Responsibilities

• Owning SEO strategy end-to-end for your client portfolio — technical foundations, on-page, and authority
• Leading the team day-to-day: 1-1s, workload management, delivery standards, and developing the people around you
• Running senior client relationships — presenting strategy and performance at C-suite level with confidence
• Championing AI and automation across team workflows: GEO, AI Overviews, DataForSEO, Ahrefs, and whatever comes next
• Keeping campaigns genuinely integrated with Paid Media, Digital PR, and CRO — not siloed
• Contributing to new business pitches and playing a leading role where the opportunity calls for it
• Building Receptional's AI SEO proposition — frameworks, thought leadership, and industry presence
• Travelling to client sites semi-regularly, including occasional trips to the USA for key accounts

Requirements

• 3–5 years' agency SEO experience with strong results across technical, on-page, and off-page
• Solid working knowledge of GEO, AI Overviews, and how LLMs surface and cite content
• Hands-on with Ahrefs or DataForSEO, Screaming Frog, GA4, and GSC
• Genuinely enthusiastic about AI tooling and automation — not just aware of it
• Experienced leading or mentoring others — you've helped people grow, not just delivered yourself
• Commercially minded: you talk about SEO in business terms and spot upsell opportunities naturally
• Confident presenter at senior level — you can hold a C-suite room without a script

Preferred

• iGaming or regulated-sector experience — we'll get you up to speed if not
• Experience contributing to or leading new business pitches
• Thought leadership output — articles, talks, webinars, or industry presence

Benefits

• Competitive benefits, flexible working, and a team that has your back.
• Defined career pathways, personal development plans, and regular appraisals so you always know where you stand and what's next.
• Team training budgets, a Training Academy, an AI-powered learning platform, and a genuine commitment to promoting from within.
• Health and Wellbeing: Free annual health checks, flu jabs, and eye tests. Access to mental health first aiders, confidential counselling sessions, a cycle-to-work scheme, and five paid sick days on top of SSP.
• Time That's Yours: 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) rising to 30 with tenure, your birthday off, flexible working hours, hybrid and remote options, and two weeks working abroad.
• A Team Worth Being Part Of: Regular Lunch 'n' Learns, quarterly off-sites, monthly socials, two paid volunteering days, an annual charity partnership chosen by the team, and an AI Taskforce putting innovation in everyone's hands.
• Pay and Rewards That Reflect Your Work: Competitive salaries benchmarked annually, a company bonus paid twice a year, enhanced pension contributions as your career develops, a Long-Term Incentive Plan, and generous referral bonuses.
• Your Contribution, Recognised: Monthly MVP Award, Values Champion recognition, and an annual Player of the Season award. Weekly shout-outs and appreciation from colleagues and managers are part of how we work.
• Growth without the Gamble
