Job Description

About the Role:
PHD UK is looking for an SEO Account Manager to join a growing team and manage some of the agency’s best‑known and most complex accounts.
This is an exciting and challenging role for someone ready to step up and take ownership of top‑tier SEO and organic accounts, evolving from traditional search optimisation into future‑facing organic growth, including GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), AI‑driven discovery and multi‑format search visibility.
Our team is constantly evolving to stay ahead of search engine innovation, AI disruption, and changing user behaviour. We are looking for someone eager to continuously develop their skills and actively shape the future of organic performance.
With the support of the wider team, you will be responsible for the day‑to‑day running of client accounts, working closely with an SEO Account Director. This will include auditing, reporting, strategy execution and innovation testing, as well as close collaboration with wider teams.
You will be in daily contact with clients, proactively identifying opportunities to grow organic market share, SERP visibility, AI search presence and brand authority, while developing future‑ready organic strategies that reflect changes in how users discover and consume information.

About The Agency

PHD UK is a growth-focused media agency driven by innovation and creativity. It is the reigning Campaign AND Media Week Awards Media Agency of the Year and in March 2026 was named as the most awarded media agency in the World in the annual Warc Media 100 rankings.

Our founders saw a bright future where smart thinking and clever planning could help brands grow faster than their competitors.
Over the subsequent 3 decades, we have continued to build on this defining ethic — with our evolution shaped by a continual investment in thought leadership and a culture of Ingenuity.
