Looking to take full ownership of SEO strategy rather than just execution?

Want to work in a close-knit agency where your opinion actually shapes client outcomes?

If so, this could be worth a look.

The Business:

This well-established, fast-growing marketing agency based in South Manchester is known for delivering commercially focused digital strategies that genuinely move the needle for clients.

Working as a true consultative partner, the team prides itself on going far beyond box-ticking SEO. Everything they do is proactive, strategic, and rooted in driving measurable growth.

This is a role for someone who enjoys thinking commercially, staying ahead of algorithm changes, and creating SEO strategies that balance user experience with performance.

You’ll have plenty of autonomy, while still being part of a wider team where ideas are shared and challenged in a positive way. There’s also scope to get involved in wider digital channels such as paid media and social, if that’s of interest.

• Confident owning client relationships and leading SEO strategy.
• Strong background in on page and content-led SEO.
• Commercial mindset with a focus on performance and results.
