SEO Specialist

Overview:
Corporate Tools is hiring an SEO Specialist for $65,000/year. You will be a traditional company employee. This is a remote position, but if you're near one of our local offices, you're welcome to come hangout with us in-office as well. Our main offices are in Post Falls, ID, and Spokane, WA; we also have satellite offices in Austin, TX, and Salt Lake City, UT. You'll be working 40 hours a week and, of course, enjoy great company benefits.

Also, you'll have a team of writers, front-end devs and designers to bring your schemes to life.
Our ideal candidate will have at least a couple years of experience successfully ranking and competing at a high-level on national terms.
