Recognized by Inc. 5000 and The Financial Times as one of the 500 Fastest Growing Companies in the Americas five years running, Intellibright is a high-performance digital marketing agency based in Austin, TX. We help mid-size and enterprise companies grow through data-driven strategies across Paid Ads, SEO, Website Development, and Revenue-Focused Consulting.

What You’ll Do:

SEO Leadership & Strategy:

- Lead and grow our SEO & Content teams, fostering a high-performance, collaborative culture.

- Stay ahead of algorithm updates, including AI-driven search changes, and guide clients through shifts in user behavior and content discovery.

Technical SEO & Site Performance:

- Oversee large-scale technical SEO efforts including Core Web Vitals, structured data, crawl/indexing optimization, and site architecture.

- Implement strategies to optimize content for visibility in both traditional organic results and AI-generated summaries.

- Drive audits and diagnostics using tools like Screaming Frog, GSC, GA4, and custom scripts or AI-based platforms.

AI-Enhanced SEO & Innovation:

- Develop and implement workflows using tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, SurferSEO, Clearscope, and MarketMuse.

- Use AI for large-scale automation: keyword clustering, internal linking strategies, and content briefs.

- Evaluate how SGE and zero-click results affect search intent, traffic, and CTR—adjust strategies accordingly.

Reporting, Data, and Client Insights:

- Define KPIs for organic traffic, conversion value, and ROI—aligned with client goals.

- Create performance dashboards and deliver clear, strategic insights to internal stakeholders and C-level clients.

- Translate complex data into actionable business opportunities.

Cross-Functional Integration:

- Work closely with developers, designers, content creators, and paid media specialists to align SEO across all digital touchpoints.

- Advocate for a holistic digital strategy where SEO is integrated, not siloed.

Requirements

- 7+ years of hands-on SEO experience, including technical, on-page, off-page, and content optimization.

- Deep understanding of AI-generated search trends, SGE, and how to adapt strategy accordingly.

- Advanced experience with enterprise tools: GSC, GA4, Screaming Frog, SEMrush, Ahrefs, etc.

- Strong background in technical SEO: Core Web Vitals, structured data, crawl budget optimization, and JavaScript rendering.

- WordPress power user (Elementor/WP Rocket preferred).

- Proven success leading SEO for large, complex websites and scaling content production.

- Experience with backlink strategies, outreach, and local SEO for multi-location clients.

- Data-driven mindset with the ability to derive insights from complex datasets and build client trust.

- Strong leadership and mentoring ability—able to inspire and elevate a team.

- Based in Austin or willing to relocate for a hybrid schedule (MWF in-office).

Benefits

- Base Salary: $102,000–$120,000 (depending on experience)

- Annual Bonus: 5% performance-based bonus

- Retirement: 401(k) with 5% company match

- Healthcare: 100% employer-paid premiums for Blue Cross Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
