Description

About the job The Opportunity Looking for a senior role where your expertise is valued? At Nelson O’Neill, we are a fully remote, specialist digital agency with an "enthusiastically nerdy" approach to digital marketing.

We operate on a

permanent 9-day fortnight. This isn't a compressed work week, you simply get every second Friday off to recharge (26 extra days off a year).

The Role: Driving Commercial Growth We are looking for a high-level strategist to lead enterprise-scale SEO programs. With e Commerce representing at least 50% of your client portfolio, you will be responsible for

moving the needle on revenue - not just rankings!

Key Responsibilities

e Commerce Architecture:

Own the end-to-end strategy for high-SKU environments, focusing on faceted navigation, crawl management, and Core Web Vitals.

Complex Puzzle Solving:

Solve complex indexing, duplication, and content decay issues across platforms like Woo Commerce, Shopify and Magento.

Strategic Content Frameworks:

Use your strong content briefing skills to build, create, and critique high-impact content. Build sophisticated and scalable content frameworks involving schema, entity mapping, competitor insights, and internal linking.

The AI Frontier:

Help evolve our approach to AI-led search and LLM search strategies to maintain visibility across emerging generative search experiences.

Consultative Client Relationships:

Act as the primary point of contact for your portfolio. You will lead monthly strategy sessions, translate complex technical data into clear business insights, and act as a trusted advisor to Marketing Managers and Business Owners.

Performance Reporting:

Build and present reports (using GA4 and Looker Studio) that clearly link organic growth to revenue outcomes.

What You’ll Bring

5+ Years of SEO Mastery:

You have previously worked in an agency. You thrive in a fast-paced, multi-client environment and know how to manage expectations like a pro.

Proven e Commerce Expertise:

Essential. You have a track record of managing large-scale retail SEO with measurable commercial impact.

Strategic Mindset:

The ability to diagnose complex technical or content issues, translating them into understandable, actionable business terms for clients.

Technical Authority:

Deep proficiency in key SEO tools including Screaming Frog, GSC, GA4, SEMRush etc.

The "Strategic Doer":

You are a high-level architect who isn't afraid to get your hands dirty. You have the vision to build a 12‑month roadmap and the technical "full‑stack" capability to jump into the CMS and execute the fixes yourself if needed.

AU Residency:

This is a 100% remote role for residents currently based in Australia.

The Rewards

Senior Salary Package:

Generous 6 figure salary + super + perks that recognises your experience and level of technical expertise.

9-Day Fortnight:

A permanent benefit designed for a sustainable work‑life balance. We don't believe in "burnout culture", we believe in high‑impact work and plenty of time to recharge.

Autonomy & Trust:

We empower our specialists to test new ideas and own their strategies.

How to Apply Please submit your resume along with a brief cover letter detailing a significant e Commerce SEO win and your approach to building technical content frameworks.
