About Us

At The Global Talent Co., we provide opportunities to work with leading innovative technology companies worldwide, offering stable employment, competitive compensation, career growth, and access to a community of 25,000+ like-minded marketing professionals.

About the Company

You will be joining a small, AI-first digital publisher that runs evidence-based review and comparison websites, monetised through affiliate partnerships. The team is focused on an independent publishing project in the prop trading space reading the fine print on evaluation challenges, costs, drawdown limits, payout conditions and trading rules so that traders know exactly what they are signing up for. Editorial standards are strict: ratings can't be bought, every claim is checked against primary sources, and accuracy comes before volume.

The Role

As Senior Project Manager, you will run the project end to end owning day-to-day delivery and content quality across research, content, SEO, website improvements and commercial initiatives. This is a full-ownership role: goals are agreed with you, and how you get there is your call. You choose the methods, the tools and the order of work, and you decide whether a piece meets the editorial standard or goes back for revision.

You'll work closely with the CEO, who sets business priorities, alongside a specialist SEO advisor, a developer and a Social Media & Community Manager whose output you hold to the same editorial standard. The project is AI-first: research, briefs, drafts, data checks and reporting start in AI tools by default, and you are the human who answers for every published word. This role is ideal for an independent, results-driven operator who measures themselves on outcomes and keeps going until the page ranks and the numbers move.

Key Responsibilities

Run delivery: keep a clear backlog and weekly priorities, manage capacity, clear blockers and follow every piece of work through to an agreed standard

Hold the quality line review drafts written by people or models for clarity, structure, accuracy, originality and usefulness, fix the simple things and give precise revision feedback on the rest

Turn SEO recommendations into briefs, content improvements, internal links and page updates, and check each finished page meets search intent and the brief

Design, document and maintain the AI workflows behind research, drafting, updates and quality checks, with a human check wherever errors could reach a reader

Keep content current manage research, drafting, revisions and WordPress preparation for reviews, comparisons, guides and offers, and make sure verified changes to fees, rules or payout terms reach every affected page and table

Translate requirements into clear developer tickets with acceptance criteria, coordinate priorities and test delivered changes on staging

Check finished pages for source-data consistency, links and desktop/mobile presentation, then coordinate release

Align research and publishing dates with the social content calendar and review social output for accuracy and consistency

Report on delivery, content quality, traffic, search and commercial performance using GA4, Search Console and affiliate reports, and act on what you find

Ideal Candidate

Proven record of running SEO projects you owned the plan and the delivery and can show before-and-after numbers from Search Console, GA4 or Ahrefs

AI-first way of working: you use Claude, ChatGPT or similar tools daily for research, drafting, analysis and quality checks, know where their output fails, and own the final result

Track record of owning delivery on content-led digital projects, with clear examples of personal responsibility and results

Strong editorial judgment and excellent written English you can spot weak, repetitive or unsupported content, explain what needs fixing and improve it

Working SEO knowledge across search intent, content structure, internal linking and content updates; confident with WordPress, spreadsheets, source data, GA4 and Search Console

Experience managing contributors, deadlines and handoffs in a PM tool such as Notion, ClickUp or Asana, plus enough technical understanding to brief a developer and test changes against requirements

Familiarity with prop trading concepts (evaluations, drawdown, payout conditions, trading restrictions), or evidence that you learn technical niches quickly

Able to work with consistent overlap with CET business hours

Independent thinker who forms their own view, pushes back when the evidence says otherwise, and starts on the next problem without waiting to be asked

High achiever who is comfortable in a role that isn't a 9-to-5 and measures success in results
