United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m a senior content editor with 25+ years of editorial and content experience, with recent senior-level SEO and content management work. I bring a strong mix of journalism, editing, publishing, SEO, and CMS skills, and I’ve adapted across print, digital, and e-commerce sectors.
I’ve optimised digital-first stories end to end—sharpening headlines, using effective imagery, and supporting discovery through social media and internal linking. Most recently as a Senior Gambling Content Editor, I managed and mentored a team and increased organic traffic by developing SEO-led content strategies through keyword and competitor research, improving rankings through on-page SEO best practices.
