Senior SEO Strategist – Technical & Client-Facing (Agency Role | Remote, UK)

About the Role

We are hiring on behalf of a high-performance digital agency for a Senior SEO Strategist with strong technical capabilities and deep, hands-on experience in SEO strategy development. This is not a traditional account management or sales role—it's a strategy-first, SEO-specialist position with client leadership responsibilities. You'll be the SEO lead for high-profile clients, responsible for advanced technical, on-page, and off-page SEO strategy and execution, with support from a skilled team.

Who This Is For

This role is ideal for a seasoned SEO professional who thrives in a fast-paced agency environment, enjoys solving complex SEO challenges, and is comfortable leading strategy calls, audits, and implementation planning. You’ll be the technical brain behind SEO success, not a liaison or project coordinator.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Lead SEO strategy and execution for multiple high-value clients—owning outcomes, performance, and innovation.
  

• Conduct in-depth technical audits, identify ranking opportunities, and deliver data-driven action plans that drive traffic and conversions.
  

• Be the main SEO expert in client calls, translating technical recommendations into business value clearly and confidently.
  

• Oversee SEO deliverables including site structure, crawl optimization, schema, Core Web Vitals, internal linking, and international SEO.
  

• Collaborate closely with in-house teams across paid media, content, and CRO to deliver integrated digital strategies.
  

• Mentor junior SEOs, contribute to operational improvements, and support the agency’s continuous evolution of SEO best practices.
  

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on SEO experience (minimum 2+ years in a digital agency).
  

• Strong proficiency in technical SEO, site migrations, mobile and AI-driven SEO, structured data, and content strategy.
  

• Proven experience owning SEO strategy for complex, large-scale websites or e-commerce platforms.
  

• Comfortable with advanced tools like Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, GA4, Ahrefs, Semrush, Search Console, Clarity, Tag Manager, Looker Studio, etc.
  

• Ability to write and present strategy decks and performance reviews—backed by analytics and technical insight.
  

• Confident communicator with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  

• Commercial awareness and the ability to align SEO performance with business objectives.
  

Bonus Points For

• Experience with AI Search Optimisation, voice search, and NLP-based content structuring.
  

• Web development background (e.g., HTML, CSS, WordPress/Elementor).
  

• Familiarity with conversion optimisation, UX audits, and international SEO challenges.
