SEO Team Lead

Our client is the #1 AI-powered job search platform in the US. Team helps candidates find jobs, tailor resumes, and apply automatically. 
2M+ monthly visitors, 50K+ paid subscribers, a team of 70. Their database holds over 1 billion job postings spanning 30 years.

Right now, Google Ads is among the primary traffic sources. The company is ready to invest heavily in SEO and aims to reach 1M+ organic visits per month within 1 year.

What You’ll Be Doing: 
You’ll lead the SEO function from the ground up, owning the full cycle from strategy to search results.

• Strategy & Planning. Develop and execute an SEO strategy to hit 1M organic visits per year and 3M+ over 3–5 years. The market is competitive – Indeed (48M visits/mo), LinkedIn (33M), ZipRecruiter (6.7M) – your job is to find and own niches before others do.

• Programmatic SEO. Scale page creation across key clusters: job listings, salaries, company pages, career tools, remote jobs. Year-one target: 150K+ pages live, growing organic traffic to 1M+ organic visits per month within 1 year.

• Content & Link Building. Work closely with the Head of Content and Head of SEO. Build outreach processes, manage external link-building vendors, and keep the backlink profile growing on schedule.

• Technical SEO. Oversee indexation, canonicals, page speed, and JobPosting schema for Google for Jobs. Prevent technical issues from derailing large-scale page growth.

• Analytics & Reporting. Maintain live dashboards tracking key SEO and business metrics. Weekly competitor monitoring, three-scenario forecasting (optimistic / base / pessimistic).

• Team. Participate in hiring and onboarding SEO specialists (AI-savvy SEO middle, link builder, content managers). Build processes so the team operates systematically, not in firefighting mode.
