SEO Working Student (f/m/d)

About Integral and the Role

Founded in October 2024 by Lukas Zörner and Anil Can Baykal, Integral is committed to redefining how accounting, taxes, and payroll work for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Europe, starting with Germany. Backed by General Catalyst, Cherry Ventures, Puzzle Ventures, and entrepreneurs throughout Europe, Integral is building from the ground up.

As an SEO Working Student, you will play a key role in establishing Integral's organic presence from scratch.

• Develop and maintain internal linking structures to strengthen the authority of Integral’s primary website pages.
• Monitor and report on organic performance using SEO tools by tracking rankings, traffic trends, and keyword movements.
• Stay informed about algorithm updates and SEO best practices, proactively communicating relevant insights to Integral.
• Support technical SEO improvements, including site speed, metadata, structured data, and crawlability, in partnership with the engineering team.

What Makes This Opportunity Unique

• You will build Integral’s organic presence from the beginning, seeing tangible impact from week one.
• Work directly with the Growth Team and founders in a fast-paced, initiative-driven company.
• All your efforts will be directly linked to lead generation and revenue growth, no busywork.
• Experience steep learning curves in a rapidly evolving field, integrating AI-driven search technology.

• Keen interest in search engine mechanics and how AI transforms the SEO landscape.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with content management systems such as Webflow, WordPress, or similar platforms.
