About the company & team

North Star Network runs 50+ sports and gaming websites in 40+ markets, with over 30M monthly page views. We cover football, basketball, MMA, esports and betting.

We're looking for someone to manage link acquisition across the network. You won't be assigned a single site: you'll work across the portfolio and decide where the budget is best spent, market by market. The SEO team is 16 people, so you'll have colleagues who understand what you do and why a good link costs what it costs.

Relevant and editorial
Published on indexable pages
Compliant with the agreed target URL and anchor

Good at outreach and comfortable negotiating prices
Professional English. Other languages are genuinely useful here given how many markets we operate in
At ease with Excel, SEO tools, and explaining your numbers when someone asks
Sports fan: a plus
