We are seeking a Technical SEO Specialist to oversee the technical health of our e-commerce platform, ensuring that our extensive portfolio of product pages, categories, and editorial content is effectively crawled, indexed, and ranked by search engines.
You'll be the person who actually owns crawlability, indexing and site architecture end to end, digging into crawl data, fixing what's broken, and partnering closely with our web development and product teams to make sure nothing stands between our content and the search results it deserves. That means there's always another crawl budget to optimise, another schema type to roll out, another Core Web Vital to chase. If you're the kind of person who gets restless when something's "good enough" and wants to see your fixes show up in real organic growth, this is a genuinely meaty technical SEO role.
Protein Works is a high-growth DTC nutrition brand with a clear mission: help people live healthier, happier lives through the power of nutrition. If you want to join a business with the energy of a challenger and the foundations of a market leader, this is the right moment to do it.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the technical health of our e-commerce platform, running regular site crawls to catch and resolve crawl errors, broken links and rendering issues before they cost us traffic.
- Take control of indexing, managing XML sitemaps, robots.
- Partner with our web development team to push Core Web Vitals, image compression and server response times in the right direction.
- Tame faceted navigation, optimising filter and sort URLs to shut down duplicate content and index bloat across thousands of product listings.
- Build and maintain structured data, including product, review, aggregate rating and organisation schema, to help search engines (and shoppers) understand our pages properly.
- Track site health daily using Google Search Console, Screaming Frog and log file analysis, spotting problems early rather than reacting to them later.
Experience gained where you were focused specifically on technical SEO, ideally within a large-scale e-commerce environment. Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, status codes and how JavaScript rendering (client side vs server side) affects what search engines actually see. Comfortable pulling and interpreting data in GA4, Excel/Google Sheets or Looker Studio, and using it to back up your recommendations.
Benefits:
- Exclusive staff discounts
- Private healthcare
- Birthday day off
- Pension scheme
- Unique bonus scheme
- Cycle to work scheme
- Access to retail discounts
- Staff socials and events
- WFH on Fridays
