• Collaboration: Work closely with content, paid media, and creative teams to deliver joined-up campaigns

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in a senior SEO role, ideally in a digital agency
• Strong skills across technical SEO, content strategy, and digital PR
• Someone who can think big and get hands-on when needed
• A good commercial head with a clear understanding of how SEO drives results
• Confident communicator who’s comfortable building relationships and presenting to clients
• Experience leading and developing teams
• Proficient in tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, and GA4

Why Join Us?
