We’re Imaginaire — the human‑led, tech‑enabled e‑commerce agency.

We help customer‑focused brands grow their online sales through joined‑up SEO, PPC and CRO programmes.

We’re now looking for an experienced SEO Specialist to join us on a 12-month fixed‑term contract to cover maternity leave. You’ll take ownership of several established e‑commerce and service‑based accounts and be trusted to run campaigns with confidence and autonomy.

It’s a hands‑on, strategic role suited to someone who’s already performing at a mid‑senior level and wants to make a visible impact in a growing agency.

What you’ll

• Lead SEO strategy and delivery for e‑commerce clients and local business clients.
• Carry out technical audits and implement improvements.
• Manage keyword research, content optimisation and link acquisition.
• Use our proprietary technology, GA4, Search Console and Ahrefs to surface insights and opportunities.
• Present results and recommendations to clients clearly and confidently.
• Collaborate with PPC, CRO and dev teams to deliver joined‑up growth.

What you’ll bring

• 2-5 years’ SEO experience (ideally agency side).
• Strong technical, on‑page and off‑page SEO knowledge.

Why join Imaginaire

• Competitive salary
• Hybrid working (3 days in our Nottingham HQ)
• Top‑of‑the‑range Apple equipment
• Flexible working
• Birthday off – if your birthday falls on a working day, you can take it off without impacting your holiday entitlement
• Christmas close down – we close between Christmas and New Year
• Early finish Fridays – we finish 1 hour earlier on Fridays
• Work with ambitious e‑commerce brands
• Collaborative, people‑first culture
• Potential for a permanent role as the agency continues to grow
