What you’ll do We’re looking for a Technical SEO Manager to scale and optimize our global SEO efforts, drive high-intent organic traffic, and improve revenue growth. This is a unique opportunity to join the Global Growth Marketing Team and shape the technical foundation of our SEO approach. In this role, you’ll support the Director of SEO in developing a best-in-class technical SEO strategy, ensuring our site architecture, performance, and discoverability set us apart. You will be a "hybrid" contributor—someone who can identify problems, write Jira tickets for the engineering team, and, when necessary, get your hands dirty in the codebase to implement fixes. You’ll work cross-functionally with Growth Marketing, Content Marketing, Product, RevOps, Data, and Engineering teams to deliver impactful technical solutions. This role is based in San Francisco. Responsibilities: Roadmap Support: Support the technical SEO roadmap, managing site architecture, crawl budgets, and complex URL structures to ensure indexation is optimized at scale. Engineering Partnership: Partner with Engineering to scope and execute technical changes, including structured data (JSON-LD), internal linking, and international SEO (hreflang, localization). Technical Execution: Proactively identify technical issues and optimization opportunities; write clean, semantic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to directly implement recommendations within our front-end stack (e.g., React, Next.js). Site Audits: Lead comprehensive site audits (crawl errors, redirects, canonicalization, duplicate content) and deep-dive into rendering issues (SSR vs. SSG). Performance Optimization: Relentlessly optimize Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and overall page speed across global markets and devices. Authority Growth: Support off-site backlink strategies by ensuring technical health and site integrity support authority growth. CRO & Testing: Support conversion rate optimization (CRO) initiatives and design/measure SEO A/B tests to validate the organic impact of template changes. Monitoring & Analytics: Establish monitoring and reporting processes using server log analysis and custom dashboards (GSC API, GA4) to measure technical SEO performance. Who you are We're looking for people who meet the minimum requirements for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory. Minimum qualifications: 4+ years of SEO experience, with at least 2+ years specifically in a technical SEO role (preferably in-house for B2B, SaaS, or Fintech). Strong understanding of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript as they relate to the critical rendering path and how search bots parse code. Familiarity with modern web architectures, including Headless CMS, SPAs, and React/Next.js frameworks. Proven track record with international SEO and multi-language/multi-domain strategies at scale. Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn raw data into technical insights and business actions. Deep knowledge of Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, and web performance tools (Lighthouse, WebPageTest). Excellent communication skills to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
