You’ll be responsible for identifying opportunities, managing priorities, delivering audits and recommendations, and working closely with wider teams.
You’ll also help the brand adapt to the evolving search landscape, including AI Overviews, AI-assisted discovery and changing ecommerce search behaviours.
Responsibilities

* Monitor developments in AI search including AI Overviews, AI-assisted shopping journeys and changing user behaviour.
* Identify opportunities to improve visibility in AI-led search experiences through structured content, entity optimisation, schema and information architecture.
* Review SEO recommendations through both traditional search and AI discoverability lenses.
* Support insight around how AI-driven search changes may impact visibility, CTR and ecommerce performance.
Skills and Experience Required
* Strong technical SEO knowledge including crawling, indexing, redirects, canonicals, structured data, internal linking, page speed and site architecture.
* Experience working with ecommerce websites including category pages, product pages, filters, faceted navigation and larger site structures.
* Good account or stakeholder management experience.
* Confidence presenting SEO recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
* Strong analytical skills and experience using SEO and analytics platforms.
* Ability to prioritise work based on impact, effort and commercial value.

About the7stars
the7stars is unlike any other agency. The distinction started the day we launched in 2005 when we named ourselves after a pub, but more importantly when we made a promise that we were going to do things differently.

Our Freedom philosophy lives across our entire business from people, product and planning. It means we plan & buy media how we want, develop careers how we want, take holiday when we need it, invent tools when we need them, give people a platform to speak up, question and express themselves freely – but more importantly it has allowed us to create an amazing place to work.
We have a unique working environment and open structure which encourages personal development through client contact, teamwork, training, exposure to all media and internal teams, with a "sky’s the limit" approach to growth within the agency.
the7stars is 300 passionate media people focused purely on creating great work for clients. UK focused, we also operate within an agile global network of like-minded partners, extending our client portfolio into Europe and the US.
