Ready to shape the future of B2B SaaS SEO while working with some of the fastest-growing companies in tech?
If you're equally passionate about driving strategic SEO initiatives and building strong senior client relationships, we want to talk to you.
We're looking for an SEO Strategist who can lead client conversations, turn SEO complexity into clear business recommendations, and confidently explain what matters, why it matters, and what should happen next.
Our Mission at Powered by Search
We exist to make B2B SaaS companies unstoppable.
We're on a mission to be the best in the world at SaaS marketing — doing work we love, with people we like, how we want.
The Opportunity
As a trusted advisor to fast-growing B2B SaaS companies, you'll join an elite team rated 5/5 ★★★★★ on Glassdoor, where 99% of team members recommend us to their peers.
This is a client-facing strategic SEO role. You won’t just be auditing websites or creating recommendations in isolation. You’ll be expected to lead conversations, explain tradeoffs, guide clients toward decisions, and connect SEO work to business outcomes.
You'll have the freedom to:
Drive holistic SEO strategies that deliver measurable business impact
Build strong, strategic relationships with SaaS marketing leaders
Shape the future of SEO in an AI-first search landscape
Work with a team that values strategic thinking as much as technical expertise
Own client outcomes through clear strategy, communication, and follow-through
What Sets You Apart
You're an ideal fit if you:
Can lead senior client conversations with clarity, confidence, and commercial judgment
Translate technical SEO insights into plain-English business recommendations
Connect SEO initiatives to pipeline, revenue, retention, and client priorities
Build trust with clients by communicating clearly, proactively, and directly
Get energized by analyzing data and uncovering actionable insights
Know how to turn messy SEO data into a clear story and next steps
Are comfortable challenging assumptions, clarifying tradeoffs, and guiding clients toward decisions
Love staying ahead of emerging SEO trends, especially in AI and semantic search
Embrace our core values:
Give a Sh!t
Always Be in It To Win It
Be Obsessed with Serving Others
Practice a Growth Mindset
When We Fail, We Don't Lose the Lesson
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership — 40%
Develop comprehensive SEO strategies aligned with B2B SaaS business goals
Lead strategic client communications, monthly/quarterly reviews, and senior stakeholder conversations
Create and present clear performance narratives that explain results, tradeoffs, risks, and next actions
Turn data, rankings, traffic, pipeline, and conversion signals into practical SEO recommendations
Push client conversations toward decisions, priorities, and committed next steps
Drive innovation in AI-enhanced SEO strategies
Client Success — 40%
Manage and grow a portfolio of 3–5 B2B SaaS clients
Build trust with senior marketing, demand generation, product marketing, and executive stakeholders
Lead strategic planning sessions, performance reviews, and client calls with confidence
Proactively identify risks, opportunities, blockers, and next steps before the client has to ask
Own follow-through by making sure client conversations end with clear actions, owners, and timelines
Communicate progress, risks, and recommendations in a way clients can understand and act on
Technical Excellence — 20%
Guide technical SEO implementation and optimization
Identify technical, content, and authority-building opportunities that can improve organic performance
Develop and optimize conversion-focused SEO funnels
Integrate GA4, GTM, and reporting tools to generate useful performance insights
Recommend and guide advanced schema markup strategies
Prioritize SEO recommendations based on business impact, effort, and implementation realities
Required Experience
5+ years of SEO experience, with at least 2 year focused on B2B SaaS
Previous experience in a client-facing SEO strategy role where you owned client communication, not just execution
Proven track record of driving organic growth for B2B or enterprise clients
Strong portfolio of successful client relationships and retention
Deep understanding of technical SEO, content strategy, analytics, and SEO performance measurement
Experience with GA4, GTM, and modern SEO tools
Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to lead client calls, explain SEO recommendations clearly, and write concise client-ready updates
Strong judgment in prioritizing SEO work based on business impact, client context, and implementation realities
Ability to present performance, risks, opportunities, and next steps clearly to senior stakeholders
This Role May Not Be a Fit If
You prefer doing SEO execution without leading client conversations
You struggle to explain SEO concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
You need someone else to turn your analysis into client-ready recommendations
You are uncomfortable challenging assumptions, clarifying tradeoffs, or guiding senior clients toward decisions
Your written or spoken English is not strong enough for live client-facing strategy conversations
You prefer being handed tasks rather than owning outcomes, priorities, and client follow-through
