About the job

The Opportunity

Looking for a senior role where your expertise is valued? At Nelson O’Neill, we are a fully remote, specialist digital agency with an “enthusiastically nerdy” approach to digital marketing.

We operate on a permanent 9-day fortnight. This isn’t a compressed work week, you simply get every second Friday off to recharge (26 extra days off a year).

The Role: Driving Commercial Growth

We are looking for a high-level strategist to lead enterprise-scale SEO programs. With eCommerce representing at least 50% of your client portfolio, you will be responsible for moving the needle on revenue – not just rankings!

Key Responsibilities

  • eCommerce Architecture: Own the end-to-end strategy for high-SKU environments, focusing on faceted navigation, crawl management, and Core Web Vitals.
  • Complex Puzzle Solving: Solve complex indexing, duplication, and content decay issues across platforms like WooCommerce, Shopify and Magento.
  • Strategic Content Frameworks: Use your strong content briefing skills to build, create, and critique high-impact content. Build sophisticated and scalable content frameworks involving schema, entity mapping, competitor insights, and internal linking.
  • The AI Frontier: Help evolve our approach to AI-led search and LLM search strategies to maintain visibility across emerging generative search experiences.
  • Consultative Client Relationships: Act as the primary point of contact for your portfolio. You will lead monthly strategy sessions, translate complex technical data into clear business insights, and act as a trusted advisor to Marketing Managers and Business Owners.
  • Performance Reporting: Build and present reports (using GA4 and Looker Studio) that clearly link organic growth to revenue outcomes.

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ Years of SEO Mastery: You have previously worked in an agency. You thrive in a fast-paced, multi-client environment and know how to manage expectations like a pro.
  • Proven eCommerce Expertise: Essential. You have a track record of managing large-scale retail SEO with measurable commercial impact.
  • Strategic Mindset: The ability to diagnose complex technical or content issues, translating them into understandable, actionable business terms for clients.
  • Technical Authority: Deep proficiency in key SEO tools including Screaming Frog, GSC, GA4, SEMRush etc.
  • The “Strategic Doer”: You are a high-level architect who isn’t afraid to get your hands dirty. You have the vision to build a 12-month roadmap and the technical “full-stack” capability to jump into the CMS and execute the fixes yourself if needed.
  • AU Residency: This is a 100% remote role for residents currently based in Australia.

The Rewards

  • Senior Salary Package: Generous 6 figure salary + super + perks that recognises your experience and level of technical expertise.
  • 9-Day Fortnight: A permanent benefit designed for a sustainable work-life balance. We don’t believe in “burnout culture”, we believe in high-impact work and plenty of time to recharge.
  • Autonomy & Trust: We empower our specialists to test new ideas and own their strategies.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume along with a brief cover letter detailing a significant eCommerce SEO win and your approach to building technical content frameworks.
