Associate Director​/lead Organic Search

We create category leaders. And you can't lead a category if you're invisible when people search.

Organic Media Leads engineer that leadership through discovery. This is a senior strategic role — leading clients to discovery, and leading the Rise at Seven team to success.

, you'll own a portfolio of accounts in a client-centric role, ensuring our Organic Media strategies translate into measurable commercial success. You'll act as the senior strategist on your accounts, working with a team of strategists, creators and analysts to build multi-channel content plans that make our clients the most discoverable brands in their category — with search-first insight at the heart of everything.

You're a performance strategist  take channel plans and turn them into visions that drive commercial value and industry impact— revenue and category leadership. You talk about money, category opportunity, and growth, not just rankings.

You'll be the senior strategic partner your clients can't imagine working without — challenging thinking, spotting opportunities before they do, raising standards, and helping shape the future of Rise's Organic Media proposition.
