Senior Technical SEO Specialist

Overview

Senior Technical SEO Specialist who leads Motive's technical SEO program end to end, covering site health and architecture, international SEO, new page launches, and technical AEO/GEO practices, working with Web Strategy, Web Engineering, Content, Product Marketing and Growth Marketing.

What you'll do

• Lead execution for Motive's technical SEO program, conducting recurring audits covering crawlability, indexation, rendering, redirects, canonical tags, internal link structures, structured data, and page quality.
• Use and help improve AI-assisted workflows that turn crawl and search performance data into a clear, prioritized list of fixes, with human judgment applied before anything ships.
• Make sure priority pages can be accessed, understood, and cited by AI answer engines, covering AI crawler access rules, server-side rendering of key content, structured data, entity signals, and page structure that's easy to extract.
• Identify and resolve content cannibalization and duplication, working with Content and Web to consolidate, redirect, or differentiate pages so each topic has one clear page that ranks.
• Partner with Web Engineering to improve site errors, warnings, and performance issues on key pages and templates, with recommendations tied to impact on traffic and conversion.
• Optimize high-intent product, solution, and industry pages so they rank and convert on non-brand searches.
• Improve information architecture, navigation, and internal linking so our pages connect cleanly and capture long-tail demand.
• Drive technical SEO across our international sites, including hreflang, regional sitemaps, canonical strategy, and localized templates.
• Partner with regional marketing teams and native-language reviewers so localized pages reflect how local buyers actually search.
• Define technical SEO requirements for new templates, page types, and CMS capabilities, and provide SEO QA for launches, migrations, and redesigns.
• Turn findings into clear, engineering-ready requirements that explain what's wrong, why it matters, and how to fix it.
• Act as the primary technical SEO partner for web and marketing stakeholders, and help non-technical partners understand trade-offs and impact.
