SEO and Website Development Manager

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a passionate and creative SEO and Website Development Manager to join our dynamic agency in the heart of Harrogate. In this diverse and stimulating role, you'll be managing designers, developers, SEO executives and content writers to help create new websites and update current websites in the company's portfolio.

About Us

Take That Ltd specialises in website and app creation, specifically operating on its own in-house projects rather than those of external clients. We have established ourselves as the world leader in our niche and have been actively working in our industry for over 30 years. Our portfolio consists of over 600 websites and apps that attract over nine million monthly active users each month. After a period of consolidation, we are looking to grow our team, and as such are looking for an SEO and Website development manager to join our team and help continue to grow our business.

About the Role

Joining our team will put you in a position to help manage the current developers, designers, SEO executives and content writers at the company and direct them through projects dictated by the company director. Your responsibilities will be to manage multiple departments working together to update websites, create new websites, and stay ahead of industry changes and SEO best practices. You will also be tasked with managing certain requirements the company has outside of building websites, such as internal checks and updates that are done on a regular basis and data entry that is key to the company's long-term success.

Prior experience in managing different departments isn't required but will be beneficial to your application. In place of this, multiple years' experience working specifically in SEO or website development would be required. This is not an entry level job and successful candidates must show a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to make websites successful.
