Implement SEO best practices — including keyword optimization, internal linking, metadata creation, and content structure updates — within WordPress.
Collaborate with internal SMEs and the SEO Manager to ensure all content is compliant, factual, and aligned with TaxAct’s brand voice.
Use content optimization tools like Clearscope or MarketMuse to analyze keyword opportunities and improve content quality scores.
Maintain a rapid publishing cadence, turning around assignments within 3–4 days when needed to capture trending search demand.
Proofread and QA content for grammar, style, and factual accuracy before publishing.
Coordinate with web operations and analytics teams for performance tracking and technical SEO checks.
Required:

Experience writing and editing for web, ideally in a content marketing or SEO role.
Proficiency with WordPress CMS (creating, formatting, and publishing content).
Familiarity with SEO principles, including keyword research, metadata, and on-page optimization.
Strong attention to detail and ability to fact-check and follow brand style guides.
Excellent written communication and organizational skills.
Preferred:

Experience using content optimization tools (e.g., Clearscope, MarketMuse, SurferSEO).
Basic knowledge of U.S. tax concepts or personal finance topics.
Experience working with marketing or editorial teams in a fast-paced environment.
What You’ll Gain

The opportunity to work with a leading digital tax brand and contribute to high-visibility SEO projects during a pivotal legislative season.
Hands-on experience with content strategies tied to major tax law and IRS operational changes.
Collaboration with SEO experts and tax professionals to deliver authoritative, trusted content.
