Job description

Journeys that keep customers coming back.

We're looking for an exceptional Head of SEO to join our growing team. Someone who lives and breathes search optimization, knows the ins and outs of e-commerce SEO, is passionate about the AI and LLMs and has the vision for building something extraordinary from the ground up.

You’ll be leading SEO strategy for a variety of ambitious e-commerce clients, helping them dominate search results and drive meaningful revenue growth. If technical audits, content strategies, and turning data into organic growth excite you as much as building and leading a world‑class team, this role’s got your name written all over it.

The Role

As Head of SEO, you’ll be the driving force behind our organic growth and AI initiatives. You’ll balance strategic thinking and hands‑on execution, client relationships and team development.

No two days will be the same. One moment you’ll be conducting a comprehensive technical audit for a Shopify Plus migration, the next you’ll be presenting growth strategies to a client’s board. You’ll work closely with developers, content creators, and account managers across the agency to ensure our SEO work is as impactful as it is innovative.

About You

• You’re a strategic thinker who can see the bigger picture while nailing the details.
• You’re fascinated by the future role of AI in search and eCommerce.
• You love diving deep into analytics and turning insights into actionable strategies.
• You’re a natural leader who builds trust and inspires teams.
• You’re curious, collaborative, and always pushing boundaries.
• You see SEO as part of the complete marketing ecosystem, not a silo.
• You love working with people: clients, teammates, stakeholders.

Skills / Qualities

• Minimum of 7 years of proven SEO experience with measurable e-commerce results.
• Deep expertise in Shopify SEO and platform optimization.
• Advanced knowledge of technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, and site architecture.
• Proficient in Google Analytics, Search Console, and enterprise SEO tools.
• Experience managing multiple client accounts simultaneously.
• Skilled in international SEO, hreflang implementation, and multilingual strategies.
• Hands‑on experience with e-commerce migrations and platform transitions.
• Confident in presenting strategies and results to senior stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of how SEO integrates with paid media, email, and CRO.
• Natural ability to mentor team members and drive best practices.
• Up to speed on AI, algorithm updates, industry trends, and emerging opportunities.

Bonus Points

• Leadership experience building and scaling SEO teams.
• Background working with enterprise e-commerce brands.
• Experience with schema markup and structured data implementation.
• Knowledge of conversion optimisation and customer journey mapping.

Salary Expectations

We appreciate that showing a salary indication is helpful for you to know whether it works with your personal circumstances, and it can be extremely frustrating to keep something so important so vague. But honestly? We’re in a position to consider a wide variety of experiences and salary levels for this role, so we’d rather discuss your experience and skills than try to set a salary bracket.

If you’re the best person for the role, then we’ll offer a salary that works.

What To Expect

We’re one of the top tier Shopify agencies in the UK - and for good reason. Our clients trust us to deliver beautiful, considered designs in Shopify, and to market them in the most cost-effective manner possible.

But we’re more than just our awards and statuses. We’re a team of close-knit individuals, with over 100 collective years at Kubix. For an agency that just celebrated its 10th birthday, we think that’s pretty epic. From our breakfast club to our Champions of the Week where we nominate those who have stood out to us during the 9‑5, we believe that a happy workforce makes for happy work.

If you think you’d like to step into an office that puts its people first, then we’re excited to hear from you. We Never Stop Growing - Together.
