Read This Before Applying

We filter hard on two things. If you cannot satisfy both, do not apply. We will not bend on either.

1. Proven track record of personally building live backlinks.

Not "I worked on the SEO team." Not "I supported link building campaigns." We want the URL of the placement, the URL of the site you built it for, and the outreach email that won it. If you cannot produce live, verifiable links that you personally secured, do not apply.

2. Proven ability to design and run your own generative AI workflows.

We are not hiring a human autoresponder who sends emails all day. We are hiring someone who already uses ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar tools to build their own systems: prospect research, pitch drafting, reply triage, follow-up cadences. If your current process is "open Gmail, copy template, paste, send, repeat," this role is not for you.

What You'll Do

✓Build prospect lists for each client campaign (SG, regional, and global outlets depending on the client).
✓Use and extend Claude Code workflows to research each prospect's recent content and tailor every pitch.
✓Design your own AI-assisted sub-workflows for reply triage, follow-up sequencing, and relationship tracking.
✓Write the final pitch. Claude drafts, you edit, you send. Quality control is on you.
✓Manage replies, follow-ups, and negotiate placements (guest posts, niche edits, digital PR mentions, resource page links).
✓Report weekly on prospects contacted, reply rate, links secured, and DR/traffic of placements.
✓Target volume: 30 to 50 highly personalised pitches per day.

3. Link Building Track Record

This is the section we care about most. Vague answers = automatic rejection. We will click every link you give us.

List AT LEAST 5 live backlinks you personally secured *

For each link, give us: (1) URL of the placement, (2) URL the link points to, (3) the outreach email you sent to win it (paste it in), (4) approximate month and year it went live. Use a clear numbered format.

Scenario: We just signed a B2B SaaS client in the workplace wellness space. They want to rank for "employee wellness programs Singapore". Target: 10 contextual backlinks at DR 40+ in the first 90 days. Walk us through exactly what you would do, week by week. *

Roughly 200 to 400 words.

4. Generative AI Fluency

We are not hiring a human autoresponder. We need someone who already builds with AI. "I use it sometimes" is not enough.

Which AI tools do you use daily, and what for? *

e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Claude Code, n8n, Zapier, Make. Be specific about what task each tool handles for you.

Describe ONE AI-powered workflow you have personally built or extended. The problem, the tools chained together, and the measurable outcome (time saved, lift in reply rate, etc). *

Roughly 150 to 250 words. Screenshots welcome - paste image URLs if you have them hosted somewhere.

How comfortable are you in a terminal? *

You will use Claude Code (a CLI agent) daily. We train you on it, but a starting point matters.
