Title: Senior SEO Strategist

The Role 

The Senior SEO Strategist is responsible for weaving together technical, off-page, and on-page search engine optimization tactics into a successful strategy. This Strategist works in close collaboration with other Production teams, Account Managers, Account Analysts, and of course their assigned clients. You’re at the point in your career when you do more than simply execute as you’re told. You’ve been starting to get a stronger grasp on building a comprehensive SEO strategy and articulating how your SEO strategy ties together with your client’s business objectives, although you recognize you’re still a work in progress. You aren’t quite comfortable handling difficult clients solo, but you’re open to challenges and eager to learn as you step into a more consultative partnership with your clients.

As a Senior SEO Strategist, you will be assigned a roster of clients for whom you’ll assist in driving SEO strategy, tactics, and overall success. You will be part of the day-to-day assembly, execution, and maintenance of SEO strategies, including keyword research, auditing, portfolio management, and opportunity analysis. Part of your workload includes facilitating the execution of multi-location and custom SEO campaigns. You will be expected to carry out your project plan (or collaborate with other teams as appropriate), ask the questions needed to keep the work moving, speak with clients as needed, and pivot based on data outcomes.
