You will be expected to spend time outside of work researching and staying current on industry trends. This means time researching, practicing and reading during your free time. For the right person that is a pleasure, rather than a chore. Even if you already have a lot of SEO experience, you must also have an open mind. We have our process that may be different than what you learned somewhere else. And, it works well, so we expect our SEOs to follow it.
This position is in our offices in Plano, Texas. We will only consider candidates who need to work from home or other geographical locations if they are exceptional - but we prefer to have this position in the office. Any agencies or off-shore applicants will be wasting their time responding to this ad. Successful candidates must be able to work in the United States.
