Please note that this client operates in the education category. The object of this role is to drive efficiency across a large extensive portfolio of schools using AI to drive scalable solutions.
Key Responsibilities
SEO Strategy & Leadership
- Own and evolve the company's organic search strategy across multiple schools
- Lead technical SEO audits, site architecture improvements and schema markup implementation
- Collaborate with content, product and development teams to ensure SEO best practices are embedded in all projects

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
