A quick video overview of the role from our founder The Basics: • Growth Plays is hiring a Senior SEO/AEO Manager based in the US, Canada or LATAM, to support and manage ongoing customer engagements and relationships. • You’ll act as the main point of contact for your clients, and focus on building relationships and trust while driving strategy-aligned growth for the long term. • This role is ideal for a well rounded, proven SEO with excellent people and project management skills. • You will work closely with clients and internal teams to ensure that all deliverables and ad hoc requests are sent on time and to specification. • Salary range: $105-140K base salary DOE, plus home internet, coworking space, and necessary office equipment. • End of Year Bonus: $7.5-15K DOE and achieving goals. • 40 dollar a month stipend for coffee and snacks. • Full time role, with health, vision + dental benefits (where 90% is covered by us) • Matching 401K (after 6 months, up to 4%) • FSA option • 3 weeks PTO • That's 15 days vacation of your choosing, and then we shut down fully the last week of the year. Your Background & Skill Set: • You are an experienced and proven agency-side SEO professional with a background in B2B, particularly in SaaS and/or developer tooling. • In house experience is a plus, but several years agency experience is required. • You are learning, testing, and optimizing for AI search and are mildly obsessed with figuring out how this emerging landscape can drive business growth. • You are deadline-conscious, proactive, and able to communicate effectively with customers on all things SEO, technical and editorial. • You have strong project and time management skills. You are organized and love to create and maintain process. • You do not take on an “it depends” SEO mentality or speak in broad hypotheticals. You know how to ask the right questions to get context so you can make recommendations based on potential impact to their goals and the budget/resources available. • You can identify and diagnose straightforward technical issues and explain why and how to remedy the issue: • i.e. dealing with broken links, XML sitemap issues, broken images, page load speed problems, redirect chains, poor internal linking, low CTR due to suboptimal meta data, duplicate content, indexation issues, etc. is a breeze for you. • Another team will be putting together major deliverables, but you must be able to QA and explain the work. • You have a track record for moving accounts forward and creating success with SEO in terms of traffic, leads, and closed-won revenue. • You can speak on SEO in front of executives and clearly demonstrate your expertise — but you also know how to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty and create wins on your own. • Strong communication skills are essential, including the ability to draft clear emails, decks, and strategy documents, and to shoot async videos (via Loom) to walk customers through issues and solutions. • You use generative AI in your day-to-day already.
