Position: Head of SEO (US Market)
Senior SEO Delivery Leader (Enterprise | US Market)

Location / Time Zone:  Eastern Time (US) – 5 PM to 2 AM IST

Experience:

10–14+ years

Pepper is building a  new category of content and SEO growth platform —where  strategy, content, technology, automation, and AI  come together to drive measurable business outcomes.

A network of  150,000+ content creators , working with the  top 5% talent

The Opportunity

Oversee:
Technical SEO at scale (indexation, architecture, Core Web Vitals, migrations)

Translate complex SEO concepts into  clear business narratives .

5. Team & Delivery Excellence
Lead and mentor  senior SEO managers, strategists, and specialists .
