SEO Manager

Six years ago, I joined Givebutter as a contract content creator when our entire company could fit around one table. Since then, I've had the chance to help build our content team and grow SEO into a meaningful part of how nonprofits discover, trust, and choose Givebutter.

We've always believed nonprofits deserve our very best. That's why we've set a high bar for the quality of what we publish—and why I'm so excited to bring on a dedicated SEO Manager to help us raise it even higher. 💛

I'm looking for one of the next foundational members of our content team—someone who's endlessly curious about how people discover information. Someone who sees SEO as part strategy, part systems thinking, and part storytelling. Someone who asks great questions, spots opportunities others miss, and cares deeply about creating resources that are genuinely worth finding.

If that sounds like you, I have a feeling we'd get along well. 😉

We're hiring an SEO Manager at Givebutter. Come build with us! 🤘

Our mission is to empower the changemaker in all of us. We believe giving should be fun, so you'll want to do it again, and we also believe that work should be fun, so that you'll have the greatest impact.

Role Description

Givebutter is hiring an SEO Manager to help scale our organic growth and discovery efforts. In this role, you'll partner closely with the Manager of Content Marketing to identify high-impact opportunities, drive strategic SEO initiatives, and help shape how people discover Givebutter across search and emerging discovery channels. You'll play a key role in translating insights into action, bringing forward recommendations, leading initiatives, building scalable systems, and helping the team adapt to an evolving search landscape. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution and thrives on turning opportunities into measurable growth.

We want to hear from people who…

• Think holistically about SEO. You understand how content, technical foundations, site experience, and authority-building work together, and how to prioritize them to drive long-term growth.
• Balance obsession with perspective. You sweat the details that matter (and ignore the ones that don't), knowing when to go deep and when to zoom out to keep long-term growth on track.
• At home in both planning and execution. You're comfortable setting direction and rolling up your sleeves, shifting seamlessly between strategy and hands-on work.
• Build scalable ways of working. You enjoy turning successful ideas and workflows into repeatable processes that help the team move faster and operate more effectively over time.
• Care deeply about quality and results. You take pride in doing things well and creating work that delivers meaningful impact, for both the business and the people we serve.
• Experiment with intention. You embrace emerging search opportunities and new technologies, but always with a clear hypothesis, a plan, and a way to measure success.

Responsibilities

• Partner with the Manager of Content Marketing to identify, evaluate, and prioritize opportunities that support Givebutter's organic growth and discovery goals.
• Lead keyword research, content gap analysis, competitive intelligence, audience research, and search trend monitoring to uncover high-impact opportunities.
• Translate search insights, performance data, and market trends into actionable recommendations that inform content strategy, optimization priorities, and future investments.
• Partner closely with Content, Brand, Growth, and Product Marketing teams to shape content plans, optimization initiatives, and scalable workflows that improve discoverability and performance.
• Drive the execution of strategic SEO initiatives, ensuring projects move forward effectively and deliver measurable impact.
• Collaborate with the Technical SEO Manager to identify, prioritize, and evaluate technical opportunities that improve organic visibility, discoverability, and user experience.
• Manage external SEO agencies and partners, providing direction, reviewing deliverables, and ensuring work aligns with strategic priorities and quality standards.
• Build and refine frameworks, documentation, and operating processes that make SEO and discovery efforts more scalable, consistent, and effective over time.
• Champion experimentation across traditional search, AI-powered discovery, and emerging channels, using structured testing and data-driven decision making to identify new opportunities.
• Stay ahead of changes in search behavior, platform evolution, and industry trends, translating emerging opportunities into recommendations that help Givebutter adapt and grow.

Application Deadline: August 14, 2026

Requirements

• 5+ years of SEO experience with demonstrated ownership of strategic initiatives and measurable impact on organic growth.
• Strong expertise across content-driven SEO, on-page optimization, keyword strategy, and search-driven content planning.
• Working knowledge of technical SEO concepts and the ability to collaborate effectively on technical recommendations and prioritization.
• Proficiency with leading SEO and analytics tools (e.g., GSC, GA4, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Looker, etc.).
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize data, identify opportunities, and communicate actionable recommendations.
• Experience working cross-functionally and influencing priorities across content, marketing, product, and technical stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, organization, and project management skills.
• Experience building workflows, frameworks, documentation, or systems that improve team effectiveness and scalability.
• Curiosity about emerging search behaviors, AI-powered discovery, and evolving opportunities beyond traditional search engines.
