SEO Manager II
ClickUp
We’re looking for a fearless SEO practitioner to help shape the future of organic growth at ClickUp. This isn’t your traditional SEO role.

You’ll play a critical role in balancing proven strategies with new opportunities emerging from AI-powered discovery.
In this role, you'll contribute to a culture of experimentation and learning by testing bold ideas, leveraging AI-powered workflows, and helping us move faster across initiatives like localization, programmatic SEO, and bespoke content.

You’ll have end-to-end ownership over key initiatives, from concept to execution to analysis.
If you’re energized by change and endlessly curious about what’s next, this is your chance to help define what SEO looks like in a world of AI-first search.
Key Responsibilities- Partner with us to evolve and balance our SEO strategy across both traditional search and emerging AI surfaces (e.g., AI Mode, AIO, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and beyond).
- Contribute to a culture of experimentation by launching bold ideas, analyzing results quickly, learning from failure, and adapting strategies at the pace today’s search landscape demands.
- Collaborate closely with content and engineering teams to bring SEO strategies to life through scalable, high-quality execution.
- Help design and operationalize AI workflows that accelerate content production, localization, and on-page optimization at scale.
- Monitor ClickUp’s visibility across both traditional and AI-generated results, and build systems to identify performance gaps and guide strategic action.
- Stay deeply informed on shifts in search by tracking platform updates, expert insights, and relevant case studies in order to keep ClickUp’s strategy ahead of the curve.
- Balance tactical execution with long-term vision by challenging best practices and pushing beyond the status quo to unlock faster, smarter, and more effective growth.
What you’ll need
- 5+ years in a dedicated SEO role with ownership over both strategy and execution, ideally within B2B or B2C SaaS.
- A proven track record of launching and scaling SEO experiments, taking bold, data-informed risks, and learning quickly.
- Strong project management skills and the ability to prioritize for impact, manage multiple initiatives, and operate autonomously.
