We're hiring exclusively on behalf of an SEO agency for an SEO Account Manager. This is a confidential search, so the client is not named here. We'll tell you exactly who they are on our first call.
The Role:
As Account Manager, you'll take full ownership of 6–8 client relationships across healthcare, fintech, and AI-driven industries. This is not a task management role. You'll lead strategy discussions, solve complex client challenges, and act as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders — all supported by an internal team of SEO specialists, editors, link builders, and growth engineers. Over time, you'll have the opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role, building your own pod and leading a dedicated team.

- Project Oversight: Translate strategy into deliverables. Coordinate with internal SEO, editorial, and engineering specialists to deliver on-time and on-spec.
- Reporting & Impact: Own monthly performance reporting. Use data to tell compelling stories and make proactive recommendations.
- Strategic Partnering: Challenge clients constructively. Bring proactive SEO growth plays androadmap updates to every engagement.
- Internal Collaboration: Work closely with the Director of Ops and CEO to improve deliverysystems and drive agency-wide impact.
What We're Looking For: Must-Have
- 3–5 years in a client-facing SEO or digital agency role
- Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals: content, on-page, and off-page
- Proven track record of owning results for high-value accounts — not just managing tasks
- Exceptional communication skills and executive presence
- Comfortable managing multiple clients and projects simultaneously
- Confident in Google Sheets/Docs, Slack, and project management tools (ClickUp, Asana, orsimilar)
Bonus Points:- Experience with AI workflows or automation in SEO (GEO, LLM-based content, AI audits)
- Exposure to SaaS, PLG, or B2B brands
- Familiarity with Looker, Supermetrics, or similar reporting tools
You'll Thrive Here If...You excel at combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You're comfortable working directly with executives, translating technical SEO into clear business outcomes. You enjoy building systems that scale and improve over time, and you thrive in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where your work directly shapes the company.
The TeamThe agency operates with a lean, ~13-person team of highly skilled professionals across SEO, editing, engineering, and operations. Growth Engineers build AI-powered internal tools. Editors are embedded in each AM pod. The bar is high for both performance and ownership — but you'll have full support from leadership and significant room to grow.
