Senior Technical SEO Manager

Your responsibilities include: Own the SEO roadmap, from identifying opportunities to prioritising initiatives and measuring impact. Lead technical SEO initiatives across crawling, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, rendering, and JavaScript SEO. Analyse organic performance using Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Oncrawl, Screaming Frog, and other SEO tools. Work with large datasets (SQL and BigQuery are a plus) to uncover opportunities beyond standard reporting. Partner with engineering and product teams to ship technical improvements that move the needle. Drive international SEO strategy, including hreflang implementation and scalable site architecture. Collaborate with content teams to identify search intent and prioritise high-impact content opportunities. Support authority growth through digital PR and strategic link acquisition. Build reporting that connects SEO performance to traffic, revenue, and business growth. Design, run, and evaluate SEO experiments to continuously improve performance. What We're Looking For We're looking for someone who brings most of the following: Proven experience growing organic traffic through SEO. Strong understanding of technical SEO and how modern websites work. Experience working with Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, SEMrush, or similar SEO platforms. Confidence working with data to turn complex problems into clear, actionable insights. Experience collaborating with engineering, product, or development teams. A naturally curious mindset—you enjoy understanding why something happens, not just what to change. Nice to Have Experience working on large-scale websites such as ecommerce, SaaS, marketplaces, or publisher platforms. SQL and/or BigQuery experience. Deep expertise in site architecture, crawl optimisation, and JavaScript SEO. Experience with BI tools such as Looker Studio, Tableau, or Power BI. Familiarity with SEO testing or experimentation frameworks. What You'll Get Real ownership without having to fight for SEO to be taken seriously. Interesting technical challenges beyond content optimisation. The tools, data, and engineering support needed to do great work. Close collaboration with product, engineering, and marketing teams. A direct line between your work and measurable business outcomes. Who Thrives Here You're curious, analytical, and enjoy digging into complex problems. You're just as comfortable thinking strategically as you are getting hands-on with implementation. You challenge assumptions with data, enjoy working across teams, and care more about impact than activity. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
