Join our established search engine optimisation (SEO) team in Sheffield, taking on a new role focused on online outreach and PR-focused content creation. Working in our Sheffield office alongside existing SEO specialists in the marketing team, you will enhance the visibility of our website in Google Search and LLM responses.

In this role, you will both play a core part in implementing our existing SEO strategy and will help us adapt to changes in customer behaviour brought about by AI with a range of PR and outreach related activities. A typical day will see you find, contact, and ultimately write articles for suitable third-party publications, promoting Ossila products and discussing related topics.

Alongside this, you will create PR-style articles for our own website to highlight product benefits and promote our brand values and customer-friendly approach to doing business. You will also help manage internal link structures across our website, and as you progress in the role, will have the opportunity to learn how to optimize pages for search engines and how to analyse on-site and off-site SEO performance to become a full-spectrum SEO marketing specialist.

This is a fantastic time for someone to join an in-house SEO team and grow with an exciting high-tech company as we pave the way to the next generation of solar cells, displays, and electronics.

The Role

Your primary responsibility will be to promote the Ossila brand and range of products across third-party websites to enhance the authority of our website and promote the Ossila brand.

Day-to-day responsibilities will evolve over time, but will include:

Identifying and reaching out to relevant websites, industry publications, and conferences to establish valuable partnerships to ensure accurate and prominent visibility on the web
Working with the team to produce enticing content that showcases Ossila products, discusses topics relevant to our mission, or directly promotes our products or values
Implementing our internal linking strategy to help customers and bots find our products
Writing high-quality PR content, such as news posts, to promote our achievements
Helping to manage and grow an expansive website, collaborating and learning with the team as we work together to help grow the business

About You

We are looking for someone who is interested in science (or has a scientific background) and is not afraid to learn and write about new topics.

You either have relevant experience or are looking for a challenge and have a strong desire to develop existing writing skills and pursue a career in SEO and marketing
You hold a STEM degree or a degree in an essay-based subject such as journalism or English (or any other degree paired with a demonstrable writing ability and experience)
You are a strong communicator and would be comfortable establishing and maintaining relationships with third parties, pitching and negotiating mutually beneficial outcomes
You approach your work in an organised and adaptable way, can keep track of multiple different projects, and can prioritise these according to the needs of the business
You enjoy being part of a team, foster a collaborative environment, and can reliably commute to Attercliffe, Sheffield for this full-time, on-site position

Why Work at Ossila Sheffield

Joining our team means you become part of a forward-thinking organisation that values innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. At our Sheffield site, we offer:

Competitive salaries with regular performance-based pay reviews
A long-running, discretionary profit share scheme
24 days holiday per annum plus bank holidays
Regular tea & cake company catch-ups
Free on-site parking with marked bays
Secure bike storage and shower facilities
Open-plan, collaborative office/lab space

Working together in-person is an essential part of Ossila. We value the collaborative, knowledge-sharing moments that happen over a cuppa, and this is why our roles are office based. If you are someone who shares this perspective and are enthusiastic about joining Ossila in our Sheffield office, we want to hear from you.
