Friday Drop: 7 remote SEO roles for the weekend apply list

Hey,

It's Friday. Before you log off, here are 7 remote SEO roles worth a CV this weekend.

Two are link-building specialist roles (rare — most agencies bury this under "SEO generalist"), one is a director-level role at an agency people actually know, and one is a part-time gig if you're stacking contracts.

Ranked by how interesting I think they are 👇

Remote · Posted ~3 days ago · Senior level

Rankings.io is a legal SEO agency with a strong reputation in the niche. "Senior link building specialist" as a standalone role is rare — most agencies make you do everything. If link building is your wedge, this is the one to apply to first.

Anywhere/Worldwide · Contract · USD

Sure Oak has been around forever and runs a real link building operation. Contract role, fully global. The word "organized" in the title is a tell — they want someone who can run campaigns end-to-end without hand-holding. Good fit if you've already managed outreach campaigns from scratch.

Bonus: Sure Oak is also hiring a part-time SEO Specialist. Comment "Acorn" on their LinkedIn post to get details.

Worldwide, fully remote · Junior level · USD (range not posted)

Apollo Digital has been fully remote since 2019, which means their async/remote workflow is actually battle-tested. Junior level, so good entry point if you have 1–2 years of outreach under your belt and want to go full-time on link building.

Remote across 12+ countries · Posted ~3 days ago

ClickOut runs in the affiliate/iGaming space — high-volume SEO at scale. The "12+ countries" hiring footprint is unusual; most "remote" jobs quietly mean US or EU only. Worth a shot if you're outside those zones.

Remote · 2+ years experience · Full-time

Smaller agency, generalist SEO role covering on-page, off-page, technical, and link building. Good fit if you want broader scope than pure link building. Salary not posted — worth asking upfront.

→ Apply: [email protected] (send resume + portfolio)

$55K–$75K USD · Remote · Posted ~3 days ago

Not strictly SEO, but content + SEO overlap is real. Givelify is a fintech for nonprofits — established product, structured comp, salary actually posted (rare). Apply if you write well and want to move toward content-led growth.

→ Apply here

Remote · Part-time

Comment "Acorn" on Sure Oak's LinkedIn post and they'll DM you details. Good for stacking with another contract or if you're testing agency life on the side.

Three out of seven are link-building roles. That's unusual — agencies are clearly feeling the pinch on outreach capacity. If you've been on the fence about specializing in link building vs. staying generalist, the market is telling you something.

That's it for this Friday. See you Tuesday.
