Client and Cross-Team Collaboration

- Act as the SEO subject-matter expert in both internal and client-facing conversations.
- Work closely with creative, brand, and media teams to ensure SEO strategy is aligned with campaign objectives and platform requirements.
- Define and track KPIs, present performance reports, and recommend iterative improvements.

What you need to be great in this role:

- 5+ years of SEO experience, with a strong track record in both on-page and technical SEO.
- Proficient in tools like Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog, SEMrush, Ahrefs, and site auditing platforms.
- Strong understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript basics as they relate to SEO performance.
- Working knowledge of CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress), tagging structures, schema markup, and Core Web Vitals.
- Experience working in collaboration with UI/UX, development, and content teams.
