Sr. SEO Manager

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior SEO Manager to lead the evolution of Chime’s organic growth strategy within our Growth team. In this role, you’ll own and scale SEO across both traditional search engines and the rapidly shifting landscape of AI-powered discovery — driving acquisition through high-impact, content-led strategies. You’ll be the strategic driver of SEO initiatives that directly impact Chime’s bottom line. You’ll partner with the content team to build scalable systems and experiment boldly to keep Chime ahead of the curve in how people find and engage with our brand.

The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $130,050 and up to $180,600. Full-time employees are also eligible for a bonus, competitive equity package, and benefits. The actual base salary offered may be higher, depending on your location, skills, qualifications, and experience.

In this role, you can expect to

• Own and evolve our SEO strategy and roadmap, balancing short-term optimizations with long-term organic growth bets.
• Conduct deep SEO audits and translate insights into action, guiding the technical and content teams to improve performance.
• Collaborate product and engineering to ensure SEO best practices are embedded into everything we build.
• Lead execution of high-impact SEO initiatives — from technical improvements to editorial content development and AI-enhanced strategies.
• Develop and maintain SEO governance and scalable playbooks, ensuring consistency across teams, partners, and platforms.
• Monitor organic traffic, keyword trends, and competitor strategies to identify growth opportunities and drive data-informed experimentation.
• Define KPIs and reporting structures to track SEO and AEO impact on acquisition, rankings, and revenue.

To thrive in this role, you have

• A track record of scaling SEO-driven growth at a high-growth, product- or content-led company — B2C or B2B (e.g., DTC, marketplaces, SaaS, media). You’ve built or led strategies that moved the needle on acquisition and engagement.
• Strong technical understanding of SEO, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Core Web Vitals, and site architecture.
• Experience leading content-first SEO strategies, working with editorial teams and agencies to produce high-performing pages at scale.
• Fluency with analytics tools (GA4, Looker, Search Console, etc.) and A/B testing frameworks to turn insights into action and impact.
• Strong communication and leadership skills — you can rally cross-functional teams and drive alignment around SEO priorities.
• Familiarity with AI-powered search and a forward-looking mindset about the evolution of organic discovery​.
