We are recruiting on behalf of a growing digital marketing agency that is looking to add an SEO Executive to its delivery team. This role sits at the heart of the business, working closely with Sales and Account Management to ensure SEO strategies are effective, scalable, and aligned with commercial goals.

This is not a client-facing role. Instead, you will act as the internal SEO specialist, feeding insight back to the Account Management team and supporting Sales with technical expertise before and after deals are closed.

The Role
As an SEO Executive, you will be responsible for managing and delivering SEO activity across a portfolio of new and existing clients. You will take ownership of execution, performance monitoring, and problem-solving, while ensuring projects stay on track and are delivered to a high standard.

  • Managing day-to-day SEO activity across multiple client accounts
  • Keeping SEO projects on track and ensuring deliverables are met on time and to a high standard
  • Working closely with the Sales team to support proposals and provide technical SEO input pre and post sale
  • Communicating insights, results, and challenges to the Account Management team, highlighting what is and isn t working
  • Conducting website audits and developing clear, actionable SEO strategies
  • Implementing technical, on-page, and off-page SEO improvements
  • Monitoring SEO performance and identifying opportunities for growth
  • Staying up to date with SEO trends, algorithm updates, and best practices
  • Proactively identifying issues and taking ownership of solutions
  • Attending relevant industry conferences and events to support continued learning


The Candidate
The ideal candidate will have agency experience and be confident working in a fast-paced environment where collaboration and communication are key.

  • A minimum of 12 to 18 months SEO experience within a marketing agency
  • Experience using SEO tools such as SEMrush, AWR Cloud, Screaming Frog, and Google Sheets (or similar)
  • A strong understanding of technical SEO, on-page optimisation, and off-page strategies
  • The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
  • Strong organisational and time management skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Confidence working with internal stakeholders, including Sales and Account Management
  • The ability to work independently while also contributing as part of a team
  • A proactive, self-motivated mindset with a problem-solving approach


In return

  • Modern office environment with onsite parking
  • Casual dress code
  • Supportive and friendly team culture
  • Company trips and regular team events
  • Annual leave increasing with length of service
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Clear career progression within a growing agency


This is an excellent opportunity for an SEO Executive who wants to focus on delivery, performance, and collaboration, while playing a key role in supporting sales growth and long-term client success.
