We hire the best and help them get better. Silverbackers are supported, challenged and inspired by their peers. Regardless of title or tenure, every Silverbacker plays a role in helping our agency get better. This is a place where you can make a difference.
Silverback’s next SEO Manager will serve as a premier subject matter expert in all things related to SEO & Organic Search.
You will develop and manage a portfolio of 4-6 SEO accounts while building great client relationships and managing projects & deliverables. You’ll bring a scrappy & tenacious attitude to your work, diving headfirst into the “new frontier” of organic search by pushing the boundaries of AI search testing. You’ll also flex best-in-class data analysis chops to break down performance metrics and directly impact the success of our clients’ businesses.
Here’s what we expect from our SEO Manager:
—What You'll Do—
Strategic Chops: Responsible for driving and executing the strategy, innovation and performance of multiple client SEO strategies.
AI & LLM Expertise: Hands-on experience with Generative AI and LLMs, including their influence on search behavior and the ability to implement optimized strategies for these engines.
Analytical Skills: Fluently leverage tools such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs, and other SEO platforms, with a demonstrated ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
Client-Facing: Lead recurring status and reporting calls & serve as assigned clients’ primary point of contact with Silverback for all things SEO. Clearly communicate complex SEO strategy and execution details to clients in a digestible, jargon-free manner.
Client Management: Act as a trusted advisor & consultant to clients — an extension of their marketing team — to build long-lasting client relationships.
Tactical Execution: Translate channel strategy to time-bound, tactical roadmaps. Build and maintain structured content systems, including topic clusters, pillar pages, internal links, and supporting schema. Prioritize performance-based initiatives and drive authoritative content at scale.
Innovation: Research emerging trends in search and AI technologies to refine strategies and implement innovative best practices.
Data Analysis: Review performance data to identify trends, measure the impact of initiatives and build actionable strategies.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with internal teammates across measurement, paid media, and creative to bring strategies to life.
—What We’re Looking For—
Agency Background: You’ve previously “done the work” at another performance marketing agency, and know what it takes to deliver results
Years of Experience: We’re seeking candidates with at LEAST 2 years of agency experience; 3 years of overall relevant marketing/SEO experience is required, 5+ years preferred.
Client-Facing Comfortability: This role is not a good fit for someone who doesn’t want to talk directly to clients. You must be comfortable building rapport, establishing expertise / credibility, and serving as the face of the SEO engagement with your assigned clients.
AI Search Testing & Optimization: You have hands-on experience optimizing for AI search (not theoretical; actual tests). You don’t have all the answers — nobody does! — but you’re excited to test, experiment, and figure it out.
Business Acumen: Being able to build & execute SEO strategies across multiple industries is crucial, but your ability to tie SEO wins to a measurable impact on the clients’ business, bottom line, etc is what will make you a superstar.
Content Experience: You’re an expert at driving content strategy based on audience, keyword and competitor research. You have a strong ability to craft content briefs to provide to content teams for production.
Tools/Platforms: You’re a pro with common SEO tools & platforms such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics, SEMrush, AHRefs, and Screaming Frog.
“Get Sh*t Done” Mentality: You’d rather take a big swing and miss than sit around twiddling your thumbs. You’re energized by & thrive in an environment where no two days are the same, and results are king.
Adaptability & Growth: Feedback fuels you. You lean into change, sharpen your skills, and push yourself and your team to get better every day.
Project & Time Management: You run a clean calendar and keep priorities straight. Competing demands don’t throw you.
—Why Silverback?—
Silverback isn’t for everybody. If you’re an A player, you will get paid more, learn more and grow faster with support from a smart and fun team. If you’re a B player, you will be miserable.
Work with the A team: We are ruthless about putting the best possible team on the field.
Make an impact: We’re a small agency. Everybody has the opportunity to drive change and impact.
Get paid: We hire the best and pay them generously.
Do cool sh*t: From media to SEO to measurement, learn the cutting edge of what works.
—Benefits & Perks—
Unlimited PTO
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans
Monthly Team Events and a fun, casual, inclusive company culture
Company-paid ClassPass membership
12 weeks of Paid Parental Leave
Summer Fridays
401(k) with Employer Match

Tips for Your Seo Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to search intent
Generic marketing resumes get filtered out fast. Rewrite your bullet points around organic traffic growth, keyword ranking improvements, and crawl health fixes so hiring managers see SEO outcomes, not just responsibilities. Quantify changes in clicks, impressions, and ranking positions.
Build a portfolio of audit samples
Most seo manager roles expect a technical audit or site review as part of the process. Prepare two or three anonymized audits showing your methodology, the issues you flagged, and what you recommended. Recruiters treat this as proof of independent judgment, not just tool familiarity.
Target openings by search stack not just title
Filter job listings by the tools named in the requirements, such as Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, Semrush, or Botify. Roles built around enterprise platforms like Botify or Lumar signal a different scope and budget than those listing only free tools. Match your experience to the stack.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists seo manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a ranking case study for interviews
Interviewers routinely ask you to walk through a win, not just name one. Choose a project where you can explain the hypothesis, the tactic, the timeline, and the measured result in under five minutes. Avoid vague answers like 'we improved content quality' without showing what changed in the data.
Negotiate using scope not just title
Before accepting an offer, clarify whether the role owns technical SEO, content, or both, and whether you'll manage contractors or an in-house team. Scope determines workload and career trajectory. Use that clarity to negotiate for resources or compensation that matches the actual responsibility.
Seo Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most seo managers?
The companies hiring the most seo managers right now include Cwill, Apple, and Plan Left, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Demand is especially active in e-commerce and B2B SaaS companies that rely heavily on organic acquisition.
How many seo manager jobs are remote?
About 90% of seo manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, making it one of the more location-flexible marketing roles available. Technical SEO and content strategy positions tend to have the highest share of remote arrangements, while local SEO roles tied to physical locations typically require more in-person coordination.
How do you become a seo manager?
Start by building hands-on experience managing organic search for a website, whether through an agency, in-house role, or a project of your own. Develop proficiency with tools like Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, and a rank-tracking platform. Earn Google Analytics certification, build a portfolio of audits or case studies showing measurable ranking improvements, and move into a manager title by demonstrating you can own strategy and coordinate cross-functional teams, not just execute tasks.
Can you get hired as a seo manager with little experience?
Yes, if you can show demonstrated results rather than years on a resume. Build your own site or contribute to a nonprofit's search presence, document the keyword and traffic outcomes, and use that as your portfolio. Many agencies hire candidates with one to two years of hands-on SEO work into manager-track roles if the candidate can audit a site independently, interpret Search Console data, and communicate recommendations clearly to stakeholders.
What does the seo manager interview process look like?
Most seo manager interviews include an initial recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation about your search strategy experience, and a technical or take-home exercise such as a site audit or ranking case study walkthrough. Later rounds typically involve cross-functional stakeholders from content, engineering, or product who assess how well you collaborate. Some employers add a presentation round where you pitch an SEO roadmap based on a brief they provide in advance.
Where can I find and apply to seo manager jobs?
You can find and apply to seo manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to each listing. No external redirects or extra steps are required to submit your application.
