The role

As an SEO Manager you'll be the person who makes sure our content gets found. 

Brandwatch, Cision, and Trajaan are B2B SaaS brands with large, content-rich websites across multiple languages and markets. This role connects what our audiences are searching for with what we publish – planning content, optimizing what's already live, and working with teams across the business to make it happen. It's a content-first SEO role in a team that uses AI extensively across the workflow. 

You'll sit within the Growth Marketing team, report to the SEO/GEO Lead, and work closely with Content, Product Marketing, web, and Design. The role covers all three brands and involves coordinating with Field Marketing teams in local markets. 

Duties and responsibilities

The role is defined, but not limited to, the following:

  • Own the keyword and content opportunity landscape across all three brands 
  • Plan content production using AI-assisted tools – from generating and refining content to getting it published
  • Review and optimize existing content: what to refresh, consolidate, or retire
  • Work with Product Marketing to position product and solution pages for search
  • Collaborate with Design and the web team on page structure and UX decisions that affect visibility
  • Coordinate with Field Marketing teams to align local content strategies with the broader plan
  • Manage internal linking across all sites
  • Track performance and turn the data into clear next steps
  • Help shape the team's SEO and GEO content strategy as AI-driven search evolves
  • Build relationships across the organization to get recommendations moving

Essential Skills and Experience

  • Five or more years in SEO, with a focus on content strategy and on-page optimization
  • Experience with large, content-heavy websites
  • A track record of working with content and marketing teams – shaping editorial plans, creating briefs, and influencing what gets published
  • Strong analytical skills – comfortable with Google Search Console and analytics platforms
  • Clear communication with non-SEO stakeholders: writers, designers, product marketers, and leadership
  • Self-motivation and the ability to manage your own priorities without close oversight
  • Comfort working with AI tools in content workflows
  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken
  • Familiarity with SEO platforms such as Ahrefs

Upon joining Cision, you will immediately have access to a range of benefits that are fully or partially funded by the company and form part of your overall benefits package. These benefits include:

  • Cision Group Personal Pension Scheme
  • Life Assurance
  • Healthcare cash plan
  • Dental Insurance
