The Role

Legend is hiring a Principal Organic Specialist to help shape the future of organic growth across our Sports brands.

We're looking for someone who brings deep SEO expertise, fresh thinking and the drive to challenge existing approaches. You'll identify opportunities others might miss, experiment with new ideas and turn insights into measurable business results.

As AI continues to reshape search, you'll help us explore emerging opportunities and evolve our SEO strategies. You'll join an experienced SEO team, bringing fresh thinking, initiative and a hands-on approach to driving results, while sharing your expertise and helping others grow.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, testing ideas and making things happen - not just recommending what others should do.

In this role, we value diverse perspectives and encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed.

\nYour Impact

• Drive organic growth: Identify high-impact opportunities and deliver SEO initiatives that improve visibility, traffic and commercial performance.
• Challenge and innovate: Bring fresh perspectives, question existing approaches and introduce new ideas that move our SEO strategy forward.
• Shape the future of AI search: Explore, test and develop approaches to AIO/AEO, helping us adapt to changing search behaviours and emerging platforms.
• Turn insights into results: Use data, competitive intelligence and experimentation to uncover opportunities, prioritize investments and demonstrate measurable impact.
• Lead from the front: Take ownership of complex initiatives from strategy through execution, testing and optimization, working closely with Product, Engineering and Content.
• Elevate the team: Share expertise, coach others and encourage a culture of curiosity, experimentation and continuous improvement.

What You'll Bring

• Extensive SEO experience, working with large, complex, or content-heavy websites in highly competitive markets.
• A proven track record of delivering measurable organic growth, with clear examples of projects you've personally led and the results achieved.
• Strong technical SEO fundamentals, including site architecture, crawling, indexation, on-page optimization and performance analysis.
• Experience using SEO tools and data to uncover opportunities, diagnose issues and inform decisions.
• A naturally curious, self-driven mindset with a genuine interest in experimenting, building and testing new approaches.
• Knowledge of emerging AI search trends (AIO/AEO), with some practical experience exploring or testing opportunities in this space.
• Experience influencing stakeholders, sharing expertise and coaching others, with the confidence to challenge existing thinking.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in sports betting, iGaming, affiliate marketing or digital publishing.
• Experience leading small teams or mentoring SEO professionals.
