SEO Manager

About Bigg

Bigg is one of Bristol's leading digital marketing agencies, delivering high-performing campaigns across SEO, Paid Media, Content, and Social.

We are a team of around 20 marketers who care about doing great work, building trust with clients, and helping each other grow. Our culture is collaborative, ambitious, and down-to-earth.

The Role: SEO Manager

We are looking for an experienced SEO Manager to join our growing SEO team and take ownership of delivery across a portfolio of client accounts.

This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who combines strong technical SEO knowledge with the ability to lead and coordinate a team. You will sit between our Head of SEO and the wider delivery team, ensuring campaigns are executed to a high standard and results speak for themselves.

This is not a client-facing role. Our Client Services team manages client relationships directly, so you can focus on what matters most: doing great SEO work and making sure the team around you is set up to deliver.

Key Responsibilities

Technical SEO & Delivery

• Lead technical SEO audits and prioritise fixes that will have the greatest impact on performance

• Own on-site optimisation across crawl management, site architecture, structured data, and Core Web Vitals

• Develop keyword strategies, content optimisation plans, and internal linking improvements

• Collaborate with our in-house developer to brief, scope, and QA technical changes

• Monitor organic performance and provide clear, commercially focused insight to internal stakeholders

Team Leadership & Coordination

• Oversee the day-to-day workload of SEO Executive(s) and the Delivery Coordinator

• Mentor junior team members through regular feedback, guidance, and support

• Brief the team clearly and follow up to ensure quality and on-time delivery

• Proactively flag risks, blockers, or capacity issues to the Head of SEO

Internal Collaboration

• Work closely with Client Services to provide campaign updates and technical input for client conversations

• Join client calls when technical expertise is needed, as directed by the Head of SEO

• Support the Head of SEO with performance input for QBRs and strategic reviews

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of SEO experience, ideally agency-side

• Strong technical SEO knowledge, including crawl management, structured data, and Core Web Vitals

• Confident with Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog, and SEMrush or Ahrefs

• Able to manage multiple accounts and priorities simultaneously

• Clear communicator who can translate complex SEO into straightforward recommendations

• Experience producing performance reports with commercially focused insight

• Some familiarity with HTML or CSS as it relates to technical SEO is a bonus

• Experience mentoring or coordinating junior team members is a bonus

Why Join Bigg

• £32,000 – £37,000 salary

• Profit-related bonus scheme

• Hybrid working – 3 days in our Bristol office, 2 from home

• Early finish on Fridays

• Office dogs and a relaxed, supportive culture

• Regular socials and team events

• Free fruit and snacks

• Pension scheme

If you are ready to take ownership of SEO delivery, develop your team, and make a real impact inside a growing independent agency, we would love to hear from you.
