PRIMARY PURPOSE

This role is ideal for an early-career digital marketer who wants to build a strong foundation in SEO, content optimisation, and customer-journey thinking within a premium global brand.

The SEO & Digital Content administrator supports the SEO and digital teams by publishing, optimising, and maintaining website content across the Wilderness digital ecosystem. The role goes beyond basic CMS administration: the successful candidate will actively contribute to keyword research, on-page optimisation, content structure, and performance improvement, while learning how SEO supports brand storytelling, discoverability, and conversion.

Working closely with the Group Head of SEO, Website Manager, and wider marketing teams, this role plays a key part in ensuring that content is accurate, well-structured, search-optimised, and aligned to Wilderness’ brand standards. It suits someone who is curious, methodical, detail-oriented, and motivated to develop specialist SEO skills over time.

Experience or interest in conservation, tourism, or travel marketing is advantageous, as content must always be fact-checked, on brand, and contextually accurate.
