Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've grown organic traffic 50%+ YoY at a B2B SaaS company and tracked it to pipeline impact
  • You understand technical SEO and can work with engineering to implement on-page optimizations
  • You're comfortable being the solo organic growth driver and building cross-functional partnerships
  • You obsess over metrics and can articulate ROI in revenue/MRR terms, not just vanity traffic
  • You write clearly and can manage both strategy and content execution
Won't Work If
  • You've only done agency SEO or link-building work without exposure to conversion tracking and demand gen
  • You need a huge team or extensive support—this role requires self-direction and scrappy execution
  • You treat SEO as a check-the-box deliverable rather than a growth lever tied to revenue
