SEO Manager

Remote - U.S. & Canada Only | Full-Time | $65,000-$95,000 USD

We're not hiring an SEO Manager to just chase rankings. We're hiring a strategist who turns search intent into business impact.

Level Agency is looking for a data-obsessed, AI-fluent SEO Manager to own and evolve organic search strategies that drive real results. This is a hands-on role for a marketer who blends technical expertise, content instincts, and AI-powered insights to move the needle for clients.

You'll partner with strategists, analysts, creatives, and clients to shape SEO programs that go beyond vanity metrics. If you can see around corners, explain complex ideas simply, and thrive on outcomes over output, this is your next move.

This Isn't for Everyone

We're building something rare: a performance-driven culture that values truth, speed, and collaboration.

You'll thrive here if

You live at the intersection of data, content, and technical SEOYou're excited about what AI unlocks—not worried about what it replacesYou can confidently lead strategy but aren't above executionYou understand how SEO fits into a broader digital mixYou enjoy cross-functional problem-solving and client-facing work

And you'll struggle here if

You default to best practices instead of tailoring strategyYou wait for direction instead of taking ownershipYou view SEO as a silo, not a growth lever
