Monaco Solicitors is seeking an experienced SEO content specialist and writer to take ownership of our online content program.

This role extends beyond writing. You will manage the content process from initial research and opportunity analysis through to drafting, legal review, publication and performance reporting.

You will be expected to independently identify what content should be created or improved, rather than relying on the firm to provide topics or detailed briefs. Determining what to write, why it should be written and how it can compete with existing search results is a central part of the role.

You will develop accurate, accessible content across personal injury, medical negligence, workers compensation, superannuation and TPD claims, and estate disputes. You will work closely with our solicitors and marketing team while having the confidence and experience to progress work independently.

Key responsibilities

- Pages with strong search demand that require substantial rewriting

- Independently identify and prioritise worthwhile content opportunities rather than relying on topics being assigned

Desirable
