SEO Specialist jobs

Full job description

SEO & PPC Account Manager

The role is fully remote, and we'd particularly like to hear from candidates based in SA.

This is an account role with your hands still on the tools. You'll own a portfolio of clients across search and paid media — running the strategy, doing a good chunk of the delivery yourself, and being the person those clients actually talk to. You won't be doing it alone: we have established SEO and Paid Media teams, and you'll be working closely with both.

What the job looks like day to day

Auditing sites and finding the organic opportunities nobody's picked up yet. Building and structuring campaigns in Google, Meta and LinkedIn. Writing copy that performs. Watching the numbers, working out why something dipped, and doing something about it. Running the monthly report call and answering the client email that lands at 5pm.

You'll work alongside our SEO and Paid Media specialists as well as design, dev and content across both offices, so you need to be able to brief people properly and chase without being a nuisance. The time difference between the UK and SA is small, so there's plenty of crossover in the day, but you'll still need to be self-directed and good at keeping people in the loop.

What we're looking for

SEO

• Confident in SEMrush, Ahrefs, Google Search Console and GA4 for audits, keyword research and performance tracking
• Keyword mapping and content gap analysis for client sites
• A good eye for on-page, technical and content opportunities that will actually move organic visibility
• Solid grounding in on-page and technical fundamentals — site speed, indexability, schema — plus link-building principles
• Able to track and report rankings, organic traffic and conversion trends over time
• Comfortable working alongside our SEO team rather than in isolation

PPC and paid media

• Hands-on Google Ads experience is essential. Meta and LinkedIn Ads experience required alongside it
• Platform-specific research: keyword targeting on Google, audience targeting on Meta, audience and job-title targeting on LinkedIn
• A real understanding of how budget and campaign structure relate, and how spend should be split across campaigns, ad groups and platforms
• Comfortable with bid strategies, A/B testing creative, and reading Quality Score and relevance metrics properly
• Working knowledge of Google Tag Manager is useful
• Comfortable working alongside our Paid Media team rather than in isolation

Data and reporting

• Able to analyse across both SEO and paid to spot trends, diagnose problems and shape strategy
• Comfortable building and presenting monthly reports in language a client can follow, with visuals that earn their place
• Turns raw data into recommendations, not just a wall of metrics

Communication and client management

• Excellent written and spoken English, with genuine attention to tone and readability across reports, emails and ad copy
• Confident and proactive with clients. Happy owning accounts end to end and building relationships that last
• Runs the monthly reporting calls and responds promptly to queries by email or phone
• Spots and pitches upsells — site improvements, more ad spend, an upgraded SEO package — where they genuinely help the client
• Strong internally too. Can brief and work with design, dev and content without friction

Hands-on delivery

Beyond account management, you'll be in the accounts yourself when needed: setting up and structuring Google, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns, writing copy optimised for both paid performance and search, and making basic landing page and CRO recommendations to lift conversion from paid traffic.

Experience

2–4 years in an agency environment.

What success looks like

Clients who feel well looked after because the communication is clear and on time, and measurable movement in organic rankings, traffic and paid ROI across the portfolio.
