Job description

SEO Manager @ ColossyanBack to all rolesSEO ManagerJob detailsMarketingGreater London, United KingdomFull-timeHybrid**Colossyan | London (hybrid) | Full-time | Reports to Head of Growth**## About usMost corporate training is still made the way it was made twenty years ago. Someone books a studio or opens a legacy authoring tool, spends six weeks building a course, and it is out of date by the quarter after it ships. Every large company knows this and almost none of them have a way out.Colossyan is the agentic platform for training and enablement. Our AI agents draft videos and full interactive courses from a company's own source material, and a human stays in control of everything that ships. Paramount, Continental, Cisco, Johnson & Johnson and UPS use us to turn what they already know into training their people actually finish. Nearly a million videos have been created on the platform, we are a G2 Leader in both AI Video Generator and Course Authoring, and we are a Series A company of just over 50 people across London and Budapest.## **Here is our situation, told straight**Colossyan is the #1 AI platform for video-led training and enablement. We turn documents and plain text into studio-quality video with AI presenters, in dozens of languages, with no camera and no crew. Enterprise training and enablement teams who used to wait weeks on a video agency now ship in an afternoon. Our technical foundations are in good shape. We rank, we get found, and we have a real audience arriving every day. That part is done.What we do not have is one person who owns how that gets scaled, and how being found turns into customers. Search is being rebuilt right now. AI answers, video and communities are taking share from the classic blue links, and we can already see that traffic arriving from AI assistants converts better for us than any other organic source. We have barely started on it. So this is not a job about fixing the basics. It is about scale, efficiency and conversion, across every surface where our buyers are searching.## **What you will own**### **Scale and efficiency*** Take what already works and make far more of it, without diluting quality* Topic and keyword strategy built around commercial intent rather than traffic volume* Programmatic and template-driven page strategies scaling safely, with the judgement to know where they earn their keep and where they do not* Decide what gets made, what gets consolidated and what gets retired. Cutting is as much a part of this as creating* Keep our technical health where it is. You own the standard, you review what we ship, and you make sure growth does not quietly break things### **Conversion, UX and the customer*** Traffic that does not convert is a cost. You own the journey from the search result to the signup or the demo request, not just the ranking* Work closely with our website manager and designers on page structure, layout, messaging hierarchy and calls to action. You will have real influence over how pages look and work, not only what they say* Understand our customer properly. L&D, HR and enablement buyers have a specific job to do and specific things they are worried about. The pages that win are the ones written by someone who actually knows that* Test changes and measure them rather than shipping on instinct and hoping### **Content and copy*** Write. This is not a briefing role. You will write and rewrite the pages that matter, and you will edit other people's work* Turn our comparison, alternatives and product pages into the strongest versions of themselves* Own the content plan for organic end to end### **AI search: AEO and GEO*** Make Colossyan the answer that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews give* Build the measurement for it. Being crawled, being cited and being clicked are three different things and you will instrument all three* Work the surfaces that feed AI answers, including communities YouTube, G2 and the wider web, not only our own site### **YouTube and video search*** Co-own our YouTube channel as a search channel: topic and format strategy, titles, thumbnails, descriptions, chapters and playlists* Build the strategy that gets our videos found in YouTube search, in Google's video results, and in AI answers that draw on video* Turn video into a genuine source of demand rather than a brand exercise### **Measurement*** Own organic reporting: visibility, traffic, signups, qualified demos and pipeline, rather than rankings for their own sake* Be able to say what your work did, and be honest about what you cannot attribute## **What we need*** **3 to 5 years in SEO**, with real in-house or agency ownership of a site that mattered* **Serious SEO skills.** Not a checklist operator. We want someone who can look at a site and see the system: how architecture, internal linking, intent and page quality fit together, and where the leverage actually sits* **Genuinely technical.** Comfortable in Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog and the wider SEO stack. Able to read a crawl, diagnose an indexation problem, work with structured data, and hold your own in a conversation with an engineer* **A strong writer.** We will ask for samples and we will ask you to write something. Clear, specific, not padded, and not obviously machine-made* **A conversion and UX instinct.** You look at a page and think about what the visitor is trying to do, not only about what it ranks for* **Real curiosity about AI search.** Nobody has five years of AEO experience because it has existed for about two. What we care about is that you have been paying close attention, forming your own views, and testing things* **Commercially minded.** You think in signups and qualified demos, not sessions* **Self-sufficient.** You will be our first dedicated search hire. There is no team beneath you and no agency doing the thinking for you, though there is budget for freelance support where it genuinely helps## **Nice to have*** Confidence on camera. You would own the YouTube strategy either way, but if you are comfortable presenting it opens up a great deal more of what we can do with the channel, and we would back you to run with it* Video editing skills* B2B SaaS experience, or experience selling to L&D, HR or enablement buyers* Digital PR and link acquisition experience* Any scripting, SQL or AI tooling that lets you answer your own questions faster## **What success looks like****First 3 months.** You know our customer, you have found where our current organic performance is leaking, and you have started to execute a prioritised plan with a clear argument behind it.**First 6 months.** Organic is growing on commercial-intent terms and converting better than it does today. We can measure our AI search visibility and it is moving in the right direction. YouTube has a strategy and are executing accordingly.**First 12 months.** We are found wherever our buyers are looking, we can prove it, and organic is a reliable source of qualified demand rather than a source of traffic.## **Why this role is worth taking**Most SEO jobs in 2026 involve maintaining someone else's site inside someone else's strategy. Here the foundations are already built, which means you get to spend your time on the interesting part: scale, conversion and the surfaces that did not exist three years ago. All of it at a company whose product is the thing you would be making content with, at the exact moment the rules of search are being rewritten. You will be able to point at what you built.## What we offer* **Stock options:** We want everyone to feel motivated to do their best work, which is why we're all owners.* **Remote work:** Enjoy extra flexibility with one full week of remote work per quarter.* **Free lunch Thursdays:** Build team connections over complimentary weekly lunches, available for both in-office and remote employees.* **Great office location:** Work from our centrally located, pet-friendly office designed for comfort and team collaboration.* **Birthday time off:** Celebrate your birthday with an additional paid day off, if it falls on a weekday, separate from your regular vacation allowance.* **Flexible annual leave:** Enjoy 25 days of annual leave with the unique option to convert the 8 bank holidays into working days and boost your annual leave allowance to 33 days. Choose what works best for you.* **Private healthcare:** Access private healthcare through Bupa, including talk therapy and physiotherapy. We understand that everyone does their best work when they're happy and healthy.* **Retirement planning:** We offer matched salary sacrifice pension with Smart Pension.* **Cutting-edge AI technology:** Be at the forefront of AI innovation, working directly with state-of-the-art AI technologies that form the core of our product.* **Impact:** As a rapidly expanding Series A startup, your contributions will have an immediate impact on our global development.At Colossyan, we believe that diversity drives innovation and inclusion fosters a sense of belonging.
