We're looking for a Senior SEO Campaign Manager to join our team.
This is a hands-on, foundational role within the business. The Senior SEO Campaign Manager will play a critical role in growing the SEO function at Hewitt Matthews. They will be responsible for shaping our SEO offering, delivering high-quality strategy and execution for clients, and working cross-functionally with the wider agency team (paid media, web development, content, and marketing) to ensure high performance, client proactivity, innovation, and growth.
This is not a delivery-only role. It requires someone who is commercially aware, proactively contributing to account growth, and able to clearly articulate both strategic direction and performance outcomes to clients and internal teams.
While this is not a line management role initially, the position is designed to grow into a management role as the SEO team scales, with a roadmap for team development, service expansion, and increased seniority shared early in the onboarding process.

- Bring fresh thinking, experimentation, and creativity into the team and client strategies
- Identify gaps or opportunities in how SEO is delivered within the agency and drive continuous improvement
Reporting & Commercial Insight
- Develop and deliver monthly and quarterly performance reports for clients with clear insights and next steps
- Set and measure KPIs that connect SEO performance to commercial outcomes (leads, revenue, etc.)
- Assist in forecasting performance, budgeting, and supporting commercial planning for the SEO department
Progression & Growth Path
This role is designed to grow into a leadership position as the department scales. You will be shown a roadmap for:
