Role: Senior Technical SEO Specialist (Ecommerce, Shopify, Remote)

Full-Time – £35,000-£50,000 (UK Based)

👋 Who We Are

We are Searchflex, a high-performance ecommerce search agency. We don’t do generic SEO. We build full ecom search systems (CheckoutOS) for D2C brands doing £50k–£10M/month, focused on profit, clarity, and control. We’re expanding – and we’re hiring someone smart, reliable, and technical to take ownership of Technical SEO execution.

🎯 Role Overview

You’ll work closely with the director to help implement our SEO audits and performance roadmap across multiple WordPress and Shopify-based ecommerce brands. You’ll follow the strategy we co-develop – and own the execution across tech SEO, structured data, site speed, and CRO fixes. This is not a content writing or basic blog SEO job.
