SEO & CRO Manager

About the Company

space150 is a future-forward digital agency dedicated to putting brands on the forefront of culture and technology. They help clients keep up, get ahead, and stand out by destroying convention to create demand across the regulated med-tech, DTC ecommerce, and national consumer brand landscapes.

About the Role

space150 is seeking an experienced SEO & CRO Manager to lead the evolution of organic search visibility and conversion optimization for their growing client portfolio. This senior role is perfect for someone who thinks beyond the SERP—connecting organic search strategy, web analytics, and conversion rate optimization into a holistic growth practice. You'll be based in Minneapolis, MN, joining a senior, accountable team where you'll collaborate directly with clients, engineers, and cross-functional partners to drive measurable business outcomes through organic search and testing discipline.

Responsibilities

• Own organic search strategy end to end for a portfolio of clients, including technical audits, information architecture, on-page optimization, internal linking, content roadmaps, and measurement
• Run technical SEO diagnostics and translate them into prioritized, developer-ready backlogs; partner with engineering and web teams to implement fixes
• Develop keyword and topic strategy grounded in commercial intent and search demand; build and advise on AI search visibility (AI Overviews, LLM citation, AEO/GEO)
• Own organic performance measurement using GA4, Google Search Console, Looker/Looker Studio, and server-side/GTM tagging to connect visibility to business outcomes (leads, revenue, LTV)
• Audit conversion paths, identify friction between organic landing and conversion, and design A/B and multivariate experiments in partnership with UX, creative, and development teams
• Use frontier AI platforms (Claude, Claude Code, Gemini, OpenAI stack) as core daily infrastructure to automate repetitive work—crawl parsing, log analysis, SERP monitoring, competitive tracking, QA sweeps, and tooling
• Verify relentlessly, spot-check data, and raise the floor for the team by sharing prompts, workflows, and tools you build

Requirements

• Proven expertise in organic search strategy, technical SEO, and CRO with demonstrated ability to follow sessions from impression through conversion
• Advanced proficiency with GA4, Google Search Console, and analytics platforms; strong server-side tagging and GTM knowledge
• Deep experience designing and running A/B, multivariate, and UX experiments with clear hypotheses and documented learnings
• Fluency with frontier AI platforms (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI stack) as core daily tools—not just familiarity, but active use for crawling, classification, automation, and analysis at scale
• Comfort working in a terminal, with APIs, or agentic coding tools; ability to build your own tooling rather than defaulting to manual work
• Strong understanding of AI's impact on search (AI Overviews, LLM citations) and ability to advise clients on what's changing, measurable, and noise
• Ability to present to clients and help the new-business team sell search as a capability

Nice to Have

• Experience with regulated industries (med-tech) or DTC ecommerce
• Track record of building internal tools or automating workflows using AI-assisted code generation
• Background in cross-channel attribution and paid + organic media planning
