Job description

London, United Kingdom | Posted on 02/14/2025

accelerate agency specialises 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.

Job Description

This is a remote job.

About You

As an SEO Manager, 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 execs to support with this work. This also means you’ll be able to train other SEOs and help improve our processes.

Responsibilities of the Role Include:

1. Working with clients and the head of SEO to define KPIs in order to create the correct SEO strategy to achieve the defined KPIs.
2. Developing complete strategies for our SaaS clients that incorporate on-page SEO, content production, technical SEO, and link building.
3. Delegating work to our internal stakeholders, whether they be content writers, outreach, technical or SEO executives to ensure all available resources are working inline with your strategy and delivering results.
4. In-depth keyword research and analysis.
5. In-depth SERP analysis.
6. Defining the correct content approaches for our clients, identifying keywords to rank for and the type of content needed to rank.
7. Assisting with creating client reports and providing insights (our preference is Data Studio, but we’re open to other solutions).
8. Training new strategists and identifying knowledge or skill gaps and proposing solutions.
9. Forecasting and projecting what work is needed, collaborating with the project manager to understand resource needs for new clients.
10. Working with the head of SEO on improving current processes and defining new ones.
11. Collaborating with the client manager on client retention and upselling presentations.
12. Participating in pitches to help onboard prospective clients.
13. Being seen as an authority within the team when it comes to SEO, and someone that can push their team forward with the right support.

Requirements

1. A minimum of 3 years of experience as an SEO at specialist or equivalent level, demonstrating your knowledge/experience.
2. Previous experience managing team members is beneficial.
3. Awareness of link building and experience with these types of campaigns is very beneficial.
4. Agency background - ideally 3 years within an SEO agency.
5. Experience with enterprise-level SEO or SEO budgets over £7k per month.
6. Passionate about SEO and up to date with the latest developments, including the role of AI in SEO.
7. Must possess great interpersonal skills and be able to connect with people from international and diverse backgrounds.

Access to a range of online wellbeing support advice and a Lifestyle Discounts Portal & Cycle to Work scheme.

Monthly professional development planning for industry-relevant courses/tutorials/learning events.

Enhanced Paternity leave: 4 weeks full pay, with a structured return to work plan.
