Summary of Position
We seek a highly motivated and experienced SEO Manager to co-manage our SEO team and drive our digital marketing efforts to new heights. As an SEO Manager, you'll be at the forefront of shaping our online presence and driving organic traffic. Your primary focus will be co-managing the team, ensuring the department is equipped with the latest techniques and strategies to deliver exceptional results. Because this role bridges the gap between internal strategy and client-facing communication, you must possess excellent communication skills who thrives on building relationships and collaborating across departments.
In this role, you will oversee a dedicated book of clients (typically around 30-40 accounts). However, your daily focus isn't just executing tasks; it’s leading, guiding, and managing the activities and escalations of the strategists who handle these accounts. You will also oversee the strategic introduction of junior team members to clients as they support the workload.
Additionally, you will partner closely with growth efforts by joining sales team calls as necessary to perform live or technical SEO audits and directly address prospect pain points to help close deals. We are looking for a true leader who can bring their management skills to the table to continually refine our processes, make operations smoother, and mentor the team.
Join us and be part of a team that's driving growth and innovation in digital marketing. If you're passionate about cutting-edge SEO and eager to make a real impact as a leader, we want to hear from you!
