Head of SEO (Liverpool)

Too many have been burned, and we exist to turn doubters into SEO believers 👊

Ready to shape the future of organic growth and lead a high-performing SEO team?

If you’re a strategic leader with deep technical knowledge, a proven track record in scaling SEO performance, and a passion for developing people and processes, this is your chance to make a real impact.

We work with ambitious brands across a wide range of sectors - from fast-moving start-ups to global players - offering diverse challenges and opportunities to innovate.

This is a full-time, hybrid role. Our office is in the Baltic Triangle, Liverpool. While we offer flexibility, we’re a sociable team, so we’re looking for someone who can regularly commute in for collaboration and team events.
