Betting or iGaming experience is a strong plus, and you should know how regulation affects what publishers will and won't accept in gambling - Good at outreach and comfortable negotiating prices - Professional English. Other languages are genuinely useful here given how many markets we operate in - At ease with Excel, SEO tools, and explaining your numbers when someone asks - Sports fan: a plus What we offer - Fully remote, a lot of autonomy - A real budget and room to test things that might not work - Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, Seolyzer and AccuRanker - A team that has been doing this for years across very different markets How to apply Send us: - 3 placements you're proud of: live URL, target URL, anchor, and price paid.
