We are willing to pay toward the higher end of the range for someone who can demonstrate strong SEO knowledge, leadership ability, strategic thinking, and proven results with U.S. or international websites.

About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced SEO Team Lead / SEO Manager with at least 5 years of proven, hands-on SEO experience to take ownership of the SEO operations for our international and U.S.-focused websites.

We need someone who can lead, coordinate, review, and improve the entire SEO operation.

• Work closely with the backlink/outreach specialist.
• Review backlink opportunities.
• Monitor backlink quality and relevance.
• Analyze competitor backlink profiles.

• Core Web Vitals
• Page speed
• Mobile usability
• JavaScript SEO issues
• Duplicate content
• Structured data / Schema
• Crawlability
• Indexation problems
• Site architecture

5. SEO Team Management

You will lead and coordinate our existing SEO team.

• Indexed pages
• Service-page performance

• Search Console performance
• Backlinks acquired
• Content published
• Technical issues
• Issues fixed

• Problems/blockers
