Content Strategist and SEO Specialist growing fintech/crypto organic traffic through end-to-end content systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Content Strategist and SEO Specialist with 3+ years driving organic growth in fintech and crypto. I build content systems end-to-end—from keyword research and editorial frameworks to AI-assisted production workflows—and oversee them from strategy to publication.
In my most recent role, I owned the content strategy and editorial direction across four high-traffic financial websites covering forex, stocks, crypto, and copy trading. I managed up to six writers through Asana, then streamlined to a core team of four, keeping production aligned with our content calendar and performance goals.
I lead end-to-end content management and content marketing execution, collaborating closely with an SEO Manager on performance monitoring and coordinating with designers via Slack. I develop writing guidelines and editorial standards that help teams produce consistent, on-brand content at scale, while I simplify complex financial concepts for both beginner and expert audiences.
My SEO work is built on search-intent execution: I run keyword research and topic clustering using Ahrefs, optimize broker review pages with Google Search Console insights, and strengthen site architecture with internal linking. I also delivered measurable results—15–20% organic traffic growth—and led a localization project converting 50–100 guide and review articles into 15+ European languages using DeepL over 2–3 months.
