SEO Content Manager / Content Lead

We are hiring a full-time (remote) SEO Content Lead to take ownership of content quality across our SEO agency based in Toronto. We are looking for someone who understands SEO, search intent, EEAT, topical authority, content UX, AI-assisted workflows, and how to write content that actually ranks and converts.

Our clients are primarily in Canada and the United States across industries like law, home services, healthcare, luxury, multi-location businesses, SaaS, and E-commerce.

This is a high-accountability role with a lot of autonomy. If you need constant hand-holding, this role is not for you. If you enjoy identifying problems, improving systems, challenging weak ideas, and taking ownership, keep reading.

Role Description

You will:

- Manage writers

- Edit and QA content

- Review pages after publishing

- Ensure content matches search intent

- Identify AI slop

- Review mobile UX/layout issues

- Ensure on-page SEO is correct

- Review internal linking quality

- Work closely with SEO strategy + client success teams

- Communicate directly with clients regarding content

- Push back on weak ideas when needed

- Escalate issues quickly instead of letting projects stall

You are expected to THINK critically. Blindly following instructions without questioning obvious issues is not how we operate. We value people who challenge bad ideas intelligently.

Work hours: 9 am–5 pm EST, Monday to Friday.

Qualifications

You MUST:

- Have real SEO experience

- Understand service pages + location pages

- Know how to spot weak search intent alignment
