STRATEGY & PROGRAMME OVERSIGHT · Own the traffic recovery programme plan end-to-end, ensuring all three phases deliver on time and on target. · Translate the programme strategy into weekly sprint plans with clear task ownership across the team. · Identify risks, dependencies, and blockers early and manage them before they impact delivery. · Maintain alignment between MinoriLabs Capability Manager and the client on scope, progress, and strategic direction. · Coordinate with the client's paid media partner on programme deliverables, ensuring no gaps between organic and paid workstreams. CLIENT RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT · Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for the client stakeholder team. · Prepare and present structured weekly performance reports covering organic traffic, GSC metrics, MQLs, paid performance, and content output. · Manage the content and campaign approval process, ensuring turnaround within the 3-business-day SLA. · Proactively communicate progress, risks, and wins — no surprises in either direction. · Build trust with the client to support a transition into a Key Account Manager role post-engagement. SEO / AIO / AEO / GEO OVERSIGHT & QA · Review and approve all SEO deliverables: technical fixes, content rebuilds, schema implementations, and keyword strategies. · QA all content against E-E-A-T guidelines and Google's Helpful Content principles before client submission. · Validate AIO and AEO implementations (schema, FAQ structures, AI Overview readiness) for correctness and completeness. · Monitor GEO progress, ensuring topical authority content clusters and LLM citation strategy stay on track. · Interpret GSC, GA4, and rank-tracking data to identify what's working and where to accelerate.

REPORTING & ANALYTICS · Build and maintain the weekly KPI dashboard covering all primary and supporting programme metrics. · Translate data into clear, actionable insights for both the client and the internal delivery team. · Produce phase-end review reports at the conclusion of each programme phase. · Escalate anomalies (ranking drops, algorithm impacts, paid underperformance) immediately with a recommended response. · Ensure the engagement closes with documented SOPs, campaign settings, and a handover pack.
