You will work closely with leadership, product, design, content, and development teams to ensure SEO is embedded across every function of the business. The ideal candidate is both analytical and creative, capable of developing data-driven strategies while inspiring cross-functional teams to execute at the highest level.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategy & Leadership

Define the organization’s SEO vision, long-term growth roadmap, and execution strategy.

Design and implement comprehensive SEO initiatives across technical SEO, content strategy, link-building, and experimentation.

Align closely with marketing and demand generation teams to integrate SEO into campaigns, events, and broader growth initiatives.

Use advanced analytics tools (GA4, Google Search Console, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Looker Studio) to monitor performance, identify opportunities, and track progress.

Deliver detailed reporting to leadership on keyword growth, traffic trends, conversion impact, and revenue attribution from SEO.

Identify gaps in analytics or reporting and collaborate with data teams to enhance measurement accuracy.

4. Team & Vendor Management

Build and lead an SEO team (in-house or distributed), ensuring a balance of technical expertise, content strategy, and off-page authority building.

Manage external SEO agencies, freelancers, or consultants, ensuring alignment with internal goals and quality standards.

Mentor and upskill team members across departments, fostering greater SEO literacy throughout the organization.
