Search Engine Optimization Executive

Be Found Digital is a specialist strategy-first agency that helps growth focused professional service businesses grow through tailored strategies. We support B2B and B2C with a focus on building measurable, scalable lead and client acquisition systems.

Role Summary

We're seeking a motivated and detail-oriented SEO Executive with 1–2 years of experience to join our growing team. This role is ideal for someone who is eager to learn, refine their SEO craft, and work on complex and high-impact SEO campaigns.

You will work directly with our Head of SEO, gaining advanced hands-on training while supporting the execution of campaigns for larger, lead-generation-focused clients. You'll play a critical role in implementing technical and content strategies, assisting with audits and performance tracking, and learning how to apply deeper strategic SEO thinking.

Note from our Head of SEO- Sam Singleton

"This role is ideal for someone who's passionate about SEO and ready to move beyond task-based execution into strategic thinking and client impact. At our agency, you won't be juggling 50+ accounts — instead, you'll work with a focused group of long-standing clients (3–7+ years), gaining the time and space to understand their businesses, contribute to meaningful strategy, and accelerate your growth. You'll work closely with me, gaining exposure to planning, forecasting, KPI setting, and client communications — all critical skills for stepping confidently into a future team lead or SEO manager role."

What You'll Gain

Working with us, you won't be juggling 50+ accounts or drowning in busywork. Instead, you'll work strategically on a small pod of long-term clients who genuinely value what we do—giving you the space to think, plan, and make a real impact.

But here's where it gets exciting for you:

You'll be joining our SEO department that is expanding due to client demand which means stepping into a role with growth opportunity.

• Direct mentorship: Work day-to-day with our Head of SEO (10+ years' experience) and gain first-hand exposure to high-performance strategies.
• Accelerated learning: Build your expertise rapidly by not just executing tasks but understanding the "why" behind every decision.
• Client-facing experience: With no account managers, you'll strengthen your communication skills and develop a strategic mindset through direct client interaction.
• Trusted partnerships: Our clients defer to us as experts who deeply understand their businesses, giving you the chance to shape strategies that drive real impact.
• Clear growth pathway: As the department scales, you'll have the opportunity to step into team lead and management roles.

If you want to fast-track your career, gain hands-on mentorship, and grow into leadership, BeFound is the place to do it.
