Head of SEO – #3514829

Job Title: Head of SEO (Future of Search Focus)

Location: Central London

Salary: £70,000 – £90,000 + uncapped performance bonus

 

The Company

A Central London creative digital agency, genuinely unlike most you will have encountered, is looking for a Head of SEO to own how their clients are discovered across search, social and AI platforms. The culture is ideas-first, the client list is built around well-loved consumer brands, and the energy in the building reflects both.

This is a senior SEO hire, but the role sits in a broader creative environment where search and social are being built into something more joined up. You will lead the SEO team while working closely with the Head of Social to develop integrated social search products and services that neither discipline could deliver alone.

 

The Role

You will own organic search across a portfolio of B2C clients in travel, hospitality and lifestyle, a blend of household names and high-growth incubator brands. Day to day, that means:

  • Leading SEO strategy and delivery across key accounts, owning performance and commercial outcomes
  • Working hand in hand with the Head of Social to develop and package social search offerings for clients
  • Helping clients show up across search engines, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and AI-driven discovery
  • Contributing to new business pitches and driving account growth
  • Mentoring and developing the SEO team

The collaboration with social is central to this role, not a side element. If you are excited by where search and social are converging and want to help shape how an agency responds to that, this is the right environment to do it.

 

Skills & Experience

You are operating at SEO AD or Business Director level in an agency. You have strong SEO foundations, you are confident in senior client conversations, and you understand that search now means much more than Google rankings.

You are not looking to move into pure management. You still want to be in the work, but you want more ownership over strategy, clients and commercial outcomes than your current role allows.

 

The Setup

Hybrid working in a prime Central London office, modern, well-located and the kind of space people actually want to come into, with one day working from home. The office reflects the agency: creative, collaborative and well put together

 

Compensation

  • £70,000 to £90,000 depending on experience
  • Uncapped performance bonus, realistically around £10,000

 

If this sounds like the right next move, get in touch for a proper conversation about the role, the agency and the numbers.
