Search Engine Optimization Specialist

Company Description Heave is a creative agency that turns brands into cultural moments. We work with an extensive network of influencers and digital platforms to take campaigns from concept to viral success. If you've scrolled past something that made you stop, laugh, and share — there's a good chance we were behind it. The Role We're looking for an SEO Specialist to own organic search growth for our in-house software products. You'll take what we've built and make sure the right people find it — through smart keyword strategy, sharp on-page execution, and content that actually ranks. This isn't a traditional agency SEO role. We move fast, we think in internet culture, and we expect our software to grow the same way our campaigns do: organically, efficiently, and at scale. You'll work closely with our product and content teams to build search visibility from the ground up — and keep it compounding month over month. What you'll do - Own the full SEO strategy for Heave's in-house software products — from technical audits to content roadmaps - Conduct keyword research to identify high-intent, high-opportunity search terms aligned with our product and audience - Optimize on-page elements (titles, meta descriptions, headers, internal linking, page structure) across the product - Build and execute a content strategy designed to rank — blog posts, landing pages, comparison pages, and more - Develop and execute link-building strategies to grow domain authority over time - Monitor, analyze, and report on organic performance using tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, and Google Search Console - Identify and fix technical SEO issues (crawlability, site speed, schema markup, Core Web Vitals, etc.) - Stay on top of algorithm updates and adjust strategy accordingly What we're looking for - 3–5 years of hands-on SEO experience, ideally for a SaaS product, consumer app, or tech company - Proven track record of growing organic traffic — bring examples, numbers, and the story behind them - Strong command of SEO tools (Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, or similar) - Solid understanding of both technical SEO and content-driven SEO — you can audit a site and brief a writer - Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where strategy needs to adapt quickly - You think in terms of compounding growth, not vanity metrics - Bonus: experience with programmatic SEO, SaaS growth loops, or scaling organic at an early-stage company
