SEO Specialist

About OnMedia

We’re a search-first digital agency helping Kenya businesses dominate Google. Our clients include growing startups and established brands in Kenya. We’re growing fast and need someone who can execute SEO campaigns at a high level.

The Role

We need an SEO specialist who can execute client campaigns. You’ll own the day-to-day execution for 4-6 client accounts. Our Head of SEO provides the strategy and direction. You make it happen. This is NOT a junior role. You should be able to work independently with minimal supervision.

What You’ll Do

SEO Execution:

  • Conduct technical audits using Ahrefs, Sitebulb, and Google Search Console
  • Keyword research and competitor analysis
  • Create detailed content briefs for writers
  • Execute link building campaigns
  • Implement on-page SEO 
  • Track rankings and monitor site performance
  • Identify opportunities and issues proactively

Client Management:

  • Monthly performance reports (rankings, traffic, conversions)
  • Client update emails and occasional calls
  • Translate technical SEO into business language

Team Coordination:

  • Manage our content & SEO interns (assign tasks, review work)
  • Coordinate with WordPress support when technical changes needed (make changes where necessary)

Tools You’ll Use:

  • Ahrefs (primary)
  • Google Search Console & Analytics
  • Sitebulb 
  • WordPress
  • ClickUp (project management)
  • SEO Tab

What You Need

Must Have:

  • 2-4 years hands-on SEO experience
  • Strong technical SEO knowledge
  • Proven ability to improve rankings and organic traffic
  • Comfortable using Ahrefs
  • Can implement SEO changes in WordPress 
  • Excellent English (written and spoken)
  • Self-directed – you manage your own workload and deadlines
  • Based in Nairobi

Bonus Points:

  • Agency experience (you know the pace and client management)
  • Experience with page builders like Elementor
  • Link building experience in African markets
  • Content strategy or writing skills

Not Required:

  • Paid ads or social media
  • A WordPress developer (basic implementation skills are enough)
  • Perfect (we’d rather have someone who delivers good work consistently than someone who overthinks everything)

What Success Looks Like

Month 1:

  • You’ve audited all 6 client accounts
  • You’ve identified quick wins and started executing
  • You’re communicating clearly with clients

Month 3:

  • You’re managing client accounts independently
  • Rankings are improving across the board
  • Head of SEO only needs to check in weekly
  • Clients are happy with communication and results

Month 6:

  • You’re the SEO execution engine
  • We’re closing more clients because you can handle the delivery

Compensation & Structure

Salary: 35-50K/month (based on experience) + Profit sharing each month

Structure:

  • 30-day trial period at agreed rate
  • Remote work, flexible hours
  • Weekly check-ins with Head of SEO
  • Fast-paced, small team environment
