Director of SEO

We are looking for a veteran SEO to become our Director of SEO, working under our VP of SEO Strategy.

The ideal candidate will bring extensive, real-world knowledge of holistic SEO. That means technical, content, and link building. You'll work closely with other team members, and on direct client work -- the majority of your role is directing, guiding, and leading SEO strategy for our clients, many of which are billion-dollar, publicly traded companies.

Do you read about SEO daily? Do you keep up with best practices?

Then you'd be a great fit for our company culture, and vision we've set: become the best SaaS SEO agency.

Our mission is serious, and runs deep within the company culture: we are all building towards something meaningful. If it sounds cheesy, lame, or "over the top" -- this isn't the right fit for you.
