  ⭐ About Daydream
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 daydream is building the future of growth and we&rsquo;re starting with SEO. Our platform combines software and services to automate the execution of proven growth playbooks. Today, that means solving one of the hardest problems in marketing: scaling search visibility and traffic through a blend of programmatic SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Tomorrow, it means tackling distribution at scale across every major growth channel.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 We&rsquo;re different from agencies that rely on manual execution and slow handoffs. By pairing automated systems with forward-deployed growth operators, we help companies identify patterns in search, create high-quality content at scale, and continuously optimize for impact. The result is speed, clarity, and outcomes that compound.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 We&rsquo;re backed by First Round Capital, Basis Set Ventures, WndrCo, and growth leaders from Notion, Airtable, Webflow, and Dropbox. Our investors and advisors include respected voices in growth such as Lenny Rachitsky and Eli Schwartz, giving us both the conviction and the expertise to transform how growth gets delivered.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  🔧 About The Role
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 As a Growth Lead, you&rsquo;ll serve as an embedded extension of our clients&rsquo; growth teams, not a passive consultant. You&rsquo;ll own strategy and execution for a portfolio of accounts, driving measurable SEO and GEO results through daydream&rsquo;s workflows and your own expertise.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, operations, and client partnership. You&rsquo;ll balance hands-on execution with clear communication, ensuring both quality deliverables and trusted relationships.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  🧑&zwj;💻 What You'll Do
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Lead strategy and execution for a set of client accounts, driving SEO programs to measurable performance gains.
  </li>
  <li>
   Act as a forward-deployed partner inside client organizations, building trust through clarity and speed.
  </li>
  <li>
   Use daydream&rsquo;s platform and playbooks to generate, refine, and optimize content at scale.
  </li>
  <li>
   Track performance, diagnose issues early, and adapt strategies to keep growth momentum.
  </li>
  <li>
   Uphold quality standards across all deliverables, acting as the first line of defense for content and technical accuracy.
  </li>
  <li>
   Share insights and feedback to improve our systems, tools, and playbooks.
  </li>
  <li>
   Communicate clearly with clients and internal teams, reinforcing confidence in execution.

 <strong>
  ✅ What We're Looking For
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   4 - 7 years of experience in SEO, growth marketing, or a related field, including at least 2 - 3 years in a digital agency environment.
  </li>
  <li>
   Hands-on expertise across technical SEO, content strategy, and programmatic execution.
  </li>
  <li>
   Proven ability to manage multiple accounts with autonomy and accountability.
  </li>
  <li>
   Strong operator who thrives in high-velocity, high-quality delivery environments.
  </li>
  <li>
   Analytical mindset with experience using tools like Google Search Console and analytics dashboards.
  </li>
  <li>
   Excellent communicator who can build trust with clients and collaborate across teams.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <strong>
  ❌ What We're Not Looking For
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 This role won&rsquo;t be a good fit for you if you&hellip;
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Prefer to specialize in just one area of growth and avoid balancing strategy, execution, and client communication.
  </li>
  <li>
   Expect rigid swim lanes and mature processes rather than contributing to systems that are still evolving.
  </li>
  <li>
   Are more comfortable reacting to tasks than proactively driving outcomes and flagging risks.
  </li>
  <li>
   See yourself primarily as a consultant rather than an embedded operator who owns results.
  </li>
  <li>
   Prefer slow, perfectionist cycles of work over high-velocity delivery paired with strong QA standards.
  </li>
  <li>
   Struggle to communicate clearly, directly, and frequently with both clients and internal teammates.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
