Search Engine Optimization Manager

Chicago, IL, USPosted 1 month ago

Job Description

EMSC is seeking an SEO Manager to develop and execute organic growth strategies for a portfolio of clients.

This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on implementation. You will identify opportunities to grow organic traffic and improve visibility across traditional search engines and AI-powered search experiences through content strategy, on-page optimization, technical SEO, and performance analysis.

Important

This is a hands-on SEO role. You will be expected to develop strategy and personally execute SEO work—not simply manage vendors, coordinate tasks, or create reports. The ideal candidate enjoys rolling up their sleeves to build content plans, perform on-page optimizations, conduct research, solve technical SEO issues, and drive measurable organic growth.

You will be responsible for researching, planning, implementing, monitoring, and refining SEO programs for dozens of clients. Success in this role requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to balance multiple priorities while consistently delivering results.

You will work closely with our in-house team of SEO Content Writers, Web Designers, Web Developers, Account Managers, and Social Media Specialists to ensure every client program is aligned toward common growth goals. You’ll also coordinate with third-party partners when additional SEO deliverables are required.
