SEO Manager

About the Role

This is an in-house, senior SEO leadership role at a fast-growing AI-powered business communication company targeting SMEs globally. You'll own the full SEO strategy and execution — from technical foundations to content — across multiple international markets, starting with DACH and expanding outward. It's a high-impact, autonomous position at the heart of the company's growth engine.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end SEO strategy and execution across all markets, beginning with DACH and scaling internationally.

• Define page structure and architecture in close collaboration with website and engineering teams on technical SEO.

• Lead keyword research and shape the approach for both traditional search engines and AI-generated results.

• Commission or write content needed to achieve and maintain top rankings.

• Manage a monthly SEO budget of €20,000–€30,000, including oversight of external agencies where appropriate.

What We're Looking For

• Proven track record of building SEO at significant scale in a dedicated, full-time SEO role — with measurable results to show for it.

• Strong international SEO expertise and a clear understanding of how to approach markets beyond your home region.

• Fluency in both English and German (required).

• Hands-on experience with website platforms such as Webflow or similar CMS/site-building tools.

• Strong copywriting skills — the ability to write compelling, optimised content yourself is highly valued.

• Comfort managing external agencies while retaining full strategic ownership.

• Familiarity with AI search and how emerging AI-generated results are reshaping SEO.
