Growth Lead (SEO)

About the Company

daydream is building the world's best SEO agent paired with top human experts to own organic search end-to-end. Instead of juggling fragmented tools, specialized teams, and external agencies, daydream replaces that complexity with a single system that plans and executes SEO continuously. Backed by $20M+ in funding from First Round Capital, Basis Set Ventures, and growth leaders from Notion, Airtable, Webflow, and Dropbox, daydream is transforming how companies win in organic search.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role where you drive strategy, ship pages, implement technical fixes, and remain accountable for real business results—not a consulting or account management position.

• Ship pages, implement technical fixes (indexation, architecture, performance), and continuously update priorities based on real-world results
• Monitor performance, diagnose issues early, and adapt strategy to sustain momentum
• Maintain a high bar for quality across content, technical work, and measurement
• Partner closely with Engineering and Product teams to improve workflows and feedback loops
• Communicate clearly with customers, translating technical SEO work into measurable business impact

Requirements

• Proven experience owning SEO strategy and execution end-to-end
• Strong understanding of technical SEO, content strategy, and search fundamentals

• Monthly commuter benefit to support your commute to our Hayes Valley office
• Lunch reimbursement on in-office days and dinner coverage
