[Hiring] SEO Specialist @Stayd Collective

Role Description

You turn organic search into one of the largest sources of owner leads and direct bookings across our 8+ brand sites. You produce search content at a volume a traditional content team cannot reach, using AI as your production engine, and you hold every page to one test: did it increase sessions, and did those sessions convert?

It is a role for a hands-on SEO who edits like a local and measures like an analyst, not a writer who wants to hand-craft five posts a month. Publishing a page is not the same as growing the business. If a cluster is yours, you own whether it brings in leads and bookings, and you fix it or cut it if it does not.

You sit in Marketing and report to the CMO, working closely with dev, the brand teams and the rest of marketing. This role is focused on organic search, not paid ads, but your insights on what owners and guests are searching for will help shape the rest of our marketing too.

This role is remote and open to people anywhere in Latin America. Because Stay’d runs shared systems across every brand, the pipeline and quality bar you build become how Stay’d does SEO across the portfolio.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience growing organic traffic and conversions, with before-and-after numbers to show for it.
• Daily use of AI to produce content, with clear opinions on what works and where the line is.
• Strong editing skills: you can make an AI draft sound local, specific and true.
• Comfort with GSC, GA4, Screaming Frog or Sitebulb, and Ahrefs, Semrush or DataForSEO.
• Directness about results: if a cluster is not converting, you say so and reallocate.
• Excellent written English.
• STR, hospitality, travel or real estate SEO experience is a plus.
• Programmatic SEO, multi-location sites, or SQL, Looker Studio and scripts for your own reporting are a plus.

Requirements

• Keyword research, topic clusters, briefs, drafts, publishing and refreshes across 8+ brand sites: destination guides, neighborhood pages, owner-acquisition pages, FAQs and comparison pages.
• AI workflows (Claude, Cursor, custom prompts, templates, programmatic pages) that take a page from keyword to published at scale, with less editing time per page and without the content reading like AI wrote it.
• The quality bar: each brand’s voice, local accuracy and E-E-A-T. No thin pages, no duplicated copy across brands, no invented claims, and every AI draft fact-checked by a human.
• On-page and technical basics: titles, meta, internal linking, schema, indexation, Core Web Vitals flags and redirects, partnering with dev on anything bigger.
• Local search through Google Business Profile, citations and local links for each brand.
• AI search visibility, so our brands get cited in AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity for owner and guest questions.
• One scoreboard per brand, tracking rankings to sessions to owner leads and bookings in GSC, GA4 and StaydOS.
• A playbook that lets the next brand onboard to the content engine in weeks, not quarters.
