The Company

Are you an SEO professional ready for more ownership and influence in your next role? This growing B2B business is on an exciting digital journey and is looking for a talented SEO Executive.

It's a forward-thinking environment where your ideas will be heard, your work will have impact and you'll be part of a small, collaborative marketing team that's serious about data, performance and innovation.

Alongside traditional SEO, the company is also exploring AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and AI-driven search, so if you're curious about how search is evolving and want to be at the forefront of it, this could be the ideal next step. It could equally suit someone from an agency background now seeking an in-house role, or an experienced SEO Executive looking for a new challenge.

The Role - SEO Executive

You'll be responsible for planning, implementing and refining SEO strategies that drive measurable growth. Working closely with digital, content and development colleagues, you'll ensure best practice is applied across all areas of the website and digital activity.

It's a broad and hands-on role where you'll combine technical expertise, creativity and analytics to help shape the future of the business's online visibility.

Key Responsibilities - SEO Executive

• Deliver on-page, off-page and technical SEO activity from keyword research and optimisation to audits and performance tracking.
• Collaborate with internal teams to embed SEO best practice across all digital channels and campaigns.
• Analyse performance using GA4, Search Console and SEO tools such as SEMrush, Ahrefs and Screaming Frog, identifying actions to improve results.
• Manage link-building and digital PR outreach to increase visibility and authority.
• Stay ahead of algorithm changes, AEO developments and AI search trends, feeding new ideas into the wider digital plan.
• Produce insightful monthly reports highlighting performance, opportunities and future priorities.

Your Background - SEO Executive

• 2-3 years' hands‑on SEO experience, either in-house or agency side.
• Strong understanding of both technical and content SEO.
• Confident using analytics and SEO tools including GA4, Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs and Screaming Frog.
• Naturally inquisitive, with a strong interest in AI search and the evolution of AEO.
• Analytical, commercially minded and proactive in spotting opportunities for improvement.
• Strong communicator who can work effectively with technical and non‑technical teams.
• Familiarity with CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify or Drupal) and basic HTML/CSS knowledge would be advantageous.
• Self‑motivated, organised and comfortable working remotely, with 1‑2 days per month in the Saffron Walden office.

What's on Offer

• Salary up to £35,000, depending on experience.
• Based near Saffron Walden, with only 1-2 days per month in the office.
• A flexible, modern working culture built on trust and autonomy.
• Genuine opportunity to shape SEO strategy and influence digital direction.
