You’ll love this remote opportunity to help a rapidly growing mental health platform expand its reach through creative link building and digital PR. It’s a great fit if you enjoy building relationships with journalists and publishers while working in a meaningful space that values high-quality content and outreach.
Job description
We're looking for an SEO Specialist to own off-page SEO and link acquisition for a fast-growing AI mental health and wellness platform. You will build a high-quality backlink profile through targeted outreach, digital PR, content partnerships, and relationship-building with publishers, journalists, bloggers, and site owners in the health, wellness, tech, and mental health spaces.
This is a link building-first role. Strong technical SEO knowledge is a plus, but the primary requirement is a proven track record of acquiring high-authority backlinks through outreach and relationship-building rather than automated tools or paid placements. You also need to be a confident communicator; link building at scale requires writing outreach that gets opened and replied to, and occasionally getting on a call to close a placement. If you have an excellent link building background, strong written English, and the communication confidence to represent a growing brand with authority and warmth, this role is a strong fit.
Why You'll Want to Join You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
This role requires availability during US business hours
Work inside a fast-growing AI wellness platform with a strong mission and a large and engaged user base
High-ownership SEO role with direct impact on domain authority, organic visibility, and brand credibility
What You'll Work On Link Building and Outreach
Identify and prospect high-authority link opportunities across health, wellness, mental health, technology, and consumer app publications and websites
Write and send personalized outreach emails to site owners, editors, journalists, and bloggers to secure editorial backlinks, guest posts, and content placements
Build and maintain relationships with publishers and content partners for ongoing link acquisition
Track outreach campaigns, response rates, and link placement outcomes with clear reporting
Identify and pursue digital PR opportunities including expert quotes, data-driven content pitches, and resource page placements
Link Profile Management
Audit the existing backlink profile and identify toxic or low-quality links for disavowal
Monitor new and lost links and proactively recover high-value lost placements
Maintain an organized link building pipeline and prospect database
Report on link acquisition progress, domain authority growth, and key off-page SEO metrics
Content and On-Page SEO Support
Collaborate with content and marketing teams to develop linkable assets including data reports, guides, and expert content designed to attract natural links
Support on-page and technical SEO work as needed including keyword research, internal linking, and metadata optimization
Stay current on algorithm updates, link building best practices, and changes in how Google evaluates backlink quality
What You Bring Proven track record of acquiring high-authority backlinks through manual outreach and relationship-building in a professional capacity
Excellent link building background with experience across multiple industries or verticals
Strong written English with the ability to write outreach that gets opened, read, and replied to
Confident communicator who is comfortable representing the brand directly with publishers, editors, and site owners via email and occasionally on calls
Experience with SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz, or similar for prospecting, auditing, and tracking link performance
Organized and systematic with the ability to manage a high-volume outreach pipeline without losing quality or follow-through
Self-directed and results-oriented with a clear focus on link quality over link volume
Nice to Have Experience in health, wellness, mental health, or consumer app link building
Background in digital PR including media outreach, expert commentary placements, and data-driven content pitches
Familiarity with on-page and technical SEO alongside off-page expertise
Experience using outreach tools such as Pitchbox, BuzzStream, Hunter.io, or similar platforms
How to Apply Please include:
Your updated resume
A short portfolio or examples showing link building campaigns or placements you have personally owned including the sites targeted, the approach used, and the results achieved
A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, describing your link building experience, and walking through one outreach campaign you ran and how you approached it from prospecting through to placement
Only candidates who submit both examples and a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.
If you have an excellent link building background, write outreach that gets results, and want to own the off-page SEO strategy for a fast-growing AI wellness platform with a strong mission and a large user base, this role gives you the ownership and the direct impact to do your best work.
