Job description

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced SEO professional looking to take on more responsibility and progress into a senior-level position within a growing marketing agency.

You'll join a small, highly skilled team where quality matters, decisions are trusted, and your work has visible impact. There's no excessive sign-off or box-ticking you'll be judged on outcomes, not activity.

The Role

You'll take ownership of SEO strategy and performance across a portfolio of client accounts, translating commercial objectives into clear, effective SEO plans.

This is a hands-on role with autonomy. You'll execute high-impact SEO work yourself while selectively delegating where appropriate, deciding what matters most and how to prioritise it. When performance stalls, you'll diagnose issues, adjust strategy, and drive improvements without waiting for instruction.

Over time, this role offers a clear path into a more senior SEO position as you demonstrate ownership, decision-making, and consistent results.

Key Responsibilities

• Own SEO strategy and performance across multiple client accounts
• Set priorities based on data, experience, and client goals
• Deliver hands-on SEO work across technical, on-page, and content-led SEO
• Monitor performance, explain results clearly, and adapt strategy when needed
• Communicate confidently with clients and internal stakeholders
• Keep work organised and visible through project management and reporting

About You

• An experienced SEO comfortable owning decisions and outcomes
• Confident working autonomously with minimal oversight
• Commercially minded, focused on results rather than checklists
• Analytical, curious, and proactive when solving performance issues

Experience & Skills

• Proven experience managing SEO strategy across multiple accounts
• Strong understanding of technical, on-page, and content SEO
• Confident using tools such as GA4, Search Console, Ahrefs, and crawling tools
• Experience with CMS platforms like WordPress or Shopify
• Clear written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have:

• Experience reviewing or supporting junior SEO work
• A specialist interest (e.g. technical SEO, content strategy, digital PR)
• Familiarity with AI-assisted SEO tools

Benefits

• 30 days annual leave plus wellbeing day and birthday off
• Additional performance-based annual leave
• Hybrid working (WFH twice per week)
• Genuine flexibility and autonomy
• Occupational sick pay
• Generous equipment and desk setup budget
