They’ve rebuilt their website from the ground up, and with AI and LLM-driven search changing the SEO game, they’re looking for a Technical SEO Executive who can take the reins on site health, performance, and technical optimisation.

Strong working knowledge of WordPress (Elementor) and confidence editing code (HTML, CSS, PHP). You understand Core Web Vitals, mobile-first indexing, crawl budgets, and site architecture inside out. Experience using SEMrush, GA4, and GSC. Bonus points if you’ve explored LLM optimisation, structured data, or JavaScript SEO. Analytical by nature, with a curious mind and a “find and fix” mentality. What’s In It For You Salary up to £40k DOE Healthcare Cash Plan & Company Pension Ongoing training, development and real ownership of your work Family-run business with a supportive, down-to-earth culture Join a growing team that’s genuinely investing in marketing and digital transformation Why This Role Stands Out This is a genuinely rare in-house SEO role where your work won’t get lost in layers of hierarchy or red tape.You’ll see the direct results of your technical improvements, have freedom to test ideas, and work with people who value expertise over ego.
