About the role

We're hiring exclusively on behalf of an SEO agency for an SEO Account Manager. This is a confidential search, so the client is not named here. We'll tell you exactly who they are on our first call.
The Role: As Account Manager, you'll take full ownership of 6–8 client relationships across healthcare, fintech, and AI-driven industries. This is not a task management role. You'll lead strategy discussions, solve complex client challenges, and act as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders — all supported by an internal team of SEO specialists, editors, link builders, and growth engineers. Over time, you'll have the opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role, building your own pod and leading a dedicated team.
Core Responsibilities:
  • Client Ownership: Serve as the primary point of contact for 6–8 accounts. Lead strategicdiscussions, manage communications, and drive retention.
  • Project Oversight: Translate strategy into deliverables. Coordinate with internal SEO, editorial, and engineering specialists to deliver on-time and on-spec.
  • Reporting & Impact: Own monthly performance reporting. Use data to tell compelling stories and make proactive recommendations.
  • Strategic Partnering: Challenge clients constructively. Bring proactive SEO growth plays androadmap updates to every engagement.
  • Internal Collaboration: Work closely with the Director of Ops and CEO to improve deliverysystems and drive agency-wide impact.
What We're Looking For: Must-Have
  • 3–5 years in a client-facing SEO or digital agency role
  • Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals: content, on-page, and off-page
  • Proven track record of owning results for high-value accounts — not just managing tasks
  • Exceptional communication skills and executive presence
  • Comfortable managing multiple clients and projects simultaneously
  • Confident in Google Sheets/Docs, Slack, and project management tools (ClickUp, Asana, orsimilar)
Bonus Points:
  • Experience with AI workflows or automation in SEO (GEO, LLM-based content, AI audits)
  • Exposure to SaaS, PLG, or B2B brands
  • Familiarity with Looker, Supermetrics, or similar reporting tools
You'll Thrive Here If...You excel at combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You're comfortable working directly with executives, translating technical SEO into clear business outcomes. You enjoy building systems that scale and improve over time, and you thrive in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where your work directly shapes the company. The TeamThe agency operates with a lean, ~13-person team of highly skilled professionals across SEO, editing, engineering, and operations. Growth Engineers build AI-powered internal tools. Editors are embedded in each AM pod. The bar is high for both performance and ownership — but you'll have full support from leadership and significant room to grow.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
