Junior SEO Specialist (Contract) in Kraków at Cloudinary

We're building a small, focused execution pod inside Growth Marketing to ship SEO and content experiments at high cadence for a specific product line. This role is one of three on the pod. You'll work directly with our SEO lead and our growth director, alongside an ABM/Paid specialist and a GEO/AI visibility specialist.

This is an execution role. You'll be measured on what you ship and what ranks — not on slide decks, strategy frameworks, or audit reports. If you love getting pages live, climbing the SERP, and seeing real movement on rankings, you'll thrive here.

• Rewrite and refresh existing pages based on what's working — title tags, headers, intros, internal links, schema.

• Publish new pages targeting specific keyword clusters we've already prioritized.

• Optimize pages against the patterns of competitors who outrank us, including ones who do so with fewer backlinks.

• Ship two pieces of work per day on average — refreshes, new pages, or optimization passes.

• Outreach for backlinks on priority pages — listicles, guest posts, resource pages, partner placements.

• Identify content gaps where competitors are getting links and we're not.

• Manage and grow our backlink profile with tools like PressWhizz, BuzzStream, or similar.

• Monitor keyword rankings weekly for the pages you've shipped.

• Log every experiment in the team tracker — hypothesis, change made, result.

• Write short async recaps on what moved, what didn't, and why.

• One to three years of hands-on SEO or content execution experience — agency, in-house, or freelance.

• You've personally edited pages, published content, and managed outreach — not just briefed someone else.

• You move fast. A 'refresh and ship' takes you hours, not days.

• Comfortable with at least one major SEO tool — Ahrefs, Semrush, or similar — for keyword research and competitive analysis.

• Familiar with a CMS — WordPress, Webflow, or similar.

• Can read Google Search Console data and turn it into action.

• Bonus: experience with structured data, schema markup, or technical SEO basics.

• Strong written English. You can produce or substantially edit a 1,500-word page that doesn't need heavy reworking.

• Direct, clear, and brief in writing. We don't reward long emails.

• Comfortable working asynchronously across time zones.

• You'd rather ship and learn than plan and wait.

• You want a role with clear weekly targets and visible outcomes.

• You're comfortable with feedback loops that are fast and direct.

After 90 days, a strong contributor in this role will have shipped a consistent volume of refreshed and new content week after week, moved a meaningful number of priority keywords into top rankings, and contributed to qualified inbound from organic search. We'll define specific targets together in week one — but the shape is: shipped volume, ranking movement, and qualified inbound.
