SEO Specialist, Remote

About Us

At BJAK, we are driven by impact. Our mission is to make everyday use cases, especially in financial services, more efficient, affordable, and accessible through technology and innovation.

Headquartered in Malaysia, with operations in China, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore, we are the largest insurance portal in Southeast Asia, serving millions of users through Bjak.com. Our platform helps individuals find high-value, comprehensive insurance, and we are rapidly expanding into other financial services. We are currently building next-generation AI systems to drive this growth and are seeking mission-aligned individuals who excel in fast-paced, high-impact environments.

About The Role

We are seeking a results-oriented SEO Specialist to lead our efforts in driving organic traffic, improving search visibility, and optimizing conversion across both global and local markets. This is a highly impactful role where you’ll collaborate with product, content, and engineering teams to shape and execute our SEO strategy.

You’ll be hands-on with both strategic direction and detailed execution, leveraging the latest tools, data, and frameworks to grow performance through scalable, sustainable SEO practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute comprehensive SEO strategies across technical, on-page, and off-page areas.
• Conduct keyword research, competitor analysis, and site audits to uncover growth opportunities.
• Optimize metadata, page structure, content hierarchy, and internal linking for maximum SEO impact.
• Collaborate with content, marketing, and development teams to align SEO with broader business goals.
• Monitor and analyze performance metrics using tools such as Google Analytics, Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Screaming Frog.
• Address technical SEO issues related to site crawlability, mobile responsiveness, site speed, and structured data.
• Stay current with evolving search engine algorithms, and proactively adjust strategies as needed.
• Support marketing campaigns with SEO insights and recommendations to maximize reach and engagement.
  
  

Successful Candidates Have:

• A bias to action - you're able to think strategically but move fast and make things happen.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with engineers, marketers, and designers.
• A tenacious, problem-solving mindset - you stick with challenges until they’re solved and don’t back down easily.
• Sharp analytical skills and a data-driven mindset.
• A bias to detail - you don’t ship sloppy work.
• A high sense of ownership and accountability.
  
  

What We're Looking For:

• You care about the long game - you see SEO as a growth engine, not a checkbox.
• You take initiative and work independently without needing constant direction.
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in fast-moving, high-growth environments.
• You’re collaborative, humble, and care about doing what's best for the team and the business.
• You get your hands dirty. Whether it's optimizing metadata or debugging crawl issues, you’re hands-on and take full ownership of outcomes.
• You keep learning - about search, about users, about what makes content rank and convert.
  
  

Requirements

• 3+ years of proven experience in SEO with strong results in traffic and ranking improvements.
• Solid understanding of SEO principles, search engine algorithms, and best practices.
• Technical SEO knowledge (crawlability, schema markup, site speed, mobile-first indexing).
• Proficiency in SEO tools such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics, SEMrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, etc.
• Experience with CMS platforms such as WordPress, Shopify, or similar.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, content, and marketing teams.
  
  

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with international SEO and geo-targeting strategies.
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as they relate to SEO.
• Experience with GA4, Google Tag Manager (GTM), Looker Studio, or ETL pipelines.
• Exposure to AI tools or automation workflows in marketing.
• Understanding of broader digital growth channels (e.g., paid ads, CRO, content strategy).
