Introduction

Senior SEO Content Specialist (Global SaaS) Cape Town / Johannesburg Hybrid | R480,000 CTC (Negotiable for exceptional talent)

Duties & Responsibilities

One of the fastest-growing global SaaS businesses in its sector is hiring a Senior SEO Content Specialist to help scale organic growth internationally.

This is not a traditional content writing role.

This is an opportunity to join a genuinely global, high-growth SaaS company operating at the intersection of technology, AI, content and performance marketing helping shape content strategy that drives rankings, traffic, pipeline and commercial growth across international markets.

If you know how to turn search intent into revenue-driving content, this may be worth exploring.

Desired Experience & Qualification

Our client is looking for a commercially minded Senior SEO Content Specialist who can blend strategic SEO thinking with exceptional writing and content architecture.

You will help build and optimise high-performing content systems across product-led content, solution pages, comparison pages, landing pages and thought leadership assets designed to perform in both search and emerging AI-driven discovery.

This is a role for someone who thinks beyond “content production” and understands how content contributes to growth.

Key Focus Areas

You will be involved in:

  • Writing and optimising high-quality SEO content for sophisticated B2B audiences
  • Developing structured content briefs from keyword research, search intent and topic clusters
  • Re-optimising existing pages to improve rankings, engagement and conversion performance
  • Building scalable content frameworks, internal linking structures and content templates
  • Supporting AEO / AI search visibility and modern organic search strategies
  • Conducting competitor, SERP and trend analysis to inform content opportunities
  • Using performance data (GA4, GSC, Ahrefs, Semrush or similar) to guide content decisions
  • Creating bottom-of-funnel and product-led content that influences demand generation

 

What We’re Looking For

We’d like to hear from professionals with:

  • 4+ years in SEO content, organic growth or content strategy roles
  • Experience in B2B SaaS, technology, fintech, HR tech or similarly complex sectors
  • Strong hands-on SEO fundamentals (on-page optimisation, keyword strategy, internal linking, topic clustering)
  • Experience developing content briefs and content frameworks, not just writing articles
  • Exposure to tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, GA4, Google Search Console or similar
  • Understanding of performance-led content and conversion-focused SEO
  • Exposure to AI tools, Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) or evolving search/LLM content strategies advantageous

 

Highly Desirable

Experience with any of the below would be particularly attractive:

  • Product-led or bottom-of-funnel SEO content
  • Content re-optimisation / content audit projects
  • Programmatic SEO or scalable content systems
  • Technical or regulated subject matter writing
  • Content performance ownership tied to growth metrics

 

To Apply

As part of your application, please include:

  • Links to pages you have re-optimised or contributed to
  • An SEO content piece you are particularly proud of
  • Examples of content briefs or keyword-led content strategy work (where possible)

 

Why Consider This Role?

  • Join a truly international, fast-scaling SaaS business
  • Work in a high-impact global growth role
  • Exposure to sophisticated SEO, AI and content-led growth initiatives
  • Work with a smart, ambitious and globally distributed team
  • Shape content strategy in a business scaling rapidly across markets

 

This is an excellent opportunity for an SEO/content professional who wants to move beyond “writing roles” into strategic growth impact.
