SEO Manager

I'm hiring another role to support our growth across GEO and AI search.

I'm looking for an experienced SEO Manager.

Another really interesting role with a great team, benefits and lots of scope and support for learning and development.

Search is moving fast right now, people are asking ChatGPT and Claude questions they'd have Googled a year ago, and nobody's fully cracked what "great" looks like in that world yet. I don't need someone who's already got AI search figured out. I need an experienced SEO operator who's got a curious mindset and is already exploring and discovering the world of AI search.

If that sounds like you, you can apply via the link or get in touch if you want to find out more. Sorry, no agencies.
