Description du poste

SEO Manager (Full-Time, In-House, On-Site, St. Louis)

Posted Social is a fast-growing, full-service marketing agency in St. Louis. We don’t outsource, white-label, or hand clients off to freelancers. The people doing the work always know the businesses they’re doing it for.

We’re hiring someone to lead and grow SEO at Posted Social. You’ll own SEO strategy and technical SEO across our client base, lead our web and SEO team, and build out the department as we grow. This role is for someone who loves the technical side of search, is hungry to join a growing organization, and is ready to take a department to the next level. This is a hands-on role. You’ll do the work yourself and lead the team doing it with you.

What you’ll own

• SEO strategy across a book of client accounts, prioritizing the work that actually moves leads and revenue for each one.
• Technical SEO: audits, site architecture, crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, page speed, and schema.
• The technical side of WordPress: performance tuning, plugin and caching conflicts, redirects, and migrations, so new builds launch gaining search visibility instead of losing it.
• Local SEO and Google Business Profiles, plus visibility in AI search and generative engines.
• Measurement and reporting through Search Console, GA4, and our ranking tools. You’ll tie search performance to leads, bookings, and revenue, not vanity rankings.
• Our SEO SOPs and tool stack. If there’s a better way to do something, we want you to bring it to us.

Who you’ll work with

• Our web designer on site builds, structure, and performance.
• Our copywriter, who writes and manages blog and SEO content under your strategy.
• Our ads and tech team, on tracking, attribution, and making sure paid and organic search work from the same playbook.
• Our account executives, helping them explain what you’re doing and why it matters to clients in plain English.

You’ll report directly to ownership.

Skills/Experience

• 2+ years of hands‑on SEO experience with a strong technical foundation. Agency experience managing multiple client accounts at once is a big plus.
• Deep WordPress skills. You can diagnose speed issues, plugin conflicts, and indexation problems on your own. Bricks experience is a bonus.
• Fluency with our stack: Google Search Console, GA4, Bing Webmaster Tools, Microsoft Clarity, Semrush, BrightLocal, Screaming Frog, Rank Math, and Perfmatters.
• Experience with Google Ads and Local Services Ads is a bonus.
• You use AI tools like Claude to work faster and smarter, without letting them do your thinking for you.
• A clear point of view on where search is going, including AI search.
• Experience leading projects or people, or a real drive to grow into leading a team.
• The ability to explain a technical problem to someone who isn’t technical without making them feel dumb.

Who we’re looking for

We’re building a team we plan to grow with for a long time, so we care about character as much as capability.

• You’re ambitious. You want to build something, not just maintain it, and you want your career to grow as fast as the company does.
• Your standards are higher than anyone else’s for your own work. You don’t need someone checking behind you, and “good enough” bothers you.
• You take pride in your work. That includes the parts nobody sees, like a clean redirect map or schema that validates on the first try.
• You’re team‑first. You make the people around you better, share what you know, and care about the client’s result more than your own credit.
• You own things. When something breaks, you diagnose it, bring a solution, and follow through without being asked twice.
• You’re curious and coachable. Search changes constantly. You like that, and you’re always pushing yourself to learn.

If you’re looking for a place to quietly do tasks and clock out, this won’t be a good fit. We’re looking for someone who wants to be an integral part of a fast growing, high performance team.

Compensation and growth

This is a starting salary with real room to grow. You’ll have a performance and compensation review at 90 days, and as the SEO department grows, this role grows with it in scope, team, and pay.

• Starting salary: $65,000 – $80,000, depending on experience
• 90-day performance and compensation review
• Quarterly team bonus and annual performance-based bonus

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k) with employer match
• 10 days PTO plus paid holidays

Details

• Full-time, in person at our St. Louis office
• Target start date: December 2026
