Job description

Own the end-to-end technical SEO roadmap across a large-scale, multi-market e-commerce platform with complex category structures, faceted navigation, filters, pagination and 100K+ indexable and non-indexable URLs.
Lead complex technical investigations covering crawlability, renderability, indexation, canonicalisation, internal linking, duplicate content, URL parameters, soft 404s, orphan pages and search-engine discovery.
Analyse raw HTML, rendered DOM, HTTP responses, JavaScript behaviour and browser/network activity to diagnose SSR, CSR, hydration and dynamic-rendering issues across modern frameworks such as React, Angular and Vue.
Design and govern robots.txt, canonical, noindex, pagination and faceted-navigation rules that protect crawl efficiency while preserving valuable category and product demand.
Use log-file analysis and crawl data to identify wasted bot activity, crawl traps, under-crawled templates and high-value pages that are not being discovered or refreshed efficiently.
Lead source-level technical remediation with engineering teams, ensuring recurring issues are resolved through platform or template fixes rather than URL-by-URL workarounds.
Own structured-data strategy and implementation across Product, Offer, Breadcrumb, Organization, LocalBusiness and other relevant schema types; write, debug and validate JSON-LD directly.
Drive Core Web Vitals and page-experience improvements, translating LCP, INP and CLS findings into technically clear, prioritised actions for developers, product teams and third-party vendors.
Lead technical SEO for migrations, redesigns, replatforming and major releases, including discovery, requirements, redirect mapping, pre-launch validation, UAT, launch governance and post-launch monitoring.
Own international SEO architecture across markets and languages, including hreflang, market targeting, ccTLD/subfolder decisions, localisation signals and cross-market duplication risks.
Investigate and resolve critical incidents such as sudden deindexation, ranking loss, crawl spikes, robots or canonical errors, title/H1 rendering failures, GSC removal cascades and migration regressions.
Build automated monitoring and alerting for technical regressions using GSC, crawl data, analytics, rank-tracking and platform diagnostics.
Quantify technical issues by affected URLs, templates, markets, traffic, revenue risk and implementation effort, then convert findings into a clear business-prioritised backlog.
Define acceptance criteria and validation methods for every major recommendation, and verify implementations independently before closing actions.
Act as the senior technical SEO authority for stakeholders across SEO, Engineering, Product, UX, Content, Analytics and Commercial teams.
Set the technical SEO vision and establish clear standards, governance and quality controls across all markets and development workstreams.
Influence product and engineering roadmaps by connecting technical SEO priorities to organic traffic, conversion, revenue and customer experience.
Communicate complex technical findings clearly to senior stakeholders, with decisive recommendations rather than unprioritised issue lists.
Challenge incomplete or incorrect implementations, escalade material risks early and maintain accountability through to resolution.
Mentor SEO team members and raise the technical capability of the wider team through practical reviews, documentation and knowledge sharing.
Support pitches, audits and strategic client conversations where senior technical credibility is required.

Requirements

7+ years of SEO experience, including at least 4 years in a dedicated technical SEO role and substantial ownership of a large e-commerce platform or similarly complex website.
Proven experience working with enterprise-scale websites containing 100K+ URLs, SKUs or dynamically generated pages.
Strong working knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with the ability to inspect source code, rendered DOM, HTTP headers and network activity and to identify implementation defects without relying solely on crawler exports.
Deep understanding of crawling, rendering and indexing, including SSR, CSR, hydration, dynamic rendering and the SEO implications of modern JavaScript frameworks.
Advanced experience with crawl-budget optimisation, log-file analysis, faceted navigation, URL parameter handling, canonicalisation and large-scale indexation management.
Demonstrable experience leading complex CMS, platform, domain or URL migrations with measurable risk mitigation and post-launch validation.
Hands‑on structured‑data expertise, including the ability to write and debug JSON‑LD and validate template‑level implementation.
Strong Core Web Vitals diagnostic capability and experience briefing developers on practical, testable performance fixes.
Expertise in international and multi‑language SEO, including hreflang, market architecture and localisation considerations.
Advanced proficiency with Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog or Sitebulb, Ahrefs, Semrush and relevant browser developer tools; experience with log‑analysis platforms is strongly preferred.
Ability to write clear technical requirements, tickets, acceptance criteria and QA plans that engineering teams can implement without ambiguity.
Strong analytical and commercial judgment, with the ability to prioritise by business impact rather than issue count.
Excellent stakeholder‑management skills and proven ability to work directly with senior engineers, product owners, analysts and leadership teams.
A proactive, ownership‑led mindset: you investigate deeply, make decisions, follow through and verify outcomes.
Highly desirable Retail, fashion, marketplace or high‑volume e‑commerce experience.
Experience with headless commerce, composable architecture, CDNs, edge rendering or enterprise CMS platforms.
Working knowledge of SQL, BigQuery, Python or API‑based automation for SEO analysis and monitoring.
Experience managing multi‑market websites across the GCC or other multilingual regions.
Demonstrated success recovering traffic after migrations, indexation failures or major technical regressions.
