Senior SEO Specialist

About the Position

Mayflower is a technology company building large-scale entertainment products for a global audience. Our platforms serve millions of users worldwide and rank among the top-50 most visited websites globally. For more than 10 years, we've been creating reliable, high-performance solutions at the intersection of product, engineering, and entertainment.

We are looking for a Senior SEO Specialist to own product-related SEO tasks from idea through release. You will turn search opportunities into initiatives and tasks for product and engineering, and confirm that what is delivered works as intended.

Responsibilities

• Identify technical and on-page SEO issues (crawling, indexing, site structure, redirects, canonicals, internal linking, templates, structured data) and initiate product-related tasks when they block organic performance;
• Prepare implementation-ready tasks and recommendations: problem, solution, affected templates or URLs, risks, and acceptance criteria;
• Validate proposed work with the Team Lead and SEO team before it reaches product or engineering;
• Consult product and development on SEO implications of planned features, template changes, and site architecture;
• Participate in estimations and groomings so work is sized, sequenced, and specified well enough to build;
• Analyze search intent, SERP structure, and competitor behavior when it affects product or template decisions;
• Optimize existing page types and templates for rankings, traffic, engagement, and conversions, including titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links, page structure, and content;
• Support content planning with SEO briefs, keyword maps, and optimization guidelines when work touches product surfaces;
• Plan information architecture and landing-page structure for new product or content surfaces;
• Specify and, where appropriate, implement structured data;
• Test implementations after release against agreed acceptance criteria;
• Monitor performance in Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and in-house reporting tools. Track rankings, traffic, indexing, and trends tied to shipped work, not only site-wide averages;
• Prepare concise updates: what moved, what did not, and recommended next product or content steps;
• Stay current with SEO practices and search-engine updates that affect product implementation.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on SEO across on-page, content, and technical work;
• Experience working with high-traffic international and multilingual websites;
• Proven experience turning SEO findings into tickets or requirements that engineering or product teams can implement;
• Comfort participating in agile delivery: grooming, estimation, clarification, and post-release checks;
• Strong understanding of keyword research, search intent, SERP analysis, and competitor research;
• Working knowledge of technical SEO: crawling, indexing, redirects, canonicals, internal linking, site architecture, and template-level changes;
• Experience with Google Search Console, Google Analytics, crawlers, and other SEO tools;
• Ability to analyze SEO data and turn it into a clear recommendation, with an expected effect and a way to verify the release;
• Clear written communication: tickets, briefs, and short performance notes that non-SEO teams can act on;
• Ability to work independently, manage several workstreams, and raise issues early rather than waiting for a fully specified brief.

Nice to Have

• Experience with programmatic SEO or large-scale template optimization;
• Familiarity with Looker Studio, BigQuery, SQL, or another reporting stack;
• Basic scripting (Python or similar) for crawls, log samples, or bulk URL analysis;
• Familiarity with common CMS or front-end delivery setups;
• Awareness of generative search / AI results as a measurement context;
• Experience in SaaS, marketplace, media, or other product-led digital businesses.

We Offer

• EU-based employment contract and a 3-year Cyprus work visa with full support for your relocation and visa processes, including assistance for your family.
• EU passport. Opportunity to obtain an EU passport after 4 years of residence.
• Full relocation package: flights to Limassol for you and your family, a company-covered apartment for the first month, and full relocation support to make your move smooth and hassle-free.

• Professional growth support: language courses, conferences, training programs, and coaching.
• Peer recognition program: receive and share kudos for great work.
• A fully equipped office in Limassol’s city center, with everything you need for deep work and collaboration.
• Free breakfasts and lunches at the office, and an in-house coffee bar with high-quality drinks and a health bar stocked with nutritious snacks.

Benefits are provided in accordance with the company’s policies and eligibility criteria.
