(Senior) SEO Manager / SEO Project Manager
findling GmbHWir sind eine Agentur mit klarem Fokus auf einen Spezialbereich des Marketings: Suchmaschinenoptimierung. Klingt im ersten Moment nach wenig, ist aber extrem vielfältig. Warum? Bei unser täglichen Arbeit laufen viele Fäden zusammen: Marketing, Technik, Daten und Redaktionelles. Letzten Endes helfen wir aber Unternehmen und den Menschen dahinter, zu wachsen, indem wir deren Informationen so aufbereiten, dass sie so vielen Menschen wie möglich zugänglich gemacht werden. Dabei wachsen wir: Als Unternehmen, als Team und als Persönlichkeiten. Jeden Tag. Und weil wir noch richtig viel vorhaben, suchen wir nach Menschen, die auch Bock haben, etwas zu bewegen, Dinge zu hinterfragen und neu zu denken. Das macht uns aus und das ist vielleicht auch der besondere Flair bei uns, denn Authentizität kann man sich nicht kaufen. Hierarchien oder den berüchtigten "Agenturwahnsinn" wirst du bei uns nicht finden. New Work funktioniert auch in der schwäbischen Provinz.
Role Description Als (Senior) SEO Manager / SEO Projektmanager (m/w/d) betreust du nicht nur einzelne SEO-Maßnahmen, sondern übernimmst Verantwortung für mehrere Kundenprojekte gleichzeitig. Du hältst die Fäden zusammen, priorisierst sinnvoll, steuerst interne und externe Beteiligte und sorgst dafür, dass aus Analysen, Strategien und Empfehlungen konkrete Ergebnisse werden. Du bist fachlicher Ansprechpartner für unsere Kunden, denkst strategisch mit und setzt deine Ideen gleichzeitig selbst um: Statt nur zu delegieren, arbeitest du direkt in der operativen Umsetzung mit und behältst dabei To-dos, Timings und Projektziele im Blick. Aufgaben - Du betreust eigenverantwortlich mehrere SEO-Projekte parallel und behältst Ziele, Timings, Prioritäten und nächste Schritte im Blick. - Du übernimmst die fachliche und organisatorische Verantwortung für deine Kundenprojekte und sorgst als zentrale Schnittstelle für eine klare, verbindliche Kommunikation. - Du entwickelst individuelle SEO-Strategien, insbesondere für E-Commerce-Kunden, dabei leitest aus Markt-, Wettbewerbs- und Website-Analysen konkrete Maßnahmen ab. - Du setzt SEO-Maßnahmen selbstständig und praktisch um – von der technischen Optimierung über Onpage-Anpassungen bis hin zur Erstellung konkreter Content-Briefings und Vorgaben für unser Content-Team. - Du planst, steuerst und monitorst SEO-Kampagnen und sorgst dafür, dass vereinbarte Maßnahmen zuverlässig umgesetzt werden – auch durch dich selbst. - Du beschäftigst dich mit GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) und entwickelst Strategien sowie konkrete Ansätze, um Kundeninhalte für KI-gestützte Suchumgebungen wie ChatGPT & Co. sichtbarer zu machen. - Du bereitest Reportings, Status-Updates und Ergebnispräsentationen vor und erklärst Entwicklungen sowie nächste Schritte verständlich und beratungsstark. - Du verbindest SEO-Fachwissen mit Projektsteuerung, Kundenkommunikation und Umsetzungsstärke. Qualifications - Du hast mehrere Jahre Erfahrung im SEO-Bereich, idealerweise in einer Agentur oder in einem Umfeld mit mehreren parallelen Projekten. - Du bist es gewohnt, mehrere Kunden, Themen und Prioritäten gleichzeitig zu betreuen. - Du bringst Erfahrung in Onpage SEO, Offpage SEO und Content Marketing mit und setzt Maßnahmen auch selbst um. - Du hast ein gutes Verständnis für E-Commerce, Websites, Content-Strukturen und technische SEO-Grundlagen. - Du hast Erfahrung in der Kundenkommunikation und trittst professionell, verbindlich und beratungsstark auf. - Du kannst Projekte strukturieren, To-dos priorisieren und eigenständig vorantreiben. - Du denkst nicht nur in Analysen, sondern auch in Umsetzung, Wirkung und Ergebnissen. - Du arbeitest zuverlässig, organisiert und lösungsorientiert. - Du kannst relevante Referenzseiten vorweisen und konkret erläutern, mit welchen Maßnahmen du die Sichtbarkeit verbessert hast. - Praktische Erfahrung mit GEO ist wünschenswert; wichtiger ist, dass du die zunehmende Bedeutung von KI-gestützten Suchumgebungen wie ChatGPT etc. für SEO verstehst, diese Entwicklung mitdenkst und bereit bist, dich bei sich ändernden Anforderungen schnell und intensiv einzuarbeiten. - Du hast verhandlungssichere Deutschkenntnisse in Wort und Schrift. Benefits - 100 % Remote Work innerhalb Deutschlands: Arbeite dort, wo du am produktivsten bist. - Flexible Arbeitszeiten: Ob Frühaufsteher oder Langschläfer – du findest deinen Rhythmus. - Hochwertige Hardware: Apple MacBook & Co., auch zur privaten Nutzung. - Steuersparcard: Monatlicher steuerfreier Sachbezug nach der Probezeit. - Weiterbildung & Entwicklung: Workshops sowie interne und externe Weiterbildungsmöglichkeiten. - Eigenverantwortung & Wachstum: Eine stabile, wachsende Agentur mit klarer Vision und Raum für deine Ideen. - Onsite-Events & Team-Treffen: Regelmäßige gemeinsame Events für echten Teamgeist trotz Remote Setup. - Bezuschusste betriebliche Altersvorsorge und vieles mehr.
