- Independently take part in new business pitches and other one-off client projects
- Track performance, analyze data, and provide regular reports to clients, emphasizing important metrics and suggestions for how to improve
- Stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices in organic search and adapt strategies accordingly

## WHAT YOU’LL BRING
