Dutch-speaking SEO Executive

Job Overview

As a Dutch-speaking SEO Executive, you will be helping to drive organic growth for our Dutch brand. Reporting directly to the Head of SEO, you will manage a balanced portfolio of responsibilities across the three pillars of SEO - On-Page, Off-Page, and Technical - while maintaining a sharp focus on Data Analysis.

You will be responsible for orchestrating projects and ensuring that our strategies are executed effectively across our markets. We are looking for a candidate who is highly organized, understands how to manage moving parts, and knows how to prioritize high-impact tasks over "busy work."

About Play North

We are a diverse and fast-growing online casino operator active in regulated markets with offices based in Malta, Estonia and The Netherlands. You can now join our dynamic, capable and enthusiastic team.

We are the people behind the global casino brands Pikakasino.com and Kansino.nl. We are licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority and Kansspelautoriteit in The Netherlands.

Due to the continued growth and success of our brands, we are now searching for more A class talents to join our mission to build the next iGaming giant.

Are you a self-motivated and dedicated person with an eye for detail? If you get kicks from new challenges in a top professional, yet easy-going and fun, work environment, then we are eager to hear from you!

Responsibilities:

• The Three Pillars: Execute a 360-degree SEO strategy by optimizing on-page content, coordinating off-page authority building, and identifying technical improvements.
• Data & Reporting: Monitor and analyze organic traffic and keyword rankings. You won't just report numbers; you'll explain the "why" behind the trends and provide actionable insights.
• Content Strategy: Translate SEO strategy into detailed content briefs for writers, acting as the native-language gatekeeper for quality and search intent alignment.
• Technical Health: Assist in regular site audits using Screaming Frog. Work with the tech team to ensure schema markup, Core Web Vitals, and indexing issues are prioritized.
• Competitive Intelligence: Keep a pulse on the SEO landscape to reverse-engineer competitor growth tactics and stay ahead of algorithm shifts.
• Outreach Coordination: Manage relationships with external partners and agencies to keep our off-site activities and backlink profile on schedule.
• End-to-End Publishing: Perform "sanity checks" and manage the publishing process in the CMS to ensure every page is perfectly optimized before going live.

Role Requirements:

• Linguistic Proficiency: Native-level fluency in Dutch plus professional English proficiency for internal collaboration.
• Analytical Mind: You enjoy data analysis and have a natural curiosity for finding patterns and explanations for performance shifts.
• SEO Fundamentals: ~1-2 years of hands-on experience in on-page or off-page SEO.
• Toolbox Proficiency: Experience with GA4, Google Search Console, and Screaming Frog as well as third party SEO analytical tools (Ahrefs, Semrush, Wincher or other similar tools).
• Communication: Excellent communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with content and tech teams.

A Note on Our Requirements:

At Playnorth, we value growth mindset and cultural fit as much as technical expertise. We know that the "perfect" candidate doesn't always look like a checklist. If you speak Dutch, have the right attitude, a passion for the search landscape, and most of the skills listed above-but maybe you're missing one specific tool or a few months of experience-we still want to hear from you. If you are driven, analytical, and eager to learn, please apply! We are more interested in your potential and your ability to think critically than in a 100% match on paper.

Additional Bonus Skills:

• Search Evolution: A solid understanding of how Generative AI and AI-driven search results (GEO) are changing the way users find information.
• Technical SEO: Basic understanding of HTML/CSS, SSR/CSR Rendering and Core Web Vitals.

What we offer:

• A hybrid working model.
• Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
• Brand new offices.
• Private parking.
• Private Health insurance.
• Wellness allowance up to €600 per year.
• Employee assistance program with Richmond Foundation.
• Birthday wishes with something special.
• Office lunches and daily nibbles such as fresh fruit and healthy snacks.
• Meal allowance.
• Lots of great company discounts.
