Job description

Remote - U.S. & Canada Only | Full-Time | $65,000-$95,000

We’re not hiring an SEO Manager to just chase rankings. We’re hiring a strategist who turns search intent into business impact.

Level Agency is looking for a data‑obsessed, AI‑fluent SEO Manager to own and evolve organic search strategies that drive real results. This is a hands‑on role for a marketer who blends technical expertise, content instincts, and AI‑powered insights to move the needle for clients.

You'll partner with strategists, analysts, creatives, and clients to shape SEO programs that go beyond vanity metrics. If you can see around corners, explain complex ideas simply, and thrive on outcomes over output, this is your next move.

This Isn't for Everyone

We’re building something rare: a performance‑driven culture that values truth, speed, and collaboration.

You’ll thrive here if:

• You live at the intersection of data, content, and technical SEO
• You’re excited about what AI unlocks—not worried about what it replaces
• You can confidently lead strategy but aren’t above execution
• You understand how SEO fits into a broader digital mix
• You enjoy cross‑functional problem‑solving and client‑facing work

And you’ll struggle here if:

• You default to best practices instead of tailoring strategy
• You wait for direction instead of taking ownership
• You view SEO as a silo, not a growth lever

About Level

Good enough isn’t. Your goals keep moving. Your results should too. Level is a digital marketing agency helping complex, high‑consideration brands outperform their last win using AI, data, creativity, and relentless iteration. Our fully remote team blends media, creative, strategy, and analytics into outcomes that actually move the needle.

We serve clients across education, B2B software and services, financial services, and high‑consideration B2C. Our performance marketing expertise includes paid media, content and creative, marketing automation, data science, and consulting. Wherever goals evolve, we help our partners evolve faster.

Your Role (and Impact)

As SEO Manager, you’ll build and optimize organic search programs that increase traffic, visibility, and conversions. You’ll own strategy, execution, and results across multiple client accounts—working at the cutting edge of SEO and AI.

• Develop and execute on‑page, off‑page, and technical SEO strategies tailored to client goals
• Use AI tools and platforms to uncover trends, drive efficiencies, and optimize performance
• Conduct keyword research, competitive analysis, and content audits with actionable insights
• Collaborate with content creators, developers, and account teams to align execution
• Translate complex data into clear, compelling reporting and strategic recommendations
• Continuously refine strategies based on results, AI‑generated insights, and industry shifts
• Educate clients on the why behind SEO and show how it ladders up to business outcomes
• Understand the relationship between SEO and paid media to inform holistic strategies

Requirements

Must‑Haves:

• 2+ years of hands‑on SEO experience, ideally in an agency environment
• Proven track record of driving meaningful organic growth
• Strong grasp of SEO fundamentals: technical, on‑page, off‑page, and local
• Familiarity with tools like Google Analytics, Search Console, SEMrush, Screaming Frog
• Excellent communicator with strong client‑facing presence
• Experience interpreting data to inform strategy and drive decision‑making

Preferred Experience:

• Background in high‑consideration verticals (B2B, education, finance, etc.)
• Experience with CMS platforms (WordPress, HubSpot, Webflow)
• Understanding of how AI can be used in SEO workflows (e.g., content analysis, prompt engineering, clustering)
• Leadership experience or interest in mentoring others

AI Expectations

• Use tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude to enhance your workflow
• Document and share AI use cases, prompts, and process improvements with the team
• Embrace AI as a force multiplier for strategy, research, and execution
• Lean into discomfort and iteration as you learn what works (and what doesn’t)

Our Core Values

No Ego, All In

We don’t do "that’s not my job." We win together.

Better Every Day

We want the feedback—even when it stings.

Relentless for Results

Activity is nothing without outcomes.

Driven by Truth

We challenge assumptions and follow the data.
