What We're Looking For

Experience

  • 4–7 years in technical SEO, SEO consulting, or client services roles at an SEO or digital agency, MarTech/SaaS company, or in-house search team.
  • Proven experience managing multiple client accounts at once, including reporting, QBRs, renewals, and expansion.
  • Hands-on track record of running technical SEO audits and getting recommendations implemented by client or internal dev teams.
  • Experience working with enterprise or mid-market brands across marketing, content, and engineering stakeholders.

Technical & Domain Knowledge

  • Deep technical SEO expertise: crawling, indexation, rendering, site architecture, internal linking, Core Web Vitals, hreflang, and log file basics.
  • Strong working knowledge of structured data and schema.org, and how entities and knowledge graphs influence search and AI answers.
  • Practical familiarity with how LLMs and answer engines retrieve and cite sources, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.
  • Proficiency with tools such as Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog or Sitebulb, Ahrefs or Semrush, and PageSpeed Insights.
  • Comfort with HTML, basic JavaScript SEO concepts, and spreadsheets or BI tools for data analysis. SQL, Python, or Looker Studio experience is a plus.
  • Ability to connect visibility metrics to traffic, conversions, and revenue in a way business stakeholders trust.

Client Servicing Strengths

  • A trusted advisor, not just a point of contact: proactive, organized, and accountable for outcomes.
  • Able to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both developers and CMOs.
  • Strong project management: you keep multiple clients moving without dropping details.
  • Calm and solution-oriented when clients escalate, results lag, or priorities shift.

Core Competencies

  • Technical credibility: Holds their own with in-house SEO leads and developers.
  • Client-first mindset: Anticipates needs, communicates proactively, and follows through.
  • Clear communicator: Turns data into sharp, persuasive recommendations in writing and in the room.
  • Analytical: Comfortable digging into data to find the "why" behind visibility changes.
  • Curious: Keeps up with a fast-changing AI search landscape and enjoys testing new ideas.

Nice to Have

  • Agency background with experience across multiple verticals (retail, CPG, B2B SaaS, travel, financial services).
  • Hands-on experience with GEO or AEO tools, or with running AI search experiments.
  • Experience with international or multilingual SEO, particularly Spanish and Portuguese markets.
  • An existing network within the Mexican or LATAM marketing and agency ecosystem.
  • Spanish or Portuguese language skills.
