Job Description:

We’re looking for an Experienced Manager of SEO who is obsessed with the latest SEO developments and how they can impact their clients.

Our SEO Manager needs to have experience in writing 360-degree SEO strategies that incorporate content and on-page tactics, outreach and link building, and technical SEO.

Paying from £35,000 to £50,000 (DOE) with a bonus based on client upsells and working on new potential clients.

We’re not expecting someone to come in and do it all. We have fully functioning teams who are experts in building links and creating content. What we need is someone to orchestrate the band, so to speak, someone to direct our expert delivery teams against a strategy that is in harmony with our clients’ expected results.

We need someone who not only has a love for SEO but the passion and confidence in their own abilities to be accountable for client performance.

About us

Specialising in SaaS SEO fueled by a combination of human expertise, data analysis, and automation.

Our skills lie in the strategic use of content, SEO, large-scale outreach, and link building to get our clients organic results that match paid performance channels.

We’re about finding the leanest, most efficient, and effective routes to get there. Forget the old agency adage of ‘pulling a late one’ - we’re all about working smarter, not harder while respecting our colleagues’ work-life balance.

About you

You will be client-facing when required but as you’ll be working with the client manager, you’ll not need to do any account management. Instead, you’ll be the subject matter expert in the room, brought on to talk through what’s needed to deliver results.

You’ll also need to pick up some hands-on technical SEO work, that might include anything from a site health check to a domain migration, but you’ll have executives to support with this work. This also means you’ll have the ability to train other SEOs and help improve our processes.

• A minimum of 3 years of previous or current experience as an SEO at a specialist or equivalent level, and be able to demonstrate your knowledge/experience.
• Awareness of link building and experience with these types of campaigns is very beneficial.
• Agency background - ideally 2 years within an SEO agency.
• Worked on enterprise-level SEO or SEO budgets over £7k per month.
• Must possess great interpersonal skills and be able to connect with people from international and diverse backgrounds.

Responsibilities of the role include:

• Working with clients to define their KPIs to create the correct SEO strategy to achieve the defined KPIs.
• Developing complete strategies for our SaaS clients that incorporate on-page SEO, content production, technical SEO, and link building.
• Delegating work to our internal stakeholders, whether they be content writers, outreach, technical, or SEO executives, to ensure all resources are working in line with your strategy and delivering results.
• In-depth keyword research and analysis.
• In-depth SERP analysis.
• Defining the correct content approaches for our clients, identifying not only what keywords we should rank for to deliver results but also what type of content we need to create and how to get that content to rank.
• Deep work in spreadsheets, including keyword research, understanding keyword positioning within the customer funnel, and assessing competitiveness against client budgets.
• Creating client reports (preferably Data Studio, but open to other solutions).
• Training new strategists and identifying knowledge or skill gaps, proposing solutions to fill those gaps.
• Forecasting and projecting work needs, collaborating with the project manager on resource planning.
• Working with the head of operations to improve current processes and develop new ones.
• Collaborating with the client manager on client retention and upselling presentations.
• Participating in pitches to onboard new clients.
• Being recognized as an authority within the team on SEO and supporting team development.

Our benefits include:

• 31 days of holidays (including bank holidays and Christmas shutdown).
• Additional days per year of service, up to 8 days.
• Flexitime.
• Cycle to work scheme.
• Excellent maternity, paternity, and adoption packages.
• Monthly professional development planning.
• Option to work abroad for up to 3 months.
• Regular team incentives and annual get-togethers.
