Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the SEO Manager position at Cision. With over five years of experience in SEO, specializing in content strategy and on-page optimization for large, content-heavy B2B SaaS websites, I am excited about the opportunity to drive organic growth for Brandwatch, Cision, and Trajaan.

In my previous role, I successfully developed and executed keyword strategies that increased organic traffic by 40% year-over-year. I have extensive experience collaborating with content, product marketing, and design teams to align SEO with broader business goals. I am also proficient in using AI-assisted tools to streamline content workflows and maximize efficiency.

I am particularly drawn to Cision's focus on innovation and collaboration, and I am confident that my analytical skills and self-motivation would allow me to thrive in this role. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team and helping shape the future of search visibility for your brands.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Can you describe your experience with content-first SEO strategies for large websites?
Yes, I have managed SEO for websites with thousands of pages. My approach involves conducting comprehensive keyword research to identify high-opportunity topics, then working with content teams to create and optimize articles, landing pages, and guides. I also use tools like Ahrefs and Google Search Console to monitor performance and continuously refine the strategy.
How do you prioritize SEO tasks when working across multiple brands or markets?
I prioritize based on impact and effort. I start by analyzing each site's current performance, identifying quick wins like fixing technical issues or updating high-traffic pages. I then align with business goals, such as promoting new product features or entering new markets. Regular communication with field marketing teams ensures local priorities are addressed.
Can you give an example of how you have used AI tools in your SEO workflow?
I have used AI tools like ChatGPT to generate content briefs and draft meta descriptions. I also use AI for clustering keywords and suggesting internal linking opportunities. This speeds up the process while maintaining quality. I always review and refine AI-generated outputs to ensure they meet brand guidelines and SEO best practices.
How do you measure the success of your SEO efforts?
I track key metrics such as organic traffic, keyword rankings, conversion rates, and return on investment. I set up dashboards in Google Analytics and Data Studio to provide real-time visibility. I also conduct monthly reviews to assess progress against goals and adjust tactics as needed.
Describe a time when you had to influence non-SEO stakeholders to implement your recommendations.
At my previous job, I identified that several product pages had poor visibility due to thin content. I presented data showing competitor pages ranked higher and proposed creating detailed guides. I worked with product marketing to develop buyer persona-focused content, and with design to improve page UX. The project increased organic traffic to those pages by 60% and was well-received by the team.
 
At Cision, we believe in empowering every individual to make an impact. Here, your voice is heard, your ideas are valued, and your unique perspective fuels our collective success. As part of our global team, you’ll thrive in an environment that champions curiosity, collaboration, and innovation, all while making meaningful contributions to the brands we accelerate. 
 
Join us in shaping the future of communication and building authentic connections that matter. Whether you’re solving complex problems or driving bold innovations, your growth is our success, and together, we’ll create the conversations of tomorrow. 
 
Empower your impact at Cision. Be seen, be understood, be you. 

The role

As an SEO Manager you’ll be the person who makes sure our content gets found. 

Brandwatch, Cision, and Trajaan are B2B SaaS brands with large, content-rich websites across multiple languages and markets. This role connects what our audiences are searching for with what we publish – planning content, optimizing what’s already live, and working with teams across the business to make it happen. It’s a content-first SEO role in a team that uses AI extensively across the workflow. 

You’ll sit within the Growth Marketing team, report to the SEO/GEO Lead, and work closely with Content, Product Marketing, web, and Design. The role covers all three brands and involves coordinating with Field Marketing teams in local markets. 

Duties and responsibilities

The role is defined, but not limited to, the following:

  • Own the keyword and content opportunity landscape across all three brands 
  • Plan content production using AI-assisted tools – from generating and refining content to getting it published
  • Review and optimize existing content: what to refresh, consolidate, or retire
  • Work with Product Marketing to position product and solution pages for search
  • Collaborate with Design and the web team on page structure and UX decisions that affect visibility
  • Coordinate with Field Marketing teams to align local content strategies with the broader plan
  • Manage internal linking across all sites
  • Track performance and turn the data into clear next steps
  • Help shape the team’s SEO and GEO content strategy as AI-driven search evolves
  • Build relationships across the organization to get recommendations moving

Essential Skills and Experience

  • Five or more years in SEO, with a focus on content strategy and on-page optimization
  • Experience with large, content-heavy websites
  • A track record of working with content and marketing teams – shaping editorial plans, creating briefs, and influencing what gets published
  • Strong analytical skills – comfortable with Google Search Console and analytics platforms
  • Clear communication with non-SEO stakeholders: writers, designers, product marketers, and leadership
  • Self-motivation and the ability to manage your own priorities without close oversight
  • Comfort working with AI tools in content workflows
  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken
  • Familiarity with SEO platforms such as Ahrefs

What We Offer 

Upon joining Cision, you will immediately have access to a range of benefits that are fully or partially funded by the company and form part of your overall benefits package. These benefits include:

  • Cision Group Personal Pension Scheme
  • Life Assurance
  • Healthcare cash plan
  • Dental Insurance
  • Private Medical Insurance (For directors and above only)
  • Gym Subsidy
  • Cycle to Work
  • Discounted Dining
  • Virtual GP
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
  • Eye Care Test
  • Cision Global Charitable Giving Program
  • BenefitHub (Retail discounts)
