Remote – U.S. & Canada Only | Full-Time | $65,000–$95,000 USD
We’re not hiring an SEO Manager to just chase rankings. We’re hiring a strategist who turns search intent into business impact.
Level Agency is looking for a data-obsessed, AI-fluent SEO Manager to own and evolve organic search strategies that drive real results. This is a hands-on role for a marketer who blends technical expertise, content instincts, and AI-powered insights to move the needle for clients.
You’ll partner with strategists, analysts, creatives, and clients to shape SEO programs that go beyond vanity metrics. If you can see around corners, explain complex ideas simply, and thrive on outcomes over output, this is your next move.
This Isn’t for Everyone
We’re building something rare: a performance-driven culture that values truth, speed, and collaboration.
You’ll thrive here if:
- You live at the intersection of data, content, and technical SEO
- You’re excited about what AI unlocks—not worried about what it replaces
- You can confidently lead strategy but aren’t above execution
- You understand how SEO fits into a broader digital mix
- You enjoy cross-functional problem-solving and client-facing work
And you’ll struggle here if:
- You default to best practices instead of tailoring strategy
- You wait for direction instead of taking ownership
- You view SEO as a silo, not a growth lever
Good enough isn't. Your goals keep moving. Your results should too.
Level is a digital marketing agency helping complex, high-consideration brands outperform their last win using AI, data, creativity, and relentless iteration. Our fully remote team blends media, creative, strategy, and analytics into outcomes that actually move the needle.
