The Company

A well-known, product-led consumer brand with a significant eCommerce footprint. The team is expanding its organic growth engine and investing in modern tooling, page performance and cross-functional delivery.

The Role

Own the technical SEO roadmap across crawlability, indexation, site performance and scalable on-site foundations. You'll work closely with Product, Engineering and Content to identify issues, quantify impact, and ship improvements that lift qualified traffic and revenue. This suits someone hands-on who can translate diagnostics into developer-ready actions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead comprehensive technical audits and maintain a prioritised backlog tied to commercial impact.
  • Monitor and optimise crawl budget, sitemaps, robots rules, canonicals and hreflang (incl. international SEO).
  • Improve Core Web Vitals and page speed; partner with engineering on rendering, JS hydration and asset optimisation.
  • Own technical SEO requirements for site changes and migrations (redirect mapping, log-file checks, parity testing).
  • Implement and validate structured data (JSON-LD), fix rich result issues and schema drift.
  • Build/maintain dashboards to track organic KPIs; measure tests and quantify revenue impact.
  • Work in agile squads; write clear tickets, acceptance criteria and change notes for release cycles.
  • Evangelise SEO best practice across product and content; provide enablement and simple playbooks.

Skills & Experience

  • Essential:
  • 3+ years in Technical SEO for large, complex or eCommerce sites.
  • Fluent with GA4, Google Search Console and enterprise crawling tools (Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, Lumar/Deepcrawl).
  • Solid grasp of HTML/CSS/JavaScript and how client-side rendering affects discoverability and CWV.
  • Evidence of delivering measurable gains (indexation, rankings, traffic, CTR, revenue).
  • Comfortable collaborating with engineers and writing actionable JIRA/ADO tickets.
  • Nice to have:
  • SQL for analysis (e.g., BigQuery/Looker) and basic data QA.
  • Python for automation/log parsing (pandas, requests) and Search Console API usage.
  • International SEO experience (hreflang, ccTLD/subfolder strategies).
  • Experience with A/B testing and measurement frameworks.
