Job description

Are you an experienced SEO professional who enjoys having real ownership of strategy, working directly with clients and seeing your recommendations turn into commercial results?

We're looking for a Senior SEO Manager to join a growing, close-knit digital team and take the lead on SEO strategy across a varied portfolio of established eCommerce, B2 B and professional services clients.

This is a hands-on senior role where you'll have the freedom to shape strategy, influence clients and work closely with developers, account managers and growth specialists to make things happen.

What you'll be doing

You'll take full ownership of your SEO accounts, from identifying opportunities and building strategic roadmaps through to implementation, reporting and client presentations.

Your role will include:

• Developing and leading SEO strategies aligned to clients' commercial objectives
• Managing senior client relationships and leading regular SEO meetings
• Identifying opportunities across technical, on-page and content SEO
• Carrying out keyword, competitor and search landscape research
• Working directly with developers to prioritise and implement technical improvements
• Analysing performance and delivering commercially focused reporting
• Advising on SEO for website builds, migrations and launches
• Supporting pitches and new business opportunities as the SEO specialist
• Working with Account Managers to identify growth opportunities within existing accounts
• Keeping ahead of changes in search, including AI search and emerging platforms

What we're looking for

You'll have at least five years' SEO experience, ideally in an agency or similar environment where you've managed multiple clients and taken ownership of both strategy and relationships.

You'll bring:

• Strong experience developing and leading SEO strategies
• Proven experience managing senior client relationships
• Excellent technical, on-page and content SEO knowledge
• Experience managing SEO for eCommerce websites
• Confidence presenting strategy, recommendations and results to clients
• Strong knowledge of GA4, Google Search Console and leading SEO tools
• A good understanding of website development and experience working with developers
• Experience with website migrations and new website launches
• Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of how SEO drives leads, sales and revenue
• The confidence to challenge existing approaches and recommend a better way forward
• A genuine interest in AI search and the changing search landscape

Experience with Magento/Adobe Commerce, WordPress or App Store Optimisation would be an advantage.

Why join?

You'll be joining a small, collaborative team where your ideas genuinely matter. You'll work closely with senior leadership and have visibility across the wider business, rather than being another cog in a large agency machine.

You'll work with a diverse mix of ambitious start-ups and established eCommerce brands across different industries and technologies, meaning no two projects are the same.

There's also a strong focus on development, with access to training and regular collaboration with an international development team.

And when the team hits its monthly and annual targets, there are socials and trips away to celebrate together.
