SEO Analyst
Car shopping is complicated. At CarGurus, we use data and technology to make it simple, giving people the tools they need to confidently find, buy, finance, or sell a car. The best part? Our work makes a real impact. We’re the most-visited car-shopping site in the US and we are growing fast in our international markets. Ready to come along for the ride?
The SEO team is looking to bring on a dedicated analyst for our UK market to assist with competitor research, technical SEO, content roadmap, and more. You’ll report directly to the Head of SEO at CarGurus and play a key role in driving profitability in this market. There is a lot of flexibility in this position, and plenty of opportunities to become an internal subject matter authority in a number of key areas vital to CarGurus’ ongoing success.
What You’ll Do:
- Conduct regular competitive analysis of key players in the automotive research and marketplace segment
- Monitor site wide SEO performance and keyword opportunities
- Work closely with our Content team to develop timely, high-ranking articles and research
- Assist the Product & Engineering teams in SEO road-mapping and prioritization exercises, especially in international markets
Who You Are:
- 2+ years of marketing, SEO, or analytics experience (ideally some combination of all three)
- Strong critical thinking skills - there’s a lot of “fluff” about what works and what doesn’t in the world of SEO, and you need to be able to recognize the difference
- Ability to learn new and technical topics quickly and thoroughly
- Passion for data, and testing new features or improvements
- Ability to effectively liaise with internal teams, and adapt your style to varying personality types
- Existing knowledge of UK market (in any industry) a plus, but not required
- Good sense of humor and loves working in an unstructured, fast-paced environment
CarGurus Culture:
Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes, but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.
At CarGurus, we invest in our people’s professional growth with everything from learning and development programs to tuition reimbursement. Want to work on projects that expand your skill set without sacrificing your work/life balance? You got it. We also strive to provide perks and benefits that employees actually care about like free lunch, commuter subsidies, and more. That includes equity in the company—our way of showing that we want you here for the long haul.
We work hard every day to build the world’s most trusted and transparent automotive marketplace, but trust and transparency don’t just apply to our consumers. They extend to our talent, too. We aim to create a workplace where everyone feels they can bring the ultimate expression of themselves and their potential—where you don’t just fit, you thrive. We don’t discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
