SEO Project Manager – Content Optimization & Implementation

Job Type: Ongoing / Long-Term Opportunity
Experience Level: Intermediate to Expert
Industry: Digital Marketing / SEO
Project Management Platform: Asana
About the Role: We are a growing SEO agency seeking an experienced, detail-oriented SEO Project Manager to oversee and coordinate content optimization projects across a diverse portfolio of clients.

This is a hands-on project management role that combines SEO knowledge, content optimization, workflow coordination, and quality assurance.

We already have established SEO strategies, optimization processes, AI prompts, and software tools in place. We are looking for someone who can take these existing resources, execute the optimization workflow, and ensure recommendations are properly implemented across client websites.

You will not be expected to build SEO strategies from scratch. Instead, your primary responsibility will be to manage the execution of our existing processes, maintain quality standards, and keep projects moving efficiently.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, comfortable working independently, understands on-page SEO best practices, and can confidently coordinate with developers and other team members.
Key Responsibilities1. Content Optimization & Recommendations

Utilize our pre-developed AI prompts, SEO tools, and established workflows to generate content optimization recommendations.
Review existing website pages and identify opportunities to improve SEO performance.
Develop and organize recommendations for page titles, meta descriptions, headings, keyword targeting, internal linking, content structure, and other on-page elements.
Ensure recommendations align with established SEO strategies and client-specific requirements.
Review AI-generated recommendations for accuracy, relevance, quality, and consistency.
Prepare clear, actionable optimization instructions for implementation.

Create, organize, assign, and maintain tasks within Asana.
Track project deadlines, deliverables, and completion status.
Coordinate workloads across multiple clients and projects simultaneously.

Proactively identify delays, roadblocks, and opportunities to improve efficiency.

3. Developer Coordination & Implementation

Assign approved content optimization recommendations to the appropriate developers for implementation.
Provide clear instructions to ensure developers understand the requested changes.
Monitor implementation progress and follow up on outstanding tasks.
Review completed work to verify that recommendations were implemented correctly.
When appropriate and within your technical capabilities, directly implement optimizations within WordPress or other CMS platforms.
Escalate technical issues or implementation challenges when necessary.

4. Quality Assurance & Reporting

Conduct quality checks on optimization recommendations before implementation.
Verify that completed website updates match approved recommendations.
Check formatting, metadata, heading structures, internal links, and overall page presentation.
Maintain accurate project records and task statuses in Asana.
Provide regular progress updates to agency leadership.
Help identify recurring workflow challenges and recommend process improvements.

Success in this role means:

Content optimization projects are consistently completed on time.
Asana tasks are organized, accurate, and regularly updated.
Recommendations are high-quality, actionable, and aligned with SEO best practices.
Developers receive clear instructions and have what they need to complete assignments.
Completed optimizations are reviewed for accuracy before being marked complete.
Leadership has visibility into project progress without needing to constantly request updates.
Processes become more efficient as you become familiar with our workflows.
Opportunity for Growth

This is intended to be an ongoing role with the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities as our agency grows.

Candidates who demonstrate strong SEO knowledge, technical capabilities, and the ability to manage projects independently may have opportunities to expand into broader SEO operations, implementation, and team management.
