In this role, you’ll be responsible for driving organic growth through smart strategy, technical know-how, and a deep understanding of how people search online.

- Optimize pages for search engines and users — think meta tags, headers, internal links, schema markup, etc.
- Run technical SEO audits and team up with devs to fix site speed, crawlability, mobile issues, and more.
- Track and analyze performance using tools like Google Analytics, Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Screaming Frog.
- Collaborate with content creators and designers to make sure SEO works hand-in-hand with user experience and conversion goals.
- Keep an eye on Google updates and SEO trends to keep strategies fresh and effective.

What We’re Looking For
- 2–4 years of hands-on SEO experience (agency experience is a plus!).
- Proven results in growing organic traffic and improving rankings for key pages.
- Solid understanding of technical SEO and how websites work under the hood.
- Comfortable using tools like GA4, Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Screaming Frog.
- A good sense of what makes content valuable to both users and search engines.
- Basic understanding of HTML/CSS and how UX impacts SEO performance.
- Comfortable translating complex data into clear, actionable steps.
