Dorking
Permanent, Office-based£40,000 DOE Incentives
Are you an experienced SEO Specialist who thrives on delivery, technical problem-solving, and driving measurable performance?
If you are looking for a role where your expertise is trusted, your work has real impact, and you can focus on SEO without client-facing pressure, this could be an excellent next move.
We are currently recruiting for a growing digital marketing agency that is expanding its delivery team and is looking for a confident, hands-on SEO Specialist to play a key role in scaling their SEO offering. You will work at the core of the business, collaborating closely with Sales and Account Management to ensure SEO strategies are commercially sound, scalable, and delivering strong results.
This is a non-client facing role. You will be the internal SEO specialist and technical authority, focusing on execution, optimisation, and performance rather than presentations and calls.
The role
As an SEO Specialist, you will take full ownership of SEO delivery across a varied portfolio of clients. You will be trusted to manage your workload, lead SEO projects end to end, and make informed decisions that directly impact client growth and agency success.
- Owning day-to-day SEO activity across multiple client accounts
- Leading SEO projects from audit and strategy through to implementation and optimisation
- Delivering high-quality work on time, with strong attention to detail
- Conducting in-depth technical audits and producing clear, actionable recommendations
- Implementing technical, on-page, and off-page SEO improvements
- Monitoring performance, analysing results, and identifying growth opportunities
- Providing technical SEO insight to support the Sales team pre- and post-sale
- Working closely with Account Management to communicate progress, results, and next steps
- Proactively identifying and resolving SEO issues as they arise
- Staying ahead of SEO trends, tools, and algorithm updates
- Attending industry events and conferences to support continuous development
The candidate
This role suits someone who already has solid agency experience and is ready to step into a more autonomous, trusted position where their technical ability really matters.
- 2 years’ SEO experience, ideally within a digital marketing agency
- Strong hands-on experience with tools such as SEMrush, Screaming Frog, AWR Cloud, Google Sheets (or similar)
- A strong understanding of technical SEO, on-page optimisation, and off-page strategies
- Experience managing multiple SEO projects and competing deadlines
- A methodical, organised approach with excellent attention to detail
- Confidence communicating SEO insights internally with non-technical stakeholders
- The ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a genuine interest in SEO performance
What is on offer
- £40,000 salary (DOE) incentives
- Modern office with onsite parking
- Casual dress code
- Supportive, friendly team culture where your expertise is genuinely valued
- Company trips and regular team socials
- Annual leave increasing with length of service
- Ongoing training, learning, and development opportunities
- Clear career progression within a growing and ambitious agency
This is a strong opportunity for an experienced SEO Specialist who wants to focus on delivery, deepen their technical expertise, and play a central role in a growing agency without the distraction of client-facing responsibilities.
