YouTube SEO Intern (Remote) fixed price

Pearl lemon HQ: London, England, United Kingdom Remote job Feb 11

Are you curious about how some YouTube videos rank on page one while others disappear completely?

Do you want hands-on experience understanding how the YouTube algorithm works and how search-driven content generates inbound leads?

If you’re interested in learning YouTube SEO through live execution — not theory — this internship will give you practical exposure to ranking strategy, metadata optimisation, and algorithm-driven performance.

We are hiring a YouTube SEO Intern to support the optimisation and ranking of video content across multiple channels within the Pearl Lemon ecosystem.

This is a performance-focused, analytical role. It is not related to video editing or thumbnail design. Your focus will be on improving search visibility, watch time, engagement metrics, and discoverability.

Pearl Lemon Group operates across digital marketing, sales, PR, accounting, consultancy, recruitment, game development, and food & beverage.

We are a UK-registered company (Company No. 10411490) headquartered in London EC1V 2NX. Our 100+ team works remotely across the UK, USA, Spain, Egypt, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and more.

We operate with the speed of a startup while maintaining structured systems and measurable performance standards. Our founder, Deepak Shukla, is an ex-Deloitte consultant, ultramarathon runner, and 3× TEDx speaker known for building companies quickly and developing talent even faster.

If you value ownership, transparency, and continuous learning, you will thrive here.

Your objective will be to improve the search visibility and ranking performance of YouTube videos through structured optimisation.

Responsibilities include:

  • Conducting YouTube keyword research
  • Optimising titles, descriptions, tags, and timestamps
  • Structuring playlists to improve session duration
  • Monitoring rankings and tracking keyword performance
  • Analysing watch time, retention, CTR, and engagement
  • Auditing underperforming videos and recommending improvements
  • Identifying ranking gaps and growth opportunities
  • Supporting SEO-focused description writing
  • Staying updated on YouTube algorithm changes

This role is data-driven and requires attention to detail and analytical thinking.

  • How YouTube search ranking works in practice
  • How keyword research differs for video platforms
  • How watch time and retention impact rankings
  • How to structure channel architecture strategically
  • How YouTube integrates into a broader inbound marketing strategy
  • How to track performance metrics and adjust optimisation efforts

You will work on live channels and see measurable ranking results.

  • Fully remote structure
  • Flexible schedule management
  • Access to 500+ hours of training materials
  • Productivity and performance training
  • Career growth opportunities
  • Leadership development pathways
  • Monthly recognition awards
  • Exposure to multi-sector clients
  • 4.6★ Glassdoor rating (80+ reviews)
  • Strong internal promotion culture

Many interns report gaining more practical knowledge here in 3 months than during years of academic study.

  • Students or recent graduates interested in SEO or digital marketing
  • Individuals who enjoy research and data analysis
  • Self-starters comfortable working independently
  • Detail-oriented thinkers focused on measurable outcomes
  • Those curious about how search ecosystems and algorithms function

This is not a creative production role. It is structured, analytical, and performance-based.
