Search Engine Optimization Manager
Confidential, Tampa, FL, United States
We are a
PR agency
seeking an
SEO Manager
who is both
strategic and highly execution-focused —someone equally comfortable presenting recommendations to clients as they are implementing them directly in the CMS or codebase.
This role sits at the intersection of
search strategy, technical SEO, content optimization, and web infrastructure . You will support SEO initiatives across a portfolio of client accounts as well as owned digital properties, with a strong emphasis on
hands‑on auditing, implementation, testing, and continuous optimization .
While this role contributes to overall SEO strategy and planning, success is driven by execution. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys
building, fixing, and optimizing , not just recommending—bringing strategies to life through real implementation across traditional search engines and
Generative Optimization Engines (GEO) , including AI‑powered search experiences.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with deep SEO expertise plus web, CMS, or light engineering experience who thrives in a
client‑facing, high‑impact role .
This is an individual contributor role.
The SEO Manager will be the agency’s dedicated SEO expert, partnering closely with marketing, content, PR, and client teams to lead SEO strategy and execution. This role does not include people management and is focused on hands‑on optimization, implementation, and client collaboration.
