Job description
We’re Not Looking for Employees. We’re Looking for Builders.
Level Agency is hiring a results-obsessed, AI-fluent SEO Manager—someone who can turn algorithms, analytics, and AI into measurable organic growth. You’ll own strategies from concept to execution, make data sing, and help clients see SEO as a true business driver.
You’re not here to maintain rankings—you’re here to grow them.
This Isn’t for Everyone.
We’re building something rare: a place where growth, truth, and high performance go hand-in-hand.
You’ll thrive here if:
✅ You get excited about turning SEO challenges into competitive advantages.
✅ You know your way around both AI-powered tools and traditional SEO platforms.
✅ You’re comfortable collaborating across media, creative, and development teams.
And you’ll struggle here if:
❌ You don’t stay current with search algorithm updates and industry trends.
❌ You shy away from client conversations.
❌ You treat SEO like a checklist instead of a dynamic, evolving strategy.
About Level
We’re an AI-powered performance marketing agency—built for precision, designed to scale, and powered by a scientific mindset. At Level, we blend strategy, media, creative, and machine intelligence to deliver outcomes that matter. Every time. At scale.
We’ve been named one of Pittsburgh’s Best Places to Work and an Inc. 500 Fastest-Growing Company. Our clients range from ecommerce to B2B, education, healthcare, and beyond.
Your Role (and Impact)
As SEO Manager, you’ll be the strategist and operator behind our clients’ organic growth. You’ll design and implement tailored SEO strategies—combining on-page, off-page, and technical expertise with AI insights—to deliver better rankings, stronger traffic, and measurable ROI. You’ll balance independent execution with collaborative teamwork, ensuring SEO integrates seamlessly with broader marketing efforts.
You’ll:
- Own the Strategy: Conduct keyword research, technical audits, and competitive analysis to create data-driven SEO roadmaps.
- Leverage AI: Use AI tools to identify trends, optimize content, and accelerate execution.
- Stay Ahead: Monitor industry shifts and algorithm updates to keep strategies competitive.
- Collaborate Deeply: Partner with creative, development, and media teams to implement SEO recommendations.
- Measure Relentlessly: Track, analyze, and report performance with actionable insights.
- Educate & Inspire: Explain SEO strategies and results to clients in a way that builds trust and understanding.
- Innovate: Spot opportunities to expand scope, improve efficiency, and drive better results.
Must-Have Experience
- 2+ years of SEO experience in an agency or digital marketing environment.
- Proven success with on-page, off-page, and technical SEO strategies.
- Proficiency with SEO tools (e.g., Semrush, Google Analytics, Search Console, Screaming Frog).
- Strong communication skills—able to translate SEO insights into client-friendly language.
- Experience collaborating cross-functionally with creative, content, and development teams.
- Familiarity with CMS platforms such as WordPress, Hubspot, or Shopify.
- AI-native mindset—actively using tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or others to improve workflows.
- Strategic thinking with a clear understanding of how SEO supports broader business goals.
Preferred Experience
- 4+ years of combined education or experience in marketing or a related field.
- Agency experience with both B2B and B2C clients.
- Workflow and process optimization expertise.
Real AI & Innovation Expectations
At Level, AI is a core skillset. In this role, you’ll:
- Share examples of how you’ve used AI to improve SEO research, strategy, or execution.
- Document and share prompts, workflows, and insights so the whole team grows together.
- Experiment, test, and refine AI applications—always improving.
- Use AI to enhance creativity, speed, and precision, not as a shortcut for thinking.
