Eleven is a growth-focused content marketing agency recently acquired by two industry leaders, specialising in high-performing content strategies for global B2B brands, agencies, and digital publishers. Our team thrives on curiosity, collaboration, and a scientific approach to innovation, continually embracing new technologies like AI.

We're looking for a Head of SEO & Organic Growth to join our senior leadership team. This pivotal role will shape and drive our core offering: cutting-edge, content marketing & SEO strategy. You will be instrumental in steering both internal initiatives and client-facing projects, blending strategic oversight with hands-on execution.

The Role

The Head of SEO & Organic Growth is a senior role, tasked with overseeing key aspects of search engine optimisation and organic growth strategies for our diverse portfolio of clients.

This role blends big-picture strategy with hands-on technical expertise, internal leadership, client-facing communication, innovation, and operational excellence. You will work closely with account managers, editorial teams, senior leadership and the owners to ensure Eleven remains at the forefront of content marketing and organic discovery, develop company-wide SOPs and policies on content marketing and strategy, and contribute to our growing service offering.

This is a hands-on role. With the help of an SEO Exec, you'll spend much of your time executing audits, building frameworks and tools, participating in the writing of SEO reports, and developing content plans and strategies with account managers. 

The ideal candidate for this strategic and operational leadership role is somebody who thrives on solving complex problems, mentoring others, and experimenting with new approaches and automations.

• Help to create unique and innovative Eleven-specific practices and automations.
• Foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and scientific rigor across the team.

Strategic Execution & Reporting

• Design and deliver high-level SEO strategies and assets, while collaborating with account managers for implementation and client alignment(content strategy docs, content plans / calendars, Looker reports and reporting frameworks, regular and ad-hoc audits, etc.)
• Support the development of client KPI frameworks and reporting structures to track and demonstrate impact to clients, highlight progress, insights, and opportunities, and drive iterative strategy improvements.

• Join select client strategy calls to provide senior expertise and represent Eleven’s leadership.

Operational Excellence

• Introduce and integrate automation, AI/LLMs, and new platforms that enhance efficiency and insight.
• Produce clear, polished reports that turn complex data into actionable client recommendations.

Sales & Business Development
