ROLE

We're looking for one of the best SEOs in the Philippines.

This is a senior subject matter expert role for someone with deep, hard-won expertise across technical, onsite, and modern search — the person our account management team escalates to when an SEO question needs a definitive answer.

As our SEO & GEO Subject Matter Expert, you'll set the methodology and standards that guide our SEO work, conduct the most demanding analyses, and produce the high-stakes client deliverables that require true expertise.

You'll present your analysis directly to clients and join calls as the technical authority, while our account managers own the day-to-day relationships. More junior team members will execute against the strategies and frameworks you define.

We're looking for a genuine expert — someone who has spent years going deep on SEO, can diagnose problems others miss, and has invested in staying ahead as search evolves into AI-driven discovery (GEO / generative engine optimization).

If you're the person other marketers go to with their hardest SEO questions, this role is for you.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Serve as the subject matter expert and escalation point for the account management team across all SEO topics — technical, onsite, offsite, and GEO
• Conduct detailed, high-complexity SEO analyses and audits that require deep expertise
• Own the quality and rigor of SEO client deliverables, setting the methodology and standards the broader team follows
• Present analysis and recommendations directly to clients as the technical authority on calls
• Define SEO strategy and frameworks that more junior team members execute against
• Diagnose complex technical SEO issues and develop clear, prioritized recommendations
• Stay at the forefront of GEO and AI visibility, helping Nexus and our clients adapt to AI-driven search
• Mentor and level up the SEO knowledge of the broader team
• Collaborate with account managers, analysts, and other functions to ensure clients receive expert-level work

WORK SCHEDULE

This role follows a consistent daily rhythm that aligns with US Eastern business hours while giving you time for rest, personal tasks, and balance throughout your day.

Here’s what a typical day looks like:

• Start your day with a 4.5-hour work block: 9:30am–2:00pm (PHT)
• Enjoy your afternoon free: 2:00pm–8:00pm (PHT)
• Finish your workday with another 4.5-hour block: 8:00pm–12:30am (PHT)
• Sleep/rest: 12:30am–9:30am (PHT)

This structure offers a long midday break while supporting strong collaboration with US-based teams during their business hours.

What Your Typical Day May Look Like

Note: All of these times would shift 1 hour later when the time difference switches to 13 hour differences from 12 hour differences

REQUIREMENTS

• Based in the Philippines with consistent availability for a long-term role
• At least 3 years of relevant engineering experience
• Exceptional English verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical people
• Strong academic background with an outstanding General Weighted Average
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field
• Proven experience serving as the engineering partner to non-technical teams or stakeholders
• Experience deploying scalable AI solutions, ideally within a professional services or agency context (a strong plus)
• Hands-on experience with AI development tools such as Claude, Codex, and Gemini, as well as other modern AI tooling
• Real understanding of AI deployment trade-offs — security, scalability, cost, and reliability — not just prompt-and-accept usage
• Strong coding ability alongside fluency with AI-native and agent-building tools
• Experience designing and deploying agents or automated workflows that scale across multiple users
• Highly organized, proactive, and able to drive adoption across non-technical teams
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

MEET THE TEAM

• We currently have 100+ team members who live in the Philippines who have been fantastic team members and we’re excited to add new team members to this new role! Meet our PH Team Members.
• You'll be working with our product, tech, and design teams that are split between the US & Philippines.

As a small growing business, there are a few traits unique to our business that individuals should consider before applying.

• You must love the idea of giving back to the community and nonprofits. There are thousands of jobs. If being involved in the success of nonprofits is something you’re truly passionate about, this could be a great role.
• You must be extremely comfortable with change. As a small growing company, decisions can be made over a weekend and fully implemented by early the next week. Whether that’s new systems, new processes, or new approaches, we look for individuals who can adapt and thrive.
• You must believe that the best contributors should get better rewards. As a company, we believe in paying people based on the value they generate at the business.
• You must be willing to disagree and commit. As a growing business, there will be lots of decisions that get made and changes that occur during your time at the company. Some of which you’ll agree with and some you won’t, we strongly believe that the best team members have the ability to disagree and commit (i.e., going with a decision after it has been made regardless of whether or not you agree).
• You must believe the status quo is unacceptable. As a growing company and as individuals, we believe the status quo is unacceptable. Everyone should be relentless in striving to be the best version of themselves and figure out ways to create more value at the company, enhance our client's results, and grow professionally. The question should always be “How can I be better” rather than “How can expectations be adjusted”.
