Level Agency is hiring : SEO Manager in Chicago

We’re Not Looking for Employees. We’re Looking for Builders.

Level Agency is hiring a results-obsessed, AI-fluent SEO Manager —someone who can turn algorithms, analytics, and AI into measurable organic growth. You’ll own strategies from concept to execution, make data sing, and help clients see SEO as a true business driver.

You’re not here to maintain rankings—you’re here to grow them.

This Isn’t for Everyone.

We’re building something rare : a place where growth, truth, and high performance go hand-in-hand.

You’ll thrive here if :

You get excited about turning SEO challenges into competitive advantages.

You know your way around both AI-powered tools and traditional SEO platforms.

You’re comfortable collaborating across media, creative, and development teams.

And you’ll struggle here if :

You don’t stay current with search algorithm updates and industry trends.

You shy away from client conversations.

You treat SEO like a checklist instead of a dynamic, evolving strategy.
