• New Business & Pitching: Own the technical SEO evaluation for prospective clients during the new business phase, identifying search opportunities and confidently presenting technical strategies within pitch presentations.
• Mentorship & Team Upskilling: Act as a technical mentor for junior team members (Executives, Analysts, and Strategists), leading internal training sessions and helping upskill the wider department on technical SEO best practices.
• Process, Tooling & Agentic Solutions: Collaborate closely with our Head of SEO on key strategic projects, process improvements, agency tooling, and the exploration and implementation of agentic AI solutions to automate and enhance technical SEO workflows.

Requirements

• Technical SEO Expertise: In-depth understanding of technical SEO across all facets, including crawling, indexing, rendering, Core Web Vitals, site architecture, and code-level optimisation.
• Site Migrations Leadership: Leading end-to-end site migrations from a technical SEO perspective—from pre-migration scoping, auditing, and redirect mapping through to launch execution and post-migration performance monitoring.

• You should be comfortable playing a pivotal role in commercial opportunities—owning technical SEO evaluations during new business pitches—as well as acting as a mentor to inspire and upskill junior members of the team. Additionally, you should be forward-thinking and eager to embrace emerging technologies, helping to evaluate and integrate AI and agentic workflows into our technical SEO deliverable processes.
