This is more than just a senior SEO role. It’s a chance to shape the future of a fast-growing digital agency - through your ideas, your leadership, and your ability to drive performance that genuinely moves the needle.
If you’re a strategic thinker, a confident communicator, and a leader by nature, this could be your perfect next step. You'll take charge of high-value SEO accounts, steer innovation across the department, and mentor a passionate, growing team.
What you’ll be doing:
Setting the pace: Own and lead client strategies from day one - developing ambitious, effective SEO campaigns that meet KPIs and exceed expectations.
Mentoring and developing: Provide guidance and training to your team, supporting SEO Managers and Senior Account Managers to reach their full potential.
Innovating beyond the playbook: Spot opportunities for fresh thinking and better ways of working. Share new ideas, tools, and strategies that keep the agency ahead of the curve.
Client leadership: Build long-term partnerships with clients—taking charge of communications, presenting results, and navigating complex challenges with confidence.
Raising the standard: Lead performance reviews, troubleshoot SEO issues, and ensure campaign delivery is always on point—whether you’re hands-on or delegating effectively.
Shaping the agency: Help improve processes, refine workflows, and support wider business growth through scalable ways of working and knowledge sharing.

* Strong leadership and mentoring abilities
* Excellent communication and client relationship skills
* Ability to improve, document, and roll out new internal processes
* Confident using SEO tools like Google Analytics, Search Console, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, and more
* High-level time and task management skills—balancing client needs, team support, and strategy
Experience and attitude:
* 4–5+ years in SEO, with at least some of that in a senior or leadership capacity (agency experience preferred)
* Proven track record of managing large retainers and complex client portfolios
* Comfortable in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with a continuous improvement mindset
* Always proactive, never complacent—you lead by example, drive standards up, and make people around you better
* You’re not just an SEO expert—you’re a mentor, a strategist, and a trusted advisor
* You can challenge the status quo and bring fresh energy to the table
* You think beyond campaigns—your ideas help shape the future of the agency
