SEO Manager | Digital Lending | Hybrid, London | Up to £70K | 3 Days in Office

A fast-growing digital lender is on the lookout for an SEO Manager to take full ownership of their organic performance across high-intent financial products.

This is a high-impact, standalone SEO role within a lean and ambitious team — reporting directly into the CEO, with strong cross-functional links to UX, dev, and growth. If you're looking for autonomy, direct influence on commercial outcomes, and the opportunity to scale SEO within a purpose-led business, this one’s for you.

Company Snapshot:

• A tech-forward lending platform helping customers often underserved by mainstream banks
• Backed by a well-known UK consumer brand with decades of recognition
• A mission-led team focused on access, transparency, and customer wellbeing
• Recent investment in data, automation, and digital performance

What you'll do:

• Own the end-to-end SEO strategy across cards and loans products
• Identify long-tail keyword opportunities to drive qualified traffic
• Perform regular SEO audits, optimise site architecture, and manage sitemaps
• Collaborate with developers to implement technical improvements
• Work closely with UX/UI to improve page performance and funnel conversion
• Analyse traffic, trends, and performance using SEMrush, GA, and Google Ads
• Use Python to automate SEO tasks or manipulate data (a must-have here)

About you:

• Confident working in a standalone role with CEO exposure
• A strong communicator with conviction – happy to defend your strategy and push back when needed
• Hands-on with tools like SEMrush, Google Analytics, Google Ads
• Have practical Python experience for SEO applications
• Ideally hold a degree in marketing or digital marketing (must be on CV)
• A agile backgrounds preferred (startup, scaleup, agency or consultancy all good)
• Looking for stability – they want someone ready to grow with the business

This is a chance to make a real dent in performance at a brand with scale, backing, and a clear mission. If you're up for building, testing, iterating and growing — this role gives you the space to lead from the front.
