DEPLOY has been retained by a fast-growing digital agency specializing in delivering innovative solutions across design, development, data, and technology. We partner with leading brands to create impactful digital experiences, from websites and apps to data-driven campaigns.

In this role as a Jr. SEO Specialist , you'll join a dedicated team of SEO strategists, developers, designers, content specialists, and project managers, and get hands-on experience helping shape exceptional client outcomes.

The SEO/AI Search Specialist supports the SEO and AI Search team in improving organic rankings, site health, and site authority across a portfolio of client accounts. You'll work across both content and technical SEO, from keyword research and on-page optimization to site audits and performance reporting.

This role is a great fit for someone who is highly organized, loves to learn, and takes initiative. You'll juggle multiple engagements at once, so strong executive functioning (planning, prioritizing, and following through) is essential. We're looking for someone curious about how search is evolving, raises their hand to try new things and take on new tasks, and uses AI tools thoughtfully to work smarter, while bringing the human judgment, creativity, and critical thinking that AI can't replace.
