  • Offsite SEO & PR - Work alongside our PR team to strengthen DAZN's offsite presence and brand reputation, growing the number of high-quality citations and backlinks across North America.
  • Reporting & Analytics - Take ownership of internal SEO reporting, liaising with our central Analytics team to build dashboards and track performance against organic growth targets.

  • Proven SEO track record: solid experience delivering strong organic search results, either agency-side or in-house, with a strategic as well as hands-on approach.
  • Expertise across all areas of SEO, with a particular focus on content SEO and offsite/link building strategies.
  • Hands-on experience with SEO tools including Google Search Console, Ahrefs, keyword ranking platforms (e.g. STAT, AWR), and Google Analytics / GA4.
  • Comfortable working in a CMS and familiar with the basics of how content is published and structured across large sites.
  • Experience with AI SEO (GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation) and how to optimise for emerging AI search platforms - this is a key new focus area for the team.

  • Mindset: curious, data-driven, and passionate about sport.

Even better if you have:
