What you'll do

  • Take strategic and operational responsibility for key accounts (e-commerce, international, multi-market).
  • Structure and drive SEO roadmaps with a long-term vision aligned with clients' business objectives.
  • Act as the agency's reference point, ensuring deliverable quality, commitments and measurable performance progress.
  • Lead strategic committees with clients in a senior advisory capacity, not execution.
  • Identify growth opportunities (upsell, new SEO/GEO topics, Search synergies).
  • Explain technical recommendations clearly to non-expert audiences (marketing, e-commerce, digital leadership).
  • Manage and develop the SEO consultants on the accounts they are responsible for.
  • Help formalize the team's methodologies and best practices.
  • Contribute to innovation topics (GEO/LLM, AI applied to SEO) without being the sole technical referent.
  • Work in coordination with SEA, Data and Analytics teams on integrated Search strategies.
  • Contribute to pitches and tender responses on strategic accounts.

What we're looking for

  • 6 to 10 years of SEO experience, including significant agency experience on enterprise-scale accounts.
  • Strong command of SEO fundamentals: technical (crawl, indexing, Core Web Vitals), semantic and performance.
  • Comfortable with reference tools (Screaming Frog, Semrush, Ahrefs, GSC, GA4) without necessarily mastering development.
  • Strong client sense: ability to manage senior advertiser stakeholders with ease and conviction.
  • Natural leadership on their accounts, without waiting for validation at every step.
  • Pedagogy: able to make a complex recommendation readable for a non-technical audience.
  • Collaborative spirit with internal teams (SEA, data, product).
  • Fluent professional English, both written and spoken.

Nice to have

  • First exposure to GEO/LLM topics and the evolution of SERPs (AI Overviews, Search Generative Experience).
  • Experience in multi-market or multi-brand environments.
  • Ability to carry pre-sales topics and contribute to pitches.
  • A genuine interest in the transformations of Search (AI, LLM, integrated Search).
