Growth Marketing Intern (SEO + Link Building)
An international brief
Recruiters and students from Southeast Asia, the Gulf and East Africa land on our pages every day, which is why this particular role is open worldwide rather than to India alone. The work genuinely benefits from someone standing outside our usual bubble.
Where you'll spend your time
Digital PR and link acquisition, mostly. Over six months you will find publications that already cover student careers and early hiring, pitch them something actually worth linking to, and build the outreach list yourself rather than buying one. Alongside that you will help produce two original data studies drawn from our own listings database, the kind of thing a journalist will cite without being asked twice, and then track which placements moved rankings and which merely looked impressive in a report.
We work asynchronously by default. You write a weekly update, we hold one overlapping call, and the rest of your schedule belongs to you. You will need to write clearly, chase politely, and keep a tracker honest even when the numbers are unflattering. If you have never done outreach before, that is expected. If a lot of people ignoring you would wreck your week, this one will be hard.

- Build a qualified outreach list of sites covering student careers and early hiring
- Pitch editors and writers with a specific, relevant reason to link
