About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

**The Role: "Player-Coach"**
Your job is to take the strategy sold to the client and ensure it gets executed perfectly.
You will manage the Content Writer and Link Builder, while personally handling the high-level technical SEO and strategy.
**Operations & Project Management**
The System: Build and own our project management setup (ClickUp/Trello or your preferred tool). Transform our current workflow into a repeatable machine.
The Team: You manage the Content Writer and Link Builder. You review their work. If the content isn't good enough, you send it back. You are the Quality Gatekeeper.
The Schedule: You ensure every deliverable (blogs, links, audits) hits the deadline without the Founder chasing you.
Client Reporting: Provide regular updates and performance reports to clients via Slack, highlighting key metrics and progress.
Growth Support: Assist in drafting proposals and developing SEO strategies for new clients to support agency expansion.
**Technical & On-Page Strategy**
Technical Audits: Run monthly deep-dives using Screaming Frog and Ahrefs. You don't just report errors; you fix them (Canonicals, 404s, Schema, Indexing bloat).
The "Rebuilds": We frequently rebuild or migrate sites (Shopify/WordPress) to escape HCU penalties, including building new sites from scratch in WordPress. You will map redirects, clean metadata, and oversee content migration.
On-Page Optimization: Personally implement high-level optimizations (Title Tags, internal linking structures, and collection page optimization).
**Content & CMS Execution**
Gatekeeping: Upload, format, and publish content to WordPress and Shopify. You ensure the H-tags are perfect, the images are optimized, and the internal links are live before hitting "Publish."
Keyword Strategy: Map keywords to pages to avoid cannibalization and ensure we are targeting high-intent commercial terms.

Requirements

What you’ll need

**Who You Are (Requirements)**
- The "Machine" Mindset: You are organized, thick-skinned, and direct. You identify problems and fix them before the Founder notices.
- Proven Seniority: 4+ Years Agency Experience managing 10+ concurrent accounts. You know how to prioritize revenue-generating tasks over busy work.
- Technical Mastery: You are an expert in Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, and GSC. You can diagnose a traffic drop or a crawling issue in minutes.
- CMS Native: Deep familiarity with Shopify and WordPress, including confidence in building new sites from scratch in WordPress without breaking functionality. You can edit a theme file or install a plugin without issues.
