SEO Manager

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced SEO Specialist to become the go-to SEO expert for a major brand, working directly with their marketing team while being supported by a specialist SEO team.

You'll own the SEO strategy, work across multiple websites and international markets, and have a direct impact on organic traffic, conversions, and revenue.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Own and deliver the SEO strategy for a major brand.
  • Work directly with marketing teams and senior stakeholders.
  • Lead technical SEO audits and work with developers on implementation.
  • Manage SEO across multiple websites and international markets.
  • Optimise content, site structure, and technical performance.
  • Develop strategies around AI search, semantic SEO, and topical authority.
  • Identify and resolve underperforming areas of organic search.
  • Report on rankings, traffic, conversions, and revenue.
  • Work closely with Content, CRO, Paid Media, and Development teams.
  • Manage SEO budgets and external agencies across link building, digital PR, and outreach.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
