SEO Specialist | Virtual Coworker Inc | Handshake

ABOUT VIRTUAL COWORKER

Virtual Coworker connects Filipino talent with SMEs across the US and Australasia. We are

well-established, but our organic search presence has not kept pace with our ambitions. That is

where you come in. We want to build real, lasting organic authority - across two markets and

two domains - and we are looking for someone who finds that genuinely exciting.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a full-ownership SEO role. You will work across our US (.com) and Australian (.com.au)

websites, building a cohesive organic strategy that strengthens our Google presence in both

markets. We are not looking for someone to manage a checklist - we want a person who loses

sleep over a dropped ranking, who celebrates a featured snippet, and who brings fresh ideas

every week. You will have the freedom to shape the direction, and the accountability to deliver

results. This role suits someone who treats SEO as a craft, not just a job title.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Own the SEO strategy and execution for both the .com and .com.au websites, with a clear

focus on growing organic traffic and improving rankings across both Google AU and

Google US

• Conduct thorough keyword research across US and Australian markets, mapping intent to

our service offerings

• Perform regular technical SEO audits - crawl health, indexation, structured data, site

speed, and mobile usability

• Manage and grow our backlink profile through outreach, digital PR, and relationship-

building

• Create and optimise on-page content in collaboration with our team - including meta tags,

headings, internal linking, and schema markup

• Monitor and report on organic performance across both sites using Google Search

Console, Google Analytics, and relevant SEO tools

• Stay current on Google algorithm updates and proactively adjust strategy in response
• Identify content gaps and opportunities, and build a content calendar that supports ranking

goals

• Work closely with our WordPress developer to ensure technical SEO recommendations

are implemented correctly and quickly

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Substantial hands-on SEO experience - ideally 3+ years with demonstrable results and

traffic growth you can speak to confidently

• Experience working across multiple domains or managing regional/international SEO is a

strong advantage

• Proficient with tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console,

and GA4

• Strong understanding of both technical and content SEO - comfortable discussing crawl

budgets and keyword clustering in the same conversation

• A data-led mindset - you let performance guide decisions, not gut feel alone
• Intrinsic motivation and genuine accountability - you do not need to be chased for updates

or pushed to try new approaches

• Genuine passion for organic growth; someone who finds the work interesting and takes

personal pride in moving the needle
