Senior SEO Strategist

We're hiring a Senior SEO Strategist! You'll own the strategy for 3 to 5 eCommerce clients, lead a pod of 2 to 5 specialists, and run the QBRs where organic search proves its commercial value.

It's still hands-on, but your time goes on the complex, high-impact work: technical SEO, content strategy and AI search discoverability.

The Senior SEO Strategist is a senior, client owning role within Re:signal’s delivery function.

They act as the strategic owner for a portfolio of clients, taking full accountability for the Organic Search strategy, prioritisation, client narrative and commercial outcomes. Alongside this ownership, Senior SEO strategists remain hands on in delivery, focusing their time on complex, high impact work that requires senior expertise.

They lead a delivery team, partnering closely with Project Management to ensure work is planned, prioritised and delivered predictably within capacity. While remaining directly involved in key strategic and technical deliverables.
