Job Description

The Challenge

To scale, optimize, and dominate global search, we need an SEO architect who understands that SEO isn’t just marketing—it’s an engineering challenge, a data puzzle, and a global growth lever.

This is a high-impact role where you will own Rome2Rio’s search visibility, organic growth, and technical SEO infrastructure. You’ll work across product, engineering, and content teams to embed SEO performance into every aspect of our platform.

Your mission: Expand Rome2Rio’s reach across diverse geographies through technical excellence—not just content creation.

What You'll Own

  • Technical SEO Architecture: Collaborate with engineering to implement site architecture, page load optimization, mobile-friendliness, schema markup, and URL structuring.
  • Data & AI-Driven Strategy: Develop innovative SEO strategies using advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning to drive organic growth.
  • International SEO Framework: Build scalable systems for multilingual and multi-regional SEO targeting.
  • Experimentation & Testing: Lead A/B tests and organic engagement experiments to continuously optimize search performance.
  • Cross-Platform Integration: Work with Omio teams to ensure consistent SEO implementation across platforms.
  • Performance Analytics: Use advanced tools to extract meaningful insights, track KPIs, and drive strategic decisions.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years in SEO, with at least 2 years in a senior role (preferably in travel, e-commerce, or technology).
  • Strong technical expertise in site architecture, web performance, and data integration.
  • Experience with SEO tools (Search Console, Ahrefs, crawlers) and proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals.
  • Proven ability to analyze data and implement technical SEO solutions at scale.
  • International SEO expertise—managing multilingual, multi-regional search strategies.
  • Leadership skills to influence product and engineering teams.
  • Passion for travel, technical innovation, and AI-driven approaches.

This role prioritizes technical SEO expertise over traditional content management. We're looking for a strategist who can architect solutions, leverage data, and drive Rome2Rio's mission to be the most comprehensive travel planning tool globally.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
