Having launched over 300 sites on Shopify, we're proud to be a trusted long-term growth partner for some of the most prominent brands in ecommerce, spanning all industries and verticals. THE OPPORTUNITY We're seeking an experienced SEO Director to lead and grow Domaine's SEO practice across a portfolio of world-class ecommerce brands spanning fashion, beauty, food, and lifestyle. This is a senior, strategic role with real autonomy — you'll own the SEO function end-to-end, set the direction for how the practice evolves, and build the team behind it. If you're someone who wants to do meaningful work with brands you're proud of, this is that role. The space is moving fast. AI Search and GEO are reshaping how brands get discovered, and we want someone who finds that genuinely exciting — who stays ahead of the curve, experiments, and brings fresh thinking to a practice that's still being defined. You'll have the room to push the work forward, not just maintain it. You'll inherit an established, active practice — not a blank slate. There's a portfolio of retainer clients, active site migrations, project work, and a sales pipeline in flight. Infrastructure, tooling, and templates are already in place.

Essential - Proven SEO expertise with demonstrable results across ecommerce brands - Strong technical SEO foundation: auditing, diagnosing, and speccing fixes — even when you're not the one implementing them - Natural ability to juggle priorities and stay proactive across multiple client accounts - Experience collaborating cross-functionally — with engineering, content, design, and sales teams - Proficiency with GSC, SEMrush, Google Analytics, and SEO crawling tools - Desire to build and grow — excited by the prospect of hiring and scaling a team and practice Preferred - Experience in a digital agency or multi-client environment - Hands-on Shopify experience (platform knowledge a significant plus) - Familiarity with AI Search / GEO strategies and LLM visibility monitoring - Experience directing content strategy without owning content production - Background in business development: audits, proposals, and pricing - Experience hiring or managing junior SEO team members PERKS & BENEFITS - Competitive healthcare with dental & vision - Retirement savings plan with employer matching - Generous PTO policy with paid end-of-year closure - Flexible working schedule - Remote-first culture - Home office stipend - Apple gear - Continued education and personal development opportunities We are an Equal Opportunity employer.
