If you thrive on delivering results, collaborating across departments, and building high-performing teams — this is your opportunity to shape the future of SEO at a fast-growing digital agency.
What You'll Be Doing:
This is not your typical SEO role. You'll take full ownership of our SEO offering and lead a team of specialists focused on delivering measurable growth for our clients.
Lead and Mentor the SEO Team
* Provide day-to-day guidance, support, and training to our SEO specialists. You'll coach them to perform at their best while ensuring successful client outcomes.
Own and Execute SEO Strategy
* Develop and oversee SEO strategies across technical, on-page, and off-page SEO. Work closely with content, development, and marketing teams to ensure seamless execution.
Manage Team Operations
* Lead recruitment, onboarding, and training. Develop internal processes to support scalable, consistent service delivery.
Drive Performance and Results
* Monitor SEO KPIs, oversee audits, manage technical fixes, and report on results. You'll be responsible for delivering growth in traffic, rankings, and conversions.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Work alongside developers, content writers, and marketing leads to ensure SEO priorities are integrated across the business.
Stay Ahead of the Curve
* Keep up to date with the latest algorithm updates and SEO best practices, and adjust strategies accordingly.
What You Bring
* 5+ years of hands-on SEO experience, ideally with some leadership or mentoring exposure
* Strong understanding of technical SEO, content optimisation, and site architecture
* Proficiency with tools like GA4, Google Search Console, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, and similar
* Proven ability to plan and execute SEO strategies with measurable results
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills
* Organised, proactive, and capable of managing multiple projects and deadlines
* Experience with hiring and building team structures is a plus
What It's Like to Work Here:
We're a results-focused digital agency committed to delivering long-term value to our clients.
Our team is collaborative, driven, and genuinely excited about helping businesses grow.
We value trust, initiative, and clear communication — and we support our team with opportunities to learn, grow, and lead.
Why Join Search It Local:
* Competitive salary and advancement opportunities
