The Role:

This isn't just another SEO role. As our first dedicated Senior SEO Manager post-acquisition, you'll have a unique opportunity to shape the organic growth trajectory of a newly formed leader in the B2B Travel & Expense (T&E) market. Reporting directly to the Director of Growth Marketing, you will be instrumental in navigating a critical site migration (TravelPerk.com & Yokoy.io) and then defining and executing the comprehensive SEO strategy for our combined T&E offerings. You'll leverage your deep technical expertise and strategic vision to build TravelPerk's organic presence from a strong foundation, identify significant growth opportunities in the competitive T&E landscape, and lay the groundwork for a future best-in-class internal SEO function. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment and want to make your mark on a global scale, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do:

• Oversee Migration Success: Play a key role in the successful technical migration and consolidation of TravelPerk.com and Yokoy.io, ensuring SEO best practices are followed to minimize risk and preserve authority. Monitor post-migration performance closely and manage stabilization efforts.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product Marketing, Web Development, Data, and Campaigns teams to ensure SEO best practices are integrated into all relevant initiatives. Effectively manage the relationship with our external SEO agency partner.
• Reporting & Analysis: Establish robust SEO performance reporting and dashboards. Analyze data to generate actionable insights, communicate performance to stakeholders, and inform strategic decisions. Define new performance baselines post-migration.
• Future Team Planning: Develop a long-term roadmap for the SEO function at TravelPerk, including identifying future resource needs (people, tools, budget) to achieve ambitious growth goals.

What You Need To Succeed:

• 7-10+ years of hands-on SEO experience, with a proven track record of driving significant organic growth in complex B2B environments (multi-product SaaS experience is ideal).
• Deep Technical SEO Expertise: Strong understanding of crawlability, indexation, site architecture, schema markup, site speed optimization, and log file analysis.
• Large-Scale Migration Experience: Demonstrable experience successfully managing or playing a lead SEO role in complex website migrations (e.g., domain changes, platform changes, large site consolidations).
• International SEO Experience: Proven experience developing and executing SEO strategies across multiple countries and languages, particularly within North America and Europe.
• Data-Driven & Analytical: Exceptional analytical skills with proficiency in GA4, Google Search Console, and major SEO platforms (e.g., Semrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog). Ability to translate data into actionable insights and strategic recommendations.
• Proactive & Strategic Mindset: Ability to think strategically, develop long-term plans, and proactively identify opportunities and risks. Self-starter mentality.
