Senior SEO Strategist & Team Lead

Optima Solutions LLC

OVERVIEW

We are seeking a senior SEO leader who can own strategy, direct execution, and improve measurable outcomes across a diverse client portfolio. This role is responsible for turning search, analytics, competitive, and business data into clear roadmaps – then coordinating the people and technical work required to deliver them.

You will lead complex initiatives such as enterprise URL remapping, site migrations, information architecture, multi-location growth, content refreshes, and AI-search visibility. You will also set priorities and quality standards for work completed by SEO researchers, paid media researchers, writers, and technical partners. The role remains hands-on where judgment matters most, including analysis, quality assurance, technical briefs, and focused on-page edits.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Portfolio Strategy and Client Growth

  1. Own end-to-end SEO strategy for assigned clients, from discovery and baseline analysis through roadmap, implementation, measurement, and iteration.

  2. Develop launch strategies for new clients and refresh underperforming or mature strategies when results plateau, markets shift, or business priorities change.

  3. Analyze Google Search Console, GA4, Semrush, Looker Studio, CallRail, Shopify, and other available sources to identify growth opportunities, performance risks, and attribution gaps.

  4. Prioritize work by business impact, confidence, effort, dependency, and risk – not rankings alone.

  5. Translate research and performance findings into clear quarterly, monthly, and sprint-level plans with accountable owners and success measures. Enterprise Technical SEO and Implementation

  6. Lead complex technical SEO projects, including site migrations, URL inventories and remapping, redirect strategy, canonicalization, indexation, taxonomy, internal linking, crawlability, XML sitemaps, robots directives, and duplicate-content controls.

  7. Create implementation briefs for developers and web teams that include evidence, business impact, requirements, acceptance criteria, dependencies, QA steps, and launch monitoring.

  8. Partner with technical teams to choose practical implementation paths, resolve tradeoffs, and verify that completed work matches the strategic intent.

  9. Manage pre-launch and post-launch SEO validation, escalation, and recovery plans for high-risk changes.

  10. Maintain enough hands-on technical fluency to inspect source-level issues, CMS behavior, templates, structured data, analytics instrumentation, and crawl outputs.
    Research, Content Direction, and AI Search

  11. Lead keyword, search-intent, audience, competitor, SERP, content-gap, and market research for both existing and prospective clients.

  12. Turn research into site architecture, page strategy, content briefs, refresh plans, internal linking systems, and scalable local or enterprise content models.

  13. Direct writers and researchers with clear priorities, evidence, page objectives, source expectations, and definitions of done; review work for strategic quality before publication.

  14. Complete focused on-page edits when needed, including titles, descriptions, headings, internal links, FAQs, structured answer blocks, and small content improvements. This is not a primary copywriting role.

  15. Develop and test practical workflows for AI Overviews, generative search, and LLM visibility while maintaining strong technical SEO and content-quality fundamentals.
    Team Leadership and Operating Cadence

  16. Set weekly priorities and direct work across junior SEO researchers, paid media researchers, writers, and supporting contributors.

  17. Assign the right work to the right owner, provide context and acceptance criteria, review outputs, coach for improvement, and intervene when quality or timelines are at risk.

  18. Establish repeatable workflows, quality-control checklists, documentation, and decision standards that help the broader SEO and content team work faster and more consistently.

  19. Own Semrush workspace governance, including project setup, position tracking, keyword tagging, competitor sets, site-audit configuration, alerts, issue triage, and reporting consistency.

  20. Identify capacity constraints, dependencies, and skill gaps early; escalate clearly and recommend a path forward.
    Client Communication and Performance Reporting

  21. Record clear, concise Loom walkthroughs that explain performance, decisions, risks, priorities, and next steps for clients and internal stakeholders.

  22. Lead or support client strategy conversations and present complex SEO topics in practical business language.

  23. Deliver decision-ready reports that connect visibility and traffic to qualified leads, revenue, conversions, engagement, and other client outcomes.

  24. Communicate early when performance changes, data quality is uncertain, or implementation constraints require a strategy adjustment.
    Cross-Channel Collaboration and Attribution

  25. Share organic query, audience, page, and conversion insights with the paid media team to improve targeting, landing pages, and budget decisions.

  26. Use paid search learnings to sharpen organic strategy, content prioritization, and conversion- focused page improvements.

  27. Review call and form data in CallRail and, when applicable, revenue or product outcomes in Shopify, and flag tracking or attribution issues that could distort decisions.

  28. Coordinate with account, web, analytics, content, and paid media teams so strategy and execution stay aligned.
