SEO Manager
£40,000 | Leicestershire | Hybrid (2 days per week)
Gleeson Recruitment Group are delighted to be partnering with a well-established retail business in Leicestershire to recruit an SEO Manager.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys owning strategy as much as delivery. You'll take responsibility for SEO across three ecommerce brands, working closely with Digital, Ecommerce, Content and Development teams to improve organic performance and shape the future of search, including AI-led search.
This isn't a role where you'll just be making tweaks to metadata. They're looking for someone who can look at the bigger picture, build an SEO roadmap and identify where the biggest opportunities are across the brands.
The Role
- Own the SEO strategy across three ecommerce brands.
- Build and deliver the SEO roadmap, identifying priorities and opportunities for growth.
- Lead technical SEO, working closely with the in-house development team to implement recommendations.
- Drive keyword research, on-page optimisation and content strategy.
- Develop the business's approach to AI Search and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO).
- Work closely with Paid Media, Ecommerce and Content teams to ensure SEO is aligned with wider marketing activity.
- Analyse performance and provide commercially focused recommendations to stakeholders.
About You
You'll have experience working in an ecommerce environment and be confident owning technical SEO from audit through to implementation.
You'll also have:
- Strong technical SEO knowledge.
- Experience creating SEO strategies and roadmaps.
- Excellent understanding of on-page SEO, keyword research and website optimisation.
- Experience using tools such as Google Search Console, GA4, SEMrush or similar.
- An interest in AI Search and how it's changing the SEO landscape.
- The confidence to work with developers and influence stakeholders across the business.
Experience within retail, fashion or consumer brands would be advantageous, and an agency background would also be of interest.
What's on Offer?
- Salary up to £40,000
- Hybrid working (2 days per week)
- The opportunity to own SEO across three established ecommerce brands.
- A business investing in the future of SEO, including AI Search.
- A collaborative marketing team where you'll have real influence and autonomy.
If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely shape SEO strategy and make a commercial impact, we'd love to hear from you.
