About the Role: As our SEO Manager, you will be the absolute owner of our organic search strategy.

• Content Strategy & Intent Mapping: Lead comprehensive keyword research targeting consumer trends in the organic food, clean-label, and wellness spaces. Partner with creative teams to optimize product descriptions, collection pages, and recipe/lifestyle blogs.
• Structured Data & Rich Snippets: Implement advanced schema markup (such as Recipe, Product, Review, and FAQ schemas) to win rich snippets, image search real estate, and visual search features.
• Link Building & Digital PR: Develop and execute white-hat off-page strategies to earn high-authority backlinks through industry partnerships, food/wellness bloggers, and lifestyle media outlets.
• Performance Analytics & Tracking: Track, analyze, and report on organic revenue, keyword rankings, traffic patterns, and overall ROI using GA4, Google Search Console, and enterprise SEO software.
• Algorithm & Trend Adaptability: Monitor search engine algorithm changes and emerging search trends (including AI-driven search engines) to proactively pivot strategies for both brands.

Qualifications:

• At least 3 to 5+ years of proven experience working as an SEO Manager, or in a similar digital marketing role.

• Ability to manage multiple tasks, projects, or web properties at the same time.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills for collaborating with internal teams.
• Basic ability to analyze website traffic, track performance metrics, and understand data.
