The Business

Join a high-growth performance marketing agency that has built a reputation for delivering exceptional results across SEO, Digital PR, Paid Media and Performance Marketing.

Working with clients ranging from ambitious challenger brands through to established national businesses, the agency prides itself on taking a commercially driven approach to search. They don't chase vanity metrics. They focus on helping clients generate meaningful growth.

With continued investment in the SEO team, they're now looking for a Senior SEO Manager to play a key role in the next phase of growth.

The Role

As Senior SEO Manager, you'll sit at the heart of the SEO team, working closely with senior leadership to drive strategy, support team development and lead some of the agency's most important client relationships.

This isn't a role for someone who simply follows best practice. They're looking for someone who enjoys testing, innovating and staying ahead of where search is heading next.

• Staying ahead of industry developments and helping shape the agency's SEO offering.

About You

You’ll likely have at least five years of SEO experience and a strong technical foundation, but just as importantly you’ll be someone who enjoys solving problems, analysing data and finding opportunities others miss.

You’ll be comfortable managing client relationships, presenting recommendations and explaining complex SEO concepts in a way that makes sense to stakeholders.

Experience with platforms such as Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console and GA4 will be expected, alongside a strong understanding of how SEO is evolving alongside AI, LLMs and changing search behaviours.

The Package

• £50,000 depending on experience + performance related bonus.
• Hybrid working, 2 days in office & flexitime.
• A Whopping 36 days of annual leave.
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities.
• Clear progression within a growing agency.
