[Hiring] SEO Team Lead @HireBoost

Role Description

This is a remote position. This company looks for people who show up as their whole selves, take ownership without being asked twice, and want more responsibility than their current title gives them. If that sounds like you, keep reading.

They provide marketing services exclusively to independent professionals and brands in the automotive detailing, paint protection film, ceramic coating, and window tint industries. They are not a general agency. They understand this market's customers, how they search, and what turns a Google search into a booked job.

They currently manage roughly 100 SEO accounts through outside white label vendors, and they are on pace to launch around 225 new client websites a year. That volume is outgrowing what a packaged vendor relationship can give them in quality control, scope flexibility, and client communication. This role exists to change that.

SEO, and local SEO specifically, is one of the highest value services they sell and deliver for their clients. Right now, most of that work is executed through outside white label vendors. This hire changes that relationship. They need someone who can:

• Run those vendors.
• Evaluate whether their contracts and scopes of work still make sense for the company.
• Start building the internal team and processes that let them bring the highest value work in house over time.

They need more control over quality, scope flexibility, and client communication than a packaged white label model can provide.

They want an internal SEO leader who can:

• Document how the work should be done.
• Train others to do it.
• Build a department that integrates tightly with web development & support.

They are hiring a Director of SEO to own their SEO strategy end to end: local SEO delivery for their small business clients, their growing use of AI in search, and the relationships they currently hold with white label SEO vendors.

This is a contract to hire role. You will start executing and advising from week one. In the first 45 to 60 days, you will:

• Audit their current white label vendor contracts and performance.
• Begin identifying and building out a handful of scopes of work they can bring in house.
• Work that either mirrors or improves on what those vendors deliver today, along with the standard operating procedures that make that work repeatable.

As you prove out results and judgment, this role is built to grow into leadership over an internal SEO team.

You will also serve as the company’s internal SEO consultant on website development builds, working with their web team early in the build process so new sites launch search ready rather than getting audited and fixed after the fact. This is an advisory role on the web side. They are not asking you to manage web development vendors, only SEO vendors.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of hands-on SEO experience with demonstrable results improving local/SMB rankings (map pack position, GBP visibility, organic traffic); bring examples, not just a resume line.
• Working knowledge of Ahrefs and/or Comparable Tool: keyword research, rank tracking, competitor, and gap analysis.
• Competence across the range of what modern SEO now covers: traditional technical and on-page SEO, local map grid tracking, AI-driven SEO, and answer engine optimization.
• Experience editing or directing content written by someone else, with a clear point of view on what actually makes SEO content rank and convert.
• A genuine, current interest in AI-driven search, not just awareness that it exists.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, contract-to-hire structure with limited existing infrastructure.
• Proven ability to translate high-level SEO strategy into measurable business results.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain the impact of SEO to non-technical stakeholders and clients.

Requirements

• Management or team-lead experience, though we're weighing trajectory and hunger to lead over a management title you've already held.
• Background working with local or small-business clients, ideally in a service industry.
• Familiarity with Local Falcon, Google Search Console, or other local-rank and search-performance tools.

Benefits

• $3800 - $4000 USD/monthly
• 100% remote from anywhere in Latam
