What you’ll be doing…
We’re looking for a talented Technical SEO Manager with proven experience in a SEO role, who has a thorough understanding of crawling, indexing and rendering and their importance when it comes to SEO success.
The Technical SEO Manager would be comfortable performing regular SEO audits - including analysis on content quality and concepts such as E-E-A-T - to ensure SEO weaknesses and opportunities are identified and prioritised. With access to many SEO tools as well as log files, Google Analytics and Google Search Console, audits are expected to be data-led and actionable.
Keeping abreast of the latest SEO developments - including Google algorithm changes - is a key part of the role, as is making constant improvements to our bespoke platform to ensure it’s best in class when it comes to SEO. From revamping taxonomies and internationalisation to improving page templates and internal linking, this is a hands-on role where you’ll be helping to shape some of the best sites in publishing. An equally important part of the role is monitoring site health across our wide range of websites, raising bugs and concerns where necessary.
Experience with website migrations would be advantageous, as the Technical SEO team is responsible for all migrations, which typically involve moving acquired websites over to Future’s bespoke platform.
The role would suit an existing SEO Manager who is looking to move into a varied and exciting role working across many established brands, or an SEO Executive / Senior SEO Executive who is looking to make the step up into a more senior role. The role may include line management of other staff.
Experience that will put you ahead of the curve…
- High level of expertise across technical SEO
- Strong understanding of on-page and off-page SEO
- Experience of successful website migrations
- Experience of performing in-depth SEO audits
- Experience in Google Analytics, Google Search Console and Microsoft Excel /Google Sheets is a must
- Proficient with SEO tools such as OnCrawl, Screaming Frog, Content King, Ahrefs, SEMRush and AWR Cloud.
