Senior Link-Building Outreach Specialist (£33K – £40K DOE)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a fast-growing digital marketing agency specialising in the iGaming sector. Our client has recently been recognised with major industry awards for both their client work and workplace culture. They are seeking a Senior Link-Building Outreach Specialist to lead complex campaigns, manage team members, and shape outreach strategy across high-profile accounts.

This is a remote-first role based in the United Kingdom, offering genuine career progression, leadership responsibility, and the chance to work with some of the biggest names in a highly competitive vertical.

Responsibilities

You will own end-to-end link-building campaigns for a portfolio of clients in a scrutinised, competitive outreach environment. Your day-to-day will include:

• Developing and executing strategic link-building plans from research through to placement and performance analysis
• Sourcing high-quality publications and websites aligned to client objectives
• Crafting compelling outreach communications and negotiating placements within budget parameters
• Creating targeted content assets built to editorial standard, designed around what publishers actually want
• Monitoring third-party spend proactively, identifying overspend risks early, and negotiating to stay on target
• Managing and developing direct reports through regular one-to-ones, SMART goal setting, performance reviews, and hands-on guidance
• Owning client accounts end-to-end: delivering transparent monthly updates, strategy sessions, and client meetings
• Presenting campaign insights and performance to clients and internal stakeholders with confidence
• Contributing to agency marketing initiatives including newsletters, blog posts, and client development plans

You will be measured on link diversity targets, content quality and output, third-party spend management, deadline adherence, and outreach effectiveness including open rates, placement success rate, and live links secured.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• 2+ years' experience in off-page SEO and link-building, ideally agency-side
• Proven line management or mentoring experience — you have developed people, not just worked alongside them

• Proficiency with outreach and SEO tools such as BuzzStream, Ahrefs, SEMrush, or equivalent
• Experience managing third-party budgets, tracking spend, flagging risks, and negotiating to stay on target
• Data-driven mindset: you set measurable goals, track performance, and optimise based on results
• Confident presenting to clients and senior stakeholders — you can hold a room and handle difficult questions
• Comfortable using AI tools to support content production and outreach workflows

Desirable:

• Experience in digital PR campaigns
• Solid understanding of SEO or content optimisation
• iGaming or regulated-sector experience (training will be provided if not)
