Senior SEO Strategist

Location:

Experience Level:

We’re not looking for another “SEO person” who knows how to stuff keywords or run rank trackers, but for a strategic mind, a leader, and a long-term player — someone who takes ownership, drives measurable outcomes, guides teams and knows how to adapt when algorithms, AI, and the entire digital landscape shift overnight.

If you’re the type who’s curious, thinks beyond checklists, keeps up with industry changes, knows how AI is shaking up SEO, wants to define how SEO integrates with product, design, content, data, and even AI-first strategies and loves finding smarter ways to win — we should talk.

What You’ll Own & Drive

• SEO strategy & execution – go beyond “basics” — identify growth opportunities through deep keyword research with prioritising user intent, competition insights, and industry shifts.

• Technical SEO (non-negotiable) – from crawlability, site speed, and indexing challenges to navigating modern web architectures, you’ll solve blockers that average SEOs don’t even see.

• Optimize every element (schema, content, UX, and what not!) while building quality authority links — zero tolerance for spammy shortcuts.

• Work directly with developers, designers, content writers, and data analysts to ensure SEO isn’t an afterthought but baked into every deliverable.

• Client & stakeholder management – lead conversations, not just attend them. Own accountability and communicate strategies/results with clarity.

• Analytics & CRO – beyond Google Analytics and Search Console — set up Looker Studio dashboards, GTM events, conversion funnels, and drive A/B tests to align SEO with real business goals.

• Be the person who knows what’s coming — Core Updates, AI search disruption, LLM impact — and guide the team with proactive strategies, not reactive panic.

What We Expect From You

• Minimum 3+ years with diverse clients and the ability to showcase real case studies where you’ve moved the needle.

• Strong SEO knowledge in On-page, off-page, deep technical SEO, and E-E-A-T compliance— not just surface-level “best practices.”

• Understand how generative AI, and LLM-driven search are reshaping SEO — and know how to adapt strategies accordingly.

• Strong with tools: SEMrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, GA4, GSC, Looker Studio, Tag Manager — and openness to whatever’s next.

• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and headless/modern CMS environments.

• Strategic thinker + doer: Ability to balance high-level strategy with roll-up-your-sleeves execution.

• Ownership, accountability, communication skills, and the ability to lead discussions with both clients and internal teams.

• Bonus points: Experience with international SEO, multilingual markets, and AI-led optimization for search.

Who ShouldNotApply

• If you’re looking for just a “Senior” title with no leadership mindset.
• If your SEO expertise stops at “adding keywords” or “generating tons of useless backlinks.”
• If you want a comfort zone job without accountability.
