Seafoam is an established marketing agency that made a deliberate choice to move away from commodity work and toward strategy that actually moves businesses forward. We need a senior strategist to own the visibility engine that feeds it.
This role leads how our clients get found: paid media SEO local search and the emerging world of AI-driven discovery. Youll work across a sharp team present directly to client leadership and build strategies that connect the top of the funnel to real business outcomes not just traffic numbers.
If youve spent years doing this work and youre tired of agencies that optimize for vanity metrics and slow-walk the hard conversations this might be the right seat.
Visibility strategy end to end. Youll build and lead integrated strategies across paid media SEO local search and AI-driven discovery platforms not execute someone elses playbook. You translate client business goals into how the right audiences find them and you own the measurement framework that proves its working.
SEO that goes beyond keywords. Full-cycle SEO: architecture-informed keyword research content strategy technical recommendations metadata schema redirects analytics setup and quarterly audits. You know what levers to pull and why.
Paid media with purpose. You lead paid campaigns with an eye toward funnel design and message alignment and you feed paid insights back into organic strategy. You think in systems not silos.
Local search for multi-location clients. Citation management map pack visibility geo-targeted performance tracking. Youve done this before and dont need to be trained on why it matters.
AI-driven discovery. This is where things get interesting. You stay ahead of how SGE ChatGPT search and algorithm shifts are changing how people find businesses and you translate that into real strategy for clients before theyre asking for it.
Lead quality not just lead volume. You work closely with our team and the client to validate whether the traffic youre generating is actually producing qualified demand. The metric that matters is pipeline not pageviews.
Six or more years in digital marketing strategy with real depth in at least three of the core disciplines this role covers. Youve presented to senior clients and held your ground. You build dashboards people actually use. Youve configured GA4 and GTM from scratch and know where the bodies are buried.
More importantly: you think strategically first and tactically second. You connect visibility work to business outcomes without being asked to. Youre intellectually curious about where search is going not just where its been.
You work well in a small high-trust environment where theres no bureaucracy to hide behind... and you prefer it that way.
Our clients are companies with ambition: leaders who are actively building something protecting something theyve earned or pushing their brand into new territory. They care about getting it right which means the work matters and the conversations are good.
Weve won consistent industry recognition for our work. We have a methodology we believe in. Were growing intentionally not frantically.
St. Louis-based. Hybrid. Compensation commensurate with what a senior person actually costs.
We take care of the people who do good work here. That means top-tier health dental and vision coverage 401k with matching a free gym membership hybrid remote and in-office flexibility unlimited PTO two weeks of paid holiday vacation and $2000 in annual professional development funds you can spend on equipment courses certifications or whatever makes you sharper.
