Head of SEO
High-Growth DTC Brand
Central London (3 days office based)
£100,000 - £110,000 + Performance Bonus
  
We are working with a future-focused DTC Tech scale-up in London to help them hire for a key role on their team, a Head of SEO.
  
With millions of users globally and availability in 12 languages, they’re driving fast-paced international growth and rolling out new platforms and content formats in 2026. Now backed by AI-powered discovery and design, this is a prime opportunity to lead in an evolving digital landscape where innovation meets purpose.
  
This is not a traditional SEO role. You will drive a future-facing search strategy that spans traditional SEO, AEO and GEO, ensuring content is discoverable across AI-powered experiences. You'll play a central role in how the business reaches, engages, and converts users across 50+ global markets.
  
This is a highly strategic role but you will also need to be comfortable being hands-on and operating in a scrappy, scaleup environment.
  
The Role...
  • Define and execute a cutting-edge AEO/GEO strategy to ensure high visibility across AI-led search
  • Lead the technical SEO roadmap, collaborating with Engineering to ensure scalable best practice
  • Take ownership of product feed performance across Merchant Center and ecommerce surfaces
  • Guide content strategy for high-intent, bottom-of-funnel articles within a branded editorial hub
  • Roll out a PR and link-building strategy that elevates domain authority and organic reach
  • Lead and manage a team of 1-2 direct reports
  
You will need…
  • Experience working in a high-growth DTC brand or agency
  • Track record of leading SEO in consumer, ecommerce, or mobile-first businesses
  • Deep technical SEO expertise and a proven ability working with engineering teams
  • Strong understanding of AI-led search evolution and readiness to pioneer new approaches
  • Experience managing product feeds and optimising for commercial impact
  • Ability to shape performance content that compliments brand voice and storytelling
  • Experience working in multi-market, multilingual environments is a bonus
  
Why you’ll love it…
  • Creative freedom to define the future of SEO in a rapidly scaling business
  • Big impact: your work will shape visibility, engagement and revenue across 12+ markets
  • Inclusive team culture focused on growth, innovation and cross-functional collaboration
  • Access to cutting-edge AI tools and multi-market SEO challenges
  • International footprint with global brand exposure
  • Direct influence over content, product and growth strategy
  • 28 days' holiday + bank holidays
  • Generous parental leave and wellbeing support
