WebstaurantStore, the world’s largest online restaurant supply company, is hiring for a full-time SEO Analyst to join our data-driven SEO team. This role is meant for a curious, ambitious, results-driven individual who can support the SEO Team and help grow our organic traffic.

The SEO Analyst’s responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Use a variety of external tools and internal data to analyze categorization, optimization, and organic search performance.

• Perform ad hoc research of algorithm updates, the efficacy of site features, and areas of opportunity within organic search.
• Leverage your strategic, tactical, and analytical skills in a highly collaborative setting, working side-by-side with other analysts, writers, and specialists who possess a wide range of skills.
• Stay up-to-date with SEO, search engine, and internet marketing industry trends and developments.

The candidate must possess the following qualities:

• A strong work ethic. The SEO Analyst is expected to complete daily and weekly tasks independently, while also setting their own goals and seeking opportunities to bring more traffic to our massive e-commerce site.
• Critical thinking. Search engine algorithms change daily and strategies may not work from one day to the next. As a result, we need a curious individual who loves to dive in, experiment, and find the best solutions.

• Strong communication skills. This role requires the ability to share ideas and speak to non-experts about what we do. The ideal candidate is well-spoken and able to talk confidently about their work.
• Desire to learn. Success in SEO relies on not only on analysis, but also the ability to test hypotheses, draw connections, visualize data, and communicate clearly with colleagues and stakeholders.
