Head of SEO, FinTech, London – c. £110K

We’re a global FTSE250 FinTech helping hundreds of thousands of clients trade and invest through award-winning digital platforms. We’re ambitious, fast‑moving, and focused on scaling our customer base across multiple international markets.

The role

We’re hiring a Head of SEO to lead our UK organic search strategy – driving scalable customer acquisition through SEO and ASO. Reporting to the Director of Performance & Lifecycle Marketing, this is a key leadership role within the UK marketing team. You’ll position organic search as a core growth engine, connecting technical excellence and content strategy to measurable commercial outcomes: traffic, applications, and first trades. As we pivot from derivatives toward investing and crypto, you’ll redefine our organic search approach for high‑intent growth segments – while adapting to the rise of AI‑driven search platforms (Google SGE, ChatGPT, Perplexity).

What you’ll do

  • Lead the UK SEO & ASO strategy, focusing on high‑impact acquisition keywords
  • Realign SEO towards investing and crypto growth opportunities
  • Optimise for emerging AI search behaviours and answer engines
  • Partner with central technical teams to maintain SEO health
  • Set and deliver against KPIs including share of search, organic traffic, and conversion
  • Manage one direct report and SEO agencies for performance delivery
  • Collaborate across Paid Media, CRM, and Brand to integrate SEO into wider marketing plans

What you’ll bring

  • 5+ years’ SEO experience, including 2+ years in a leadership or growth‑focused role
  • Proven success driving organic growth in competitive sectors (FinTech, trading, or eCommerce)
  • Strong technical and content SEO expertise; ASO experience a plus
  • Commercial, data‑driven mindset with a hands‑on approach
  • Confident communicator able to translate SEO impact into business results

Why join us?

Be part of a high‑growth, globally recognised FinTech where organic search has huge untapped potential. You’ll have autonomy, visibility, and the opportunity to shape SEO as a key driver of sustainable growth.

We celebrate diversity and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Rates depend on experience and client requirements.
