SEO Technical Manager & Data Analyst

SEO Technical Manager & Data Analyst
Atlanta, GA (hybrid)

About the Role:
Alloy is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Digital Marketing Manager with a strong background in data analysis, technical SEO, and implementation strategy. This pivotal role focuses on building, maintaining, and optimizing analytics infrastructure across a range of client accounts, with a strong emphasis on GA4, Looker Studio, and Google Tag Manager execution.

The ideal candidate will support strategic marketing decisions by ensuring data accuracy, actionable reporting, and SEO performance rooted in best practices, even in highly custom or headless (decoupled) environments. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders and developers to troubleshoot implementation challenges, uphold data privacy standards (including evolving consent modes, GDPR evaluations, and first-party data implications), and provide clarity around evolving trends like AI Overviews and zero-click behavior. While deep technical expertise is paramount, this role is ideal for someone comfortable working in the background, providing high-level data analysis and insights to inform overarching client strategies. This role will also provide strategic and technical support to the Director of SEO & Analytics, helping to drive innovation, efficiencies, and forward-looking solutions across the department.
