This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2432 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,100, and Performance.io Limited is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors, Strategic lead role overseeing SEO managers could be director-level) or SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, Hands-on SEO execution work described alongside strategy). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

- Bring clarity to clients by presenting recommendations and AI-aligned strategies with confidence and storytelling impact.
- Help shape the evolution of PIO’s SEO + GEO frameworks, tools, and internal processes as our services advance into the generative search era.
- Oversee SEO Managers and coordinate with cross-functional teams across the UK, US, Japan, South Africa and India to deliver technically excellent, insight-driven work.
- Work hands-on when needed, across internal linking audits, site speed optimisations, information architecture, and AI-focused content evaluation.
- Educate the wider business on AI, E-E-A-T advancements, medical SEO, GEO, and emerging search behaviours across global healthcare markets.
Qualifications
- 4+ years in SEO, ideally within a digital agency environment.
- Strong experience leading SEO strategies, with exposure to international and multilingual search, including AI localisation considerations.
- Ability to manage day-to-day communications across multiple accounts, setting direction and maintaining high delivery quality.
- Expert user of GSC, GA4, GDS/Looker Studio, and comfortable interpreting AI-driven analytics signals (e.g., generative snippet visibility, LLM crawl behaviour, entity performance).
- Exceptional stakeholder management and confidence presenting high-impact recommendations.
- Meticulous attention to detail and the ability to quality-check deliverables for accuracy, compliance, and medical SEO standards.
