About the role

Businesses looking for an AI receptionist do not know our name, so they search for the problem instead. This role is about being there when they do. ContactVerse is starting close to zero, which means the work is foundational rather than incremental and the results are attributable.

What you will do

• Own organic search: the strategy, the technical foundation and the measurement.
• Do the keyword work properly, including for the industry verticals we serve.
• Fix the technical basics (structure, speed, indexation, schema) and keep them fixed.
• Work with content on what to write and why, rather than after it is written.
• Report honestly, including when a quarter did not move.
• Watch what competitors rank for, and be specific about why.

Your first year

First 90 days. A technical audit done and the foundations fixed.

By six months. Target terms ranking and traffic attributable to the work.

By twelve months. Organic search a dependable channel rather than an experiment.

What you will bring

• Three years or more in SEO including real technical work, not only keyword lists.
• Can read a site's structure and say what is wrong with it.
• Analytics and search console at a level where you can defend a conclusion.
• Has grown organic traffic somewhere and can show the before and after.
• Honest about attribution, including its limits.

Nice to have

• B2B SaaS.
• Multi-market or multi-language SEO.
• Working knowledge of how a site is actually built.
• Experience with a site that had no SEO history.

What you will work with

A site being rebuilt, an analytics stack, and a content programme you will help direct.

What this role is not

Not a reporting function. You will be expected to change the numbers, not describe them.

How we work

Everything is remote and nobody is in an office. The team spans the UK and India, with the main working overlap in the evening IST. The precise pattern is agreed with you rather than imposed.

We are a small company and we write things down. Decisions are recorded, corrections are made to the source rather than to the output, and status is expected to be honest even when it is unwelcome.

Compensation and what we offer

• Fully remote working, with company-provided equipment where the role requires it.
• A role with unusual scope for its level, because the organisation is being built rather than joined.
• Direct access to the founders. There are no layers between this role and the people making the decisions.

How we will assess you

We assess against three or four weighted signals agreed before we read a single CV, rather than against years of experience or a list of tools. Expect three stages:

• Introductory conversation with our People team. About 30 minutes, covering the role, your background and what you are looking for. This first conversation may be with an AI assistant; you will be told at the time and may ask to speak to a person instead.
• Conversation with the hiring manager. About 60 minutes, going deep on what you have done and how you think.
• A working session on a real ContactVerse problem. About 60 to 90 minutes. Not a whiteboard exercise and not a take-home test you do unpaid in your evenings.

We aim to complete the process within three weeks and to give you a decision, with reasons, within three working days of the final stage.

Equal opportunity

ContactVerse is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications regardless of age, disability, gender identity or expression, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. We select against the published signals for the role and nothing else. If you need an adjustment at any stage of the process, tell us and we will make it. It will not count against you.

Research consistently shows that some candidates apply only when they meet every criterion. If this role interests you and you meet most of what is listed, please apply.

How to apply

Write to career@contactverse.ai quoting reference POS-032, with your CV and a short note (a few paragraphs is plenty) on the part of this role you would most want to get your hands on, and why.
