Senior Seo Account Manager

THE ROLE.

As a Senior SEO Account Manager, you will take strategic ownership of multiple client accounts, leading not just delivery but the long-term vision and commercial contribution (identifying opportunities, supporting renewals, and protecting scope) of your portfolio. As a Senior SEO Account Manager at Found, you are the heartbeat of your accounts. You bridge the gap between high-level strategy and day-to-day execution.

You will take ownership of complex client portfolios, moving beyond keyword-led strategies to deliver a holistic organic presence across search platforms including search engines, LLMs, social media and third party websites – connecting technical SEO, UX, multi-modal content brand authority, digital PR, CRO, and AI visibility. You are a project management powerhouse, with strong SEO knowledge and strategic thinking. You will work fluidly with Paid Media, Data, Content, CRO and PR teams to ensure campaigns are integrated and efficient.

You will act as the day-to-day strategic lead for clients, guiding them through the changing landscape of AI search while mentoring Senior SEO Executives to deliver their best work.
