Re-posted 19 days ago


Job description

Come join VisitorsCoverage, one of Silicon Valley's most successful InsurTech companies, certified as a Great Place to Work®!
We are looking for a full-time SEO Manager (Content) to join our Marketing team. In this role, you'll own our organic search strategy and drive meaningful traffic growth through a combination of hands-on SEO execution and high-quality, consumer-focused content creation. You'll be the person who lives in SEMrush and Ahrefs in the morning and can write a compelling, search-optimized blog post in the afternoon - someone who is equally fluent in keyword research and storytelling.
If you thrive in a fast-paced, execution-focused environment, geek out on search engine algorithm updates, and take pride in writing content that actually ranks - we want to hear from you.
This is a hybrid position (4 days in office, 1 day remote). We are located in Santa Clara, California, and are looking for local candidates only.
Candidates with authorization to work in the US only.
What We Do:
VisitorsCoverage is an Insurtech company, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, revolutionizing the way travelers search, compare, purchase, and manage their travel insurance. Imagine a place where buying travel insurance is as easy as ordering an item from your favorite online retailer. You know exactly what the benefits are and what each word on the coverage document means, and you are able to zip through the checkout process. We are obsessed with simplifying Travel Insurance! We wake up everyday thinking of new ways to meet the same expectations that users have from their online retailers and delivery or streaming services. We are a team of people who counter the thought that insurance is boring and love the challenge of delighting our users at every step of their decision-making process.
If this sounds like the perfect role and workplace for you, we encourage you to apply for this position! VisitorsCoverage is on a mission to hire only the best, and we are committed to providing exceptional employee experiences with meaningful work and true work/life balance.

  • Create and maintain a streamlined quarterly content calendar aligned to business goals and organic growth targets
  • Partner with and delegate content assignments to an in-house Content Specialist and a network of external freelance writers - providing clear briefs, editorial direction, and quality oversight to ensure all content meets VisitorsCoverage's standards before publication

  • Proven track record of driving organic traffic growth through keyword research, on-page optimization, and content strategy
