit verschillende disciplines. De mogelijkheden voor persoonlijke groei zorgen ervoor dat je altijd het beste uit jezelf kunt halen en met een divers trainingsaanbod is Springbok de ideale plek voor iedereen die gedreven is om te leren en een betere professional te worden.''

Jacco: “Of je nu junior of meer ervaren specialist bent; er zijn hier altijd mogelijkheden voor persoonlijke ontwikkeling en het realiseren van ambities. Wil je multidisciplinair werkzaam zijn of wil je je op een specifiek vlak specialiseren? Als jij met een goed plan komt, dan kan dat gewoon. Ook delen we als SEO collega’s veel kennis met elkaar. Met een team van (momenteel) 12 SEO specialisten kan iedereen altijd van elkaar leren.”

Jouw groeiende vaardigheden
  1. Minimaal 1-2 jaar aantoonbare ervaring als SEO specialist.
  2. Kennis van Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console.
  3. Kennis van bekende SEO tools zoals Screaming Frog & Ahrefs.
  4. Basiskennis van Google Ads.
  5. Je hebt een goed beeld van het bredere online marketing landschap en de rol van SEO daarin.
  6. Je bent op de hoogte van de laatste ontwikkelingen in Search en de rol van AI daarin.
  7. Goede beheersing van de Nederlandse taal in woord en geschrift.
  8. Je bent flexibel en zelfstandig ingesteld en kan goed omgaan met wisselende werkzaamheden en drukte.

Wij begrijpen dat salaris een belangrijk aspect is. Daarom bespreken we jouw salariswensen (op basis van jouw kennis en ervaring) tijdens ons eerste contactmoment.

Ontwikkeling staat bij ons voorop. We vinden het dan ook belangrijk dat je je certificering voor Google Analytics 4 en Conversion Optimization bij ons behaalt en gaan graag met je in gesprek over jouw ambities op de lange(re) termijn.

Een keuze uit een dienstverband van 32, 36 of 40 uur per week. Daarnaast kan je er 28 dagen per jaar (op basis van 40 uur) lekker tussenuit en er is een goede balans tussen thuis werken, op kantoor of bijvoorbeeld in de Spaanse zon.

We voorzien je van een telefoon en laptop naar keuze! Gebruik je liever je eigen nummer en telefoon? Dan krijg je een netto vergoeding van €30,00 per maand.

Hoe jij naar kantoor komt (OV of auto), dat bepaal je helemaal zelf: ook een E-bike behoort tot de mogelijkheden!

We hebben een pensioenregeling via Nationale Nederlanden en je kunt tot 40% goedkoper sporten via onze bedrijfsfitnessregeling.

Doorgroeimogelijkheden? Samen met je teamlead werk je aan de beste versie van jezelf! Bij Springbok stimuleren we groei met bijbehorende levels. Wij geven jou het doel, hoe je dat bereikt is aan jou.

Het leven moet je vieren! Een cadeautje na het doorlopen van je proeftijd, een lunch met je team in je inwerktraject, verjaardag en andere bijzondere gebeurtenissen.

Jaarlijks organiseert de Springbok feest & sportcommissie leuke activiteiten als: padeltoernooien, wijn -en bierproeverijen, uitjes inclusief overnachting, bordspel avonden en nog veel meer!

Zijn we een match?

Organisch Of betaald - Organisch. Jij bent laaiend enthousiast over de vele facetten van SEO en wat SEO kan betekenen voor de vindbaarheid van jouw klanten. Je hebt ervaring als SEO specialist of Online marketeer.

Screaming frog Of Growling bear - Screaming frog. 1 van de tools waarmee jij gewend bent te werken. Andere tools waarmee je gewend bent te werken, zijn Google Search Console, Ahrefs en Google Analytics.
