The work
The SEO/GEO Executive Lead is the senior practitioner on the team — equally at home in a technical audit, a client strategy session, and a roadmap review with engineering. You will lead a team of SEO specialists, own the relationship with senior client stakeholders, and personally drive the quality and direction of the work.
Responsibilities
- Own the end‑to‑end SEO strategy across a large, complex web environment, from technical foundations through content and measurement.
- Personally conduct and QA audits, prioritization frameworks, and execution plans — not just delegate them.
- Step into execution mode when the work demands it, resolving crawlability issues, structuring migration plans, or troubleshooting indexation at the page level.
- Hold yourself and your team to deadlines, and create the conditions for others to do the same.
Technical SEO ownership
- Lead technical strategy and execution across crawlability, indexation, rendering, and site architecture.
- Drive complex workstreams including site migrations, internationalization, canonicalisation strategy, and URL structure decisions.
- Build and govern systems for internal linking, structured data, pagination, and faceted navigation at scale.
- Partner directly with engineering teams — not just hand over tickets, but sit in the work, understand constraints, and find solutions together.
Translate strategy into execution
- Take business priorities, platform changes, org shifts, and emerging channel dynamics and turn them into clear, sequenced SEO roadmaps that multiple teams can act on.
- Provide practical, prioritised guidance to content, development, UX, analytics, and governance stakeholders — especially when everything feels equally urgent.
- Communicate confidently with senior client stakeholders, framing SEO decisions in terms of business impact and risk.
Build for scale through tooling and automation
- Design workflows that reduce manual SEO work using enterprise SEO platforms, crawlers, analytics tools, APIs, and custom scripting where appropriate.
- Develop templated approaches and repeatable processes that raise the floor of the team's output.
- Evaluate and implement tooling with a systems mindset — how it supports process, not just what it surfaces in a report.
Manage and develop the team
- Lead, coach, and quality‑check the work of SEO specialists across the program.
- Create clarity on priorities and ownership so the team can move with confidence.
- Build a team culture where craft, accountability, and intellectual curiosity are the norm.
What you’ll need
- 10+ years of experience in a similar SEO role including:
- Technical SEO experience, including partnering with engineering and site architecture.
- Experience with enterprise-level SEO tools to automate SEO processes (enterprise SEO platforms, crawlers, analytics, custom scripts, APIs).
- Experience leading and executing large‑scale SEO transformations.
- GEO experience and understanding how content, structure, schema, and authority affect LLM visibility.
- Ability to work in a fast‑paced and demanding environment and balance several clients’ needs simultaneously.
Bonus points if
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience.
- Expertise on content systems and information architecture.
- Passionate about SEO, data, analytics and technology.
