Seo Executive

Poolhall Recruitment Ltd • Full-time • Birmingham, West Midlands (County), GB • £30k - £32.50k / year • 2d ago

This is an excellent opportunity for an SEO professional looking to take on more responsibility and progress into a senior-level position within a growing marketing agency.

You’ll join a small, highly skilled team where quality matters, decisions are trusted, and your work has visible impact. There’s no excessive sign-off or box-ticking — you’ll be judged on outcomes, not activity.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of SEO strategy and performance across a portfolio of client accounts, translating commercial objectives into clear, effective SEO plans.

This is a hands-on role with autonomy. You’ll execute high-impact SEO work yourself while selectively delegating where appropriate, deciding what matters most and how to prioritise it. When performance stalls, you’ll diagnose issues, adjust strategy, and drive improvements without waiting for instruction.

Over time, this role offers a clear path into a more senior SEO position as you demonstrate ownership, decision-making, and consistent results.
