About Us:

1% Club is an education-led fintech platform that helps people make smarter decisions with their money.
Founded by Sharan Hegde and Raghav Gupta, 1% Club was built on a core belief: financial literacy is the first step to financial independence. That belief built India’s most trusted personal finance education brand, and has since evolved into a fintech platform with an app that helps users invest, plan, and manage their money in one place, powered by AI.

THE ROLE

 

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role. You will own the SEO function — setting the strategy, leading the team, and still producing content yourself. You will report directly to senior leadership and be accountable for organic traffic growth as a core business metric. We are not looking for someone who has read about SEO. We want someone who has grown a fintech’s organic traffic and can show us the numbers.

 

WHAT YOU WILL DO

 

Strategy & Leadership

  • Own the end-to-end SEO strategy for 1% Club — keyword universe, content architecture, topical authority roadmap, and link-building approach

  • Set quarterly organic traffic and ranking targets; build the plan to achieve them

  • Manage and mentor the SEO Writer and SEO Intern — review their work, unblock them, and raise their output quality

  • Conduct full-site technical SEO audits and work with the product/tech team to implement fixes — crawlability, site speed, Core Web Vitals, schema

  • Build and manage a content calendar that is data-driven, commercially aligned, and seasonally aware

  • Develop the internal linking architecture across the full content library

  • Oversee and contribute to a strategic link-building programme

 

Content Production

  • Personally produce high-authority, long-form content on complex finance topics — this is a player-coach role

  • Set and enforce editorial standards: accuracy, SEO best practices, compliance, and voice

  • Review and sign off on all team output before publication

 

Analytics & Reporting

  • Own the SEO performance dashboard — weekly reporting to leadership on traffic, rankings, CTR, and conversion contribution

  • Use Google Search Console, Ahrefs, and SEMrush to diagnose performance drops, identify opportunities, and track competitor movements

  • Run regular content audits — identify pages to refresh, consolidate, or retire

  • Stay current on Google algorithm updates and assess their impact proactively

 

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

 

Non-negotiable

  • Minimum 5 years of SEO experience, with at least 2 years at a fintech company — neobank, wealth platform, insurance aggregator, lending platform, or similar

  • A portfolio of measurable organic growth: traffic numbers, keyword rankings, domain authority improvement — bring the data to the interview

  • Expert-level proficiency in Ahrefs and SEMrush — keyword research, competitor analysis, backlink audits, content gap analysis

  • Hands-on technical SEO capability: you can read a crawl report, interpret Core Web Vitals, and communicate fixes to engineers

  • Deep familiarity with Google Search Console — not just impressions and clicks, but index coverage, manual actions, and search appearance

  • Strong writing ability — you must be able to produce content yourself, not only direct others

  • Working knowledge of personal finance: you understand the products we cover and can write about them accurately

 

Good to Have

  • Experience with regulated content — SEBI, RBI, IRDAI compliance norms for financial content

  • Familiarity with WordPress and Rank Math at an admin level

  • Prior experience building an SEO team from scratch

  • Understanding of conversion rate optimisation and how organic content feeds app downloads or signups
