WHO YOU ARE

• Set expectations, timelines, and deliverables with clients.
• Build strong, long-term client relationships and ensure retention.

Performance & Growth

• Analyze campaign data and identify opportunities to scale and improve results.
• Proactively recommend new strategies across SEO and broader digital channels.
• Support cross-channel initiatives (content, paid media, email, CRO).
• Manage multiple accounts simultaneously while maintaining quality and timelines.

Team Collaboration

• Work closely with internal teams including SEO, content, design, and paid media.
• Help prioritize tasks and ensure execution aligns with strategy.
• Contribute to internal process improvements and SEO best practices.

Requirements

• 4-6+ years experience in SEO and/or digital marketing within an agency environment.
• Proven experience managing client relationships and leading client communication.
• Strong understanding of SEO (technical, on-page, and off-page).
• Experience with analytics and reporting tools (Google Analytics, Search Console, etc.).
• Ability to interpret data and translate it into actionable insights.
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and CMS platforms like WordPress or Webflow.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple accounts (10-20+ clients).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills..

Pluses

• Experience in medical aesthetics or healthcare marketing.
• Familiarity with paid media (Google Ads, Meta Ads) and CRO strategies.
• Experience with advanced SEO tools (Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, etc.).
• Basic knowledge of JavaScript, PHP, or technical SEO implementations.
• UX/UI or conversion optimization experience.
• Google Analytics or other relevant certifications.

What Success Looks Like

• Clients clearly understand their SEO performance and trust your strategy.
• Campaigns show consistent growth in rankings, traffic, and conversions.
• You proactively identify opportunities-not just report on results.
• Internal teams execute efficiently because your direction is clear and actionable.
