## Description (the employer's text)

Our Company

At Quantum, we connect global brands with high-intent consumers. We turn intent into action and complexity into clarity.

Our Mission is clear, to help smarter, faster buying decisions. Our vision, to be the world’s most used digital comparison service, delivering value and simplicity to millions.

We drive growth through data-driven affiliate marketing built for performance from day one. Every campaign is measurable, optimised in real time, and designed to scale.

With in-house tech, full-stack analytics, and a compliance-first mindset, we give our partners an edge. We drive confident decisions and growth in regulated and high-growth sectors. We’ve helped ambitious brands grow faster, smarter, and globally.

### The Role

We're hiring for a Head of SEO to own organic search presence across our iGaming and Rewards propositions in the UK and US. This is a build role: you'll set the strategy, hire the team and put the tooling and processes in place to execute.

You'll turn organic search into a predictable, compliant growth channel measured on commercial outcomes, not just rankings. That means registrations, purchases and revenue for iGaming, and sign-ups and active members for Rewards.

You'll look after four sites: cashback.co.uk, joincustard.co.uk, strikewild.co.uk and slotswise.com.

### Key Responsibilities

### Strategy and ownership

Set and own the organic search strategy for iGaming and Rewards across the UK and US, with clear targets and a 12-month roadmap

Prioritise by commercial value: focus effort on the verticals, states, merchants and page types that drive purchases, revenue and member growth

Own the SEO budget and make the case for investment in people, tools, content and links

Work closely with commercial, paid, CRM, brand and compliance teams so SEO priorities match merchant deals and launch plans

### Building the team

Hire and lead a team from scratch, starting with the roles the roadmap needs most (for example, technical SEO, content SEO, outreach)

Decide what to build in-house and what to outsource, and manage agencies and freelancers where it makes sense

Set the processes, playbooks and tooling the team runs on

### Technical SEO

Own site health across our properties: crawlability, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, structured data and internal linking

Work with product and engineering to put SEO into templates, releases and migrations from the start

Build scalable page frameworks for reviews, comparisons, offers and state or market landing pages

### Content and authority

Set the content strategy and editorial standards, with E-E-A-T and YMYL expectations built in

Lead a safe, sustainable approach to digital PR and link acquisition in competitive, closely watched SERPs

Shape our approach to AI-powered search, AI Overviews and generative engine optimisation (GEO) so our brands are cited and trusted

### Markets and compliance

Run distinct UK and US plans that reflect each market's regulation, search behaviour and competition

Plan US state launches so content and authority are ready ahead of go-live

Make sure every page meets UKGC, ASA/CAP, US state and responsible gambling requirements

### Measurement

Build reporting that links organic traffic to clickouts, registrations, purchases and revenue

Track rankings, share of voice and competitor movement, and act on what the data shows

Report performance and forecasts to the leadership team

### About You

### Essential

8+ years in SEO, with at least 3 years leading SEO strategy and people

A track record of growing organic revenue in iGaming, affiliate or another highly competitive, regulated vertical

Hands-on depth in technical SEO, and the credibility to work as a peer with engineering

Experience hiring and building a team, or a clear plan for how you'd do it

Working knowledge of UK and US gambling regulation and what it means for content and marketing

Deep understanding and practical application of AI, GEO and the impact on organic search visibility

Commercial sense: you can forecast, build a business case and tie your work to revenue
