Director, SEO
About The Position

Ultimately, working with our product team to use AI to automate and improve the effectiveness of these strategies. Our clients are primarily highly competitive law firms where SEO directly impacts revenue. Every recommendation must be backed by data, prioritization, and measurable business outcomes. The ideal candidate combines deep technical SEO expertise with strong leadership, operational discipline, and an obsession with continuous learning.
