About the role
Our client runs a leading online marketplace. We're looking for a senior technical SEO contractor to lead the SEO side of a large site taxonomy restructure. It starts with a high-priority pilot, and its results will shape how the approach is rolled out across the full marketplace. You'll be the main technical SEO voice on the project, working directly with product and engineering. You'll enforce standards, oversee the highest-risk parts of the work and help the team read the results.
What you'll do
- Partner with our client's product and engineering team to quickly review and refine technical SEO guidelines and best practices for the taxonomy project. You'll teach as you go, so the team understands the "why" and avoids issues before they happen.
- Own the redirect strategy: advise on redirect mapping, review implementation and QA it so link equity is not diluted and rankings carry over cleanly.
- Assist with defining and oversee the measurement framework, including baseline benchmarks and SEO filters in Google Search Console and Semrush, so reporting is accurate and on time.
- Analyze performance after launch and make clear recommendations on whether and how to adjust the strategy before it expands to other inventory categories.
- Find and prioritize risks, especially on search results pages (SRPs) where inventory is being thinned out, and push fixes through quickly.
- Lead the internal linking audit of new and restructured pages, and guide the junior technical SEO manager's work.
- Mentor and review the work of the junior technical SEO manager.
What we're looking for
- 6+ years in technical SEO, ideally including large-scale site migrations, taxonomy or URL restructures, or e-commerce/marketplace sites
- Deep expertise in redirect strategy, crawlability, indexation, canonicalization and faceted navigation
- Strong command of Google Search Console, Semrush, and crawl tools such as Screaming Frog
- Experience turning SEO requirements into clear guidance for developers and non-SEO stakeholders
- An analytical approach to setting baselines, isolating impact and turning data into decisions
- Comfort working fast in a high-visibility project with shifting priorities
Nice to have: Experience with classifieds or other marketplace sites; working knowledge of SQL, Looker Studio or similar reporting tools. Experience with the Nuxt framework is also a plus.
