Mad Fish Digital is a results-driven digital and creative marketing agency known for its collaborative, innovative, and accountable culture. We partner with ambitious, values-driven organizations to accelerate meaningful growth, aligning brands with impactful performance strategies. Our collaborative team blends strategic insight with brand-led performance rigor to help our clients connect, convert, and create lasting impact.
What You'll Do
We’re looking for a Senior SEO Manager to lead enterprise organic growth programs across traditional search and modern discovery channels—including AI-powered SERPs, Google AI Overviews, and large language models (LLMs).
This is a strategy-first role. You'll own the playbook for a portfolio of enterprise and high-growth clients: shaping the vision, building roadmaps, partnering with content and analytics teams, and guiding execution across every lever that moves organic performance. You'll be the trusted advisor in the room—translating SEO into business outcomes for senior marketing leaders and C-suite stakeholders.
Modern SEO isn't just rankings. It's sustainable visibility, authority, and influence across how people and machines discover information. We want someone who thinks holistically about that ecosystem—content strategy, audience and intent research, digital PR and authority-building, measurement, and yes, the technical foundation that makes it all work.
You'll also help level up the SEO team—mentoring teammates, defining best practices, and raising the bar across accounts.
Qualifications & Experience
- 5+ years of progressive SEO experience, ideally in an agency or enterprise environment
- A true generalist's toolkit: you can move fluidly between content strategy, keyword and audience research, on-page optimization, technical SEO, measurement, and authority-building
- Working knowledge of technical SEO—enough to diagnose issues, scope fixes, and guide developers with confidence (you don't need to be the one writing the implementation)
- Strong analytics and measurement chops (GA4, GSC, Looker Studio)
- Hands-on experience with tools like Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, Semrush, or similar
- Excellent client-facing communication skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders
- Strong organizational skills and comfort juggling multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
Nice to Have
- Experience optimizing for AI Overviews and LLM-driven discovery
- Familiarity with CMS platforms like WordPress, Shopify, or headless setups
- Comfort experimenting with AI tools and automation to improve workflows and insight
Compensation
The base salary range for this full-time position is $84,000 - $95,000 plus benefits.
