A high-growth, technology-led business is looking for an experienced Head of SEO to own and evolve one of its most important customer acquisition channels. Following a period of strong growth and continued investment, the business is building a more specialist marketing function and is looking for a hands-on senior level SEO professional who can combine strategic thinking with practical delivery. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys operating at both a strategic and executional level, helping shape the future direction of SEO whilst remaining close enough to delivery to make a tangible impact.
The Opportunity
- You’ll take ownership of SEO across multiple brands, working closely with content, development, paid media and senior stakeholders to drive sustainable organic growth.
- This is not a role for someone who wants to spend all day in meetings.
- The successful candidate will be expected to lead from the front, identify opportunities, solve problems and execute against a clear growth plan.
- Initially, the role is likely to be balanced across strategy and execution, making it ideal for someone who still enjoys being involved in delivery.

- Drive organic growth through technical, content and authority-building initiatives.
- Conduct audits and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Work closely with development teams to prioritise technical SEO projects.

- Monitor performance and provide clear recommendations to senior stakeholders.
- Manage budgets, planning and resource allocation.
- Mentor and develop junior team members.
- Stay ahead of industry developments, algorithm updates and emerging AI-driven search trends.
About You
- Significant SEO experience, ideally gained over 10+ years.
- Strong understanding of technical, on-page and content SEO.

- Commercially minded with a strong analytical approach.
- Comfortable balancing strategy with hands-on delivery.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Experience managing or mentoring team members.
- Familiarity with SEO tools and platforms.
We're open to candidates from agency, ecommerce, marketplace, SaaS or other digitally-led environments, provided you remain close enough to execution to be genuinely hands-on.
Why Apply?
- Opportunity to shape a key growth channel.
- High visibility and influence within the business.
- Significant investment in marketing and digital growth.
- Collaborative and entrepreneurial environment.
- Clear opportunity to build and develop the function over time.
