Job description

You don't wait for the phone to ring, you go out and find the market yourself. LASEO is looking for a Business Development Manager who shows brands what SEO and AI search can do for their revenue, and turns that into deals.

We are LASEO, an SEO agency from Amsterdam that does exactly one thing: organic growth. Technical SEO, content, link building and AI search under one roof, for brands like Philips, Bugaboo, Bang & Olufsen and Palo Alto Networks. SEMrush ranks us as the #1 SEO agency in the Netherlands, and Clutch and Sortlist list us among the top agencies in Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Now we're looking for the commercial engine that takes that story to market.

The timing couldn't be better. People no longer search only in Google, but also in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. Every marketing director wants to know what that means for their brand. You're the one who answers that question: with numbers on their visibility, a sharp view of the competition, and a plan that shows what it delivers.

The best part of this role: you sell something that proves itself. SEO is measurable down to the keyword, our cases are public, and the team behind you delivers. No castles in the air, but results a client can see for themselves in Search Console. And because SEO isn't a one-off project, every client you bring in is the start of a long-term partnership.

You don't start from zero. We have a strong portfolio, inbound requests through our website, and a brand known for one thing: SEO. With our SEO tooling you turn every prospect into a visibility analysis, and we're actively building AI-driven prospecting: automated research, smart lead qualification and personalized outreach at scale. You decide how to use that tooling.

We're a team of SEO specialists, content strategists and link builders. No bureaucracy, no endless approval layers: if you want to test a new proposition or campaign tomorrow, you can do it tomorrow. Your results show up directly in the agency's growth. And we celebrate wins together, Friday afternoon drinks included.

NL or US based role: you need to be located in the Netherlands or in New York.
