The Technical SEO team sits within the Audience Operations department and is responsible for the technical SEO health of Future’s large and diverse portfolio of websites, including TechRadar, Games Radar, Live Science, Woman&Home and Cinema Blend. Our brands typically occupy market-leading positions in large verticals, and our total portfolio generates hundreds of millions of monthly sessions.

What you'll be doing…

We’re looking for a talented Technical SEO Manager with proven experience in a SEO role, who has a thorough understanding of crawling, indexing and rendering and their importance when it comes to SEO success.

The Technical SEO Manager would be comfortable performing regular SEO audits - including analysis on content quality and concepts such as E-E-A-T - to ensure SEO weaknesses and opportunities are identified and prioritised. With access to many SEO tools as well as log files, Google Analytics and Google Search Console, audits are expected to be data-led and actionable.

Keeping abreast of the latest SEO developments - including Google algorithm changes - is a key part of the role, as is making constant improvements to our bespoke platform to ensure it’s best in class when it comes to SEO. From revamping taxonomies and internationalisation to improving page templates and internal linking, this is a hands-on role where you’ll be helping to shape some of the best sites in publishing. An equally important part of the role is monitoring site health across our wide range of websites, raising bugs and concerns where necessary.

Experience with website migrations would be advantageous, as the Technical SEO team is responsible for all migrations, which typically involve moving acquired websites over to Future’s bespoke platform.

The role would suit an existing SEO Manager who is looking to move into a varied and exciting role working across many established brands, or an SEO Executive / Senior SEO Executive who is looking to make the step up into a more senior role. The role may include line management of other staff.

Experience that will put you ahead of the curve…

• High level of expertise across technical SEO
• Strong understanding of on-page and off-page SEO
• Experience of successful website migrations
• Experience of performing in-depth SEO audits
• Experience in Google Analytics, Google Search Console and Microsoft Excel /Google Sheets is a must
• Proficient with SEO tools such as OnCrawl, Screaming Frog, Content King, Ahrefs, SEMRush and AWR Cloud.

What's in it for you…

We have a number of awesome perks available to our staff.  We offer huge opportunities to learn and develop, whether through professional qualifications, exposure to incredible business projects or informal lunch & learns, hosted by your colleagues. We have a fantastic culture where we really do care about our people and want everyone to succeed. Varied roles mean you’re not pigeonholed in to one finite area but get the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and experience

And to top it all off, not only do we offer unlimited holiday because we trust you to manage your workload and time but we also offer a share in our success whereby every colleague is eligible to join our profit pool bonus scheme - if Future hits their performance targets all colleagues may receive a bonus.
