The desk

Careers

A small Athens practice hiring people who actually open the page. Outreach, Greek editorial, and publisher research, not a quota factory dressed up with a careers microsite.

From the editor

We hire people who open the page. Everything else can be taught. If you want a role where the spreadsheet is the work, this is the wrong desk.

The work

An agency job, without the agency fiction

Most link-building careers pages sell culture. This one describes the brief. The practice earns editorial mentions on Greek pages. Our Greek backlink database holds 30,000+ websites, and we reach thousands of those desks each month. The people who do that work are named on the team page.

A strong hire here already knows the difference between a pitch and a blast, between a Greek page and a translated one, and between a metric on a domain and a neighbourhood a sceptical editor would actually accept. We will teach you the file. We will not teach you to pretend.

The desk is small by design. Correspondence is email. Hours run Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 Athens time. Pay is in euros, settled once we know the role and the city, not printed as a slogan.

How the desk runs

What you are walking into

A named desk

The people on the team page plan, pitch, and review every campaign. You will not be a seat in a 200-person ‘delivery centre’.

Athens hours

Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 Athens time. Remote works when the overlap and the workload are real. Email is the channel.

Two languages

Pitches go out in the language of the desk we are addressing. Client correspondence is English or Greek as the brief requires. Translation as a workflow is not the job.

The page is the test

Metrics ride along with the URL because we keep the file current, but they never replace opening it. If you want a role where the spreadsheet is the work, this is the wrong desk.

03 listed · Athens

  1. 01 · Outreach

    Outreach specialist

    Full-time

    Athens, or remote on Athens hours

    Apply for this role

    This desk writes to named editors, in Greek. Our link building database holds over 30,000 Greek websites. The job is the pitch, the follow-up, and the judgment to walk away when the page is wrong.

    You will

    • Read the archive before you write. A pitch that could go to any site goes to no site here.
    • Reach publishers pulled from the Greek file: thousands of conversations a month across the desk, still written one editor at a time.
    • Keep each campaign honest: the live URL, the copy around it, the destination, and whether the sentence really needed the citation.
    • Work in Greek with editors and in English with the people who hired us.

    You bring

    • Native or near-native Greek, plus English that can carry a client thread without theatre.
    • A track record in editorial outreach, digital PR, or publisher relations, not a history of blasting lists.
    • The patience to open a page and the nerve to turn it down.
    • Ease in a small desk. There is no ladder of titles to hide behind.
  2. 02 · Editorial

    Editorial writer

    Full-time or contract

    Athens, or remote on Athens hours

    Apply for this role

    Guest articles and contributed pieces a Greek editor can run without wincing. The sentence has to earn its place on that page. Machine-translated English is not the brief.

    You will

    • Write in Greek for the publication, not for a keyword sheet.
    • Turn a source, a product, or an expert view into something genuinely useful in the piece, not a paragraph of ads with a link tacked on.
    • Hold to Maria's editorial standard: if the host page would not run it unsigned, it is not finished.
    • Revise against the live neighbourhood. A finance desk and a parenting magazine do not speak the same Greek.

    You bring

    • Native Greek, with a background in journalism or long-form trade press.
    • English strong enough to take a brief and ask the right question back.
    • Clips we can open. A folder of unsigned ‘SEO blogs’ is not a clip.
    • Editorial pride: you would sooner kill a sentence than let it ship ugly.
  3. 03 · The file

    Publisher researcher

    Full-time

    Athens, or remote on Athens hours

    Apply for this role

    More than 30,000 Greek sites across a wide range of industries, kept as a map rather than a catalogue of slots. Someone has to keep it current, read the archive, and decide what still belongs in the neighbourhood.

    You will

    • Prospect and review Greek publishers across national, Athens, and regional titles.
    • Keep Ahrefs DR and traffic, Moz DA, and Majestic TF current, and then still open the page.
    • Flag neighbourhoods that have turned bad: junk drawers, language mismatches, pages nobody would read.
    • Brief outreach with a short note on why a title is in scope, not a dump of domains.

    You bring

    • Greek and English. You will be reading both, daily.
    • Experience in link prospecting, publisher research, or investigative SEO.
    • Ease with Ahrefs, Moz, and Majestic as filing columns rather than as the decision.
    • A bias toward fewer, better rows.

Always open

Write anyway

How we hire, without the theatre

  1. You write

    Use the form, or email hr@linkbuildinggreece.com with your CV. Send a letter, a URL to work we can open, and the role.

  2. We read

    A letter that could have gone to any agency gets treated that way. Specific beats volume. We reply when there is a conversation worth having.

  3. A conversation

    In English or Greek. About pages you have shipped, editors you have written to, and what you would refuse. Not a bank of HR questions.

  4. A short paid sample

    A pitch, a page review, or a piece of Greek copy: paid, scoped, and close to the real work. We do not ask for a free test.

Send a short letter, a link to work we can open, and the role you want. You can also email your CV to hr@linkbuildinggreece.com. Please do not attach a file here; if we need one, we will ask for it.

Questions we hear first

The practice is based in Athens. Remote works for people who can keep Athens hours and already operate in Greek-language markets. If you need a visa sponsored from another continent with no overlap, that is not a fit we can invent.
