• Clear systems, expectations, and accountability

At DNM Digital, we are a performance-driven digital agency focused on SEO, content, and digital growth. We work with ambitious brands across Australia and internationally who care about measurable results, not vanity metrics.

We operate with accountability, clarity, and high standards. As we continue to scale, we are looking for a Senior SEO Specialist to deliver high-quality SEO work across a portfolio of clients, contribute to the agency's standards, and grow into a senior voice within the team.

This is a delivery-first role for someone who takes pride in doing excellent SEO work and wants to be part of a team that holds itself to a high bar.

What You'll Be Doing

Client Delivery

• Manage a portfolio of SEO clients across a range of industries
• Own strategy, execution, and monthly reporting for your accounts
• Identify performance risks early and document clear mitigation plans
• Ensure all work aligns with client commercial objectives, not just SEO deliverables

Technical SEO

• Conduct technical audits covering crawlability, indexation, site architecture, and Core Web Vitals
• Identify and brief developers on technical fixes with clear prioritisation
• Monitor site health and flag issues proactively

On-Site and Content

• Develop and execute on-page optimisation strategies
• Brief content writers and review output against SEO and quality standards
• Conduct keyword research and map content to commercial intent

Reporting and Communication

• Deliver monthly reports on time across all accounts
• Communicate performance clearly to clients and internally to the SEO Director
• Flag risks, opportunities, and blockers proactively

Team Contribution

• Support junior team members with feedback and knowledge sharing
• Contribute to improving agency processes and delivery standards
• Participate in WIPs and one-on-ones to stay aligned on priorities

What We're Looking For

• 2-3+ years of SEO experience within an agency environment
• A track record of managing and growing client accounts independently
• Comfortable managing a portfolio of 15 - 20 clients
• Strong technical SEO knowledge; crawlability, indexation, site architecture, and Core Web Vitals
• Proficient with core SEO tools including Google Search Console, GA4, SEMrush or Ahrefs
• Confident with keyword research, content briefing, and on-page strategy
• Highly organised, deadline-driven, and able to manage multiple accounts simultaneously
• Clear communicator, written and verbal, with clients and internal stakeholders
• Up to date with modern search trends including AI-driven search behaviour and entity-based SEO
• Someone who takes ownership and does not need to be managed

Key Targets

Success in this role is measured against the following:

• 80%+ of your SEO clients hitting agreed KPI targets
• Monthly reporting delivered on time across 100% of your accounts
• Client churn rate within your portfolio below 2.5%
• Performance risks identified and documented before they become client issues

Why This Role Is Different

This is a hands-on senior role within a rapidly growing independent agency where SEO is at the core of the business.

You will have genuine ownership over real client outcomes, not just tasks handed down from above. You will work closely with the SEO Director and have clear visibility into how strategy, delivery, and commercial performance connect.

We are looking for someone who is

• Technically sharp and comfortable going deep on audits and implementation
• Confident managing clients and communicating performance clearly
• Thinking beyond outdated SEO playbooks and focused on modern search, entities, and AI-driven behaviour
• Ready to grow into a leadership role as the agency scales
