Role Description

We’re looking for a Backlink Outreach / Link-Building Specialist to help grow our website’s authority through high-quality backlink acquisition and editorial outreach.

This is a results-driven role. We care about the quality and impact of the placements you secure — not simply how many pitches you send.

• Build and manage relationships with relevant outlets and publishers.
• Manage opportunities from initial outreach through to confirmed placement.
• Maintain an active pipeline of upcoming backlink and editorial opportunities.
• Track placements and referring-domain growth using Semrush.
• Monitor backlink quality and flag potentially spammy, low-authority, or paid-placement-heavy opportunities.
• Provide a concise weekly report covering:
  • Placements landed
  • Placements currently in progress
  • New referring domains
  • Any red flags or issues
  • Your target outlets/sites for the following week

Qualifications

• Strong background in backlink outreach, link building, digital PR, editorial outreach, or securing earned media placements.
• Motivated by measurable results.

Requirements

• 15–25 new referring domains per month.
• 70%+ of new links should be dofollow, editorial-relevant links.
• +0.5–1.0 average monthly increase in Authority Score.
• 4–8 placements per month.

Benefits

• $1,200 - $1,500 a month
• 100% REMOTE
• $50 birthday bonus
• $200 testimonial bonus
• NO TRACKER. NO PROBLEM
