We're hiring full-stack SEO strategists to own client success.

You'll manage the complete SEO picture for 3-5 B2B SaaS clients: content roadmaps, technical monitoring, on-page optimization, and performance reporting. You decide where to invest effort based on what moves the needle.

If you love strategic ownership over a full domain (not just one piece of the puzzle), keep reading.

About Exceed 🚀

We're an SEO and content agency that helps software companies turn organic search into a reliable revenue channel. Unlike traditional agencies that focus on traffic and top-of-funnel content, we prioritize commercial-intent SEO strategies that directly impact pipeline and deals.

Founded in 2023, we're a fully remote team working with ambitious B2B SaaS clients globally. We've built our business on a simple principle: agencies should be measured by revenue impact, not vanity metrics.

We're fully remote and truly flexible—no set hours, no micromanagement, just the freedom to work when you're most effective. In return, you own strategic outcomes: your thinking shapes client revenue, and you're rewarded for quality and impact.

The Role: SEO Strategist

You'll own the complete SEO strategy for 3-5 client accounts—everything from content roadmaps to technical health monitoring to on-page optimization and performance analysis.

The key part? You make the strategic calls. You assess each domain, identify what will drive results, and allocate resources accordingly. Sometimes that's new content. Sometimes it's updating existing pages. Sometimes it's fixing technical issues first.

You'll work independently with full strategic ownership, reporting to our SEO Account Lead and founders.
