Organic Performance Account Manager in London

ROAST is a multi-award-winning independent full-service media agency, founded in 2015. We proudly work with brands like Rightmove, Experian, and LEON, with one clear goal: to deliver better return on advertising spend (ROAS) than anyone else. How do we do it? By combining both media intelligence and data science, along with constant experimentation, we create solutions that will drive the biggest impact. But none of this works without exceptional people - which is why we put talent first, always. Training, progression, and opportunities to learn are baked into how we work. We want our people to feel happy, supported, and inspired. Exceptional company culture isn’t an add-on at ROAST - it’s the engine. It powers everything: creativity, collaboration, retention, results. We’re proud of the culture we’ve built, because it’s authentic and intentional. Rooted in shared values, not just surface perks. ROAST have created a place where people belong, grow, and do their best work - together.

The Role

We’re looking for a talented Organic Performance Manager to join our agency. You will be joining a supportive and encouraging team of SEO’s that are always looking for the next new thing in the industry. We thrive on problem solving, collaboration, digging down into data, and telling a great story to our clients. Our Managers deliver market-leading strategy, analysis & insights, and prioritised actionable solutions for each of our clients. We’re looking for someone to join our team that wants to develop cutting-edge technical skills, insightful analysis, and strategic thinking.

You will manage multiple Organic Performance accounts; being responsible for their individual SEO strategy and prioritised task road map. We expect a manager to be able to assess and deliver long term growth alongside sustainable quick wins. You will be accountable for the work done on the projects you lead and should be comfortable with taking ownership of problems as well as solutions. Your clients should be happy with the work you do and feel confident that it aligns with their business objectives.

Responsibilities

• Develop client relationships by acting as a partner and having a deep understanding of their business and its challenges.
• Build a trusting relationship with your clients via general client servicing such as responding to client emails, regular reporting comms, meetings and calls.
• Manage timelines, expectations and deliverables to ensure projects are on-time and within budget.
• Manage your direct teams’ workload as well as their training & development as SEOs.
• Recommend and prioritise fixes for technical issues that will impact organic performance and be able to explain clearly why you have undertaken certain technical SEO tasks and be able to report on their effect.
• Identify opportunities that will affect the wider Organic Performance team (Algo updates, changes to SERPs, new tools, etc.).
• Identify opportunities to involve other departments (including design, development and content) and threats that may impact their work.
• Share your technical knowledge with other members of the Organic Performance team, working collaboratively to solve problems and test solutions, and advising on client strategies.
