Is This Role For You?
- You've spent 6–10 years in SEO, ideally in agency or startup; you know technical audits, content strategy, and netlinking cold
- You've managed a team or owned a high-stakes client book and driven real revenue growth through upsell and strategy
- You see SEO as a lever for sustainable business growth, not a checkbox; you can talk about ROI with non-marketers
- You're hands-on with AI and automation tools; you actively use them to save time on operational work so you can focus on strategy
- You're curious, ambitious, and genuinely enjoy solving messy problems—creative, technical, or organizational
- You want a pure hands-off management role; this is owner-operator level: you build strategy *and* execute, audit, and brief
- You've never managed clients or teams; the role requires full autonomy and mentorship of junior staff
- You're not comfortable with GEO, technical SEO, or netlinking; this role demands depth across all three pillars
- You're not interested in staying current with search algorithm changes, AI, and emerging tactics; learning is baked into the role
