Senior SEO Manager at idealo internet GmbH

When someone says “frog,” you don’t think of a small green animal—you think of crawls, log files, and scalable insights? Then you’ve found your position 0. 

SEO has been part of idealo’s DNA since 2000. While content remains essential, the future of SEO is increasingly technical, automated, and system-driven. SEO at idealo is a company-wide discipline spanning Product, Engineering, Data, and the C-Suite. 

If you enjoy working with large-scale websites, turning complexity into leverage, and shaping SEO in the context of AI-driven search and platform evolution, this is your place. 

About your new role

• You are responsible for the conception and implementation of scalable SEO projects that improve idealo’s SEO performance, with a strong focus on selected international domains (e.g. AT and UK, with potential expansion to IE and CH). This, working closely with country management teams and Country Manager(s). 

• You contribute to idealo’s global SEO strategy, roadmap, and international expansions, translating long-term goals into scalable, high-impact initiatives. 

• You research and develop strategies to increase idealo’s visibility in AI-generated search results and Large Language Model–driven platforms, including working with AI-assisted and data-driven content concepts and analyzing prompts and outputs at scale. 

• You are interested in LLM-driven search and have experience tracking LLM performance and outputs at scale, with an understanding of how prompts and data inputs influence results. 

• You actively develop scalable SEO solutions through automation, working on templates and recurring processes in close collaboration with tech and product teams. 

• You act as a SEO sparring partner for internal stakeholders, embedding SEO best practices into product and engineering workflows. 

• You work with large datasets to generate insights and define clear prioritization based on impact and effort. 

Skills & Requirements

• SEO is your craft, and you have 4+ years of professional experience, ideally working on large, complex websites. 

• You have excellent German skills (C2 level) and are fluent in English. 

• You have experience working with SEO tools such as Screaming Frog, Sistrix, Audisto, Ahrefs, Google Search Console, or similar tools and know how to turn raw outputs into scalable insights. 

• You bring strong expertise in SEO, including crawling & indexing, internal linking, site architecture, performance, and ranking systems. 

• You enjoy working with scalable SEO approaches over manual optimizations, including automation, templates, and data-driven processes, and are curious about applying AI and LLM-based solutions to SEO challenges. 

• You are self-driven, structured, and ownership-oriented, with the ability to prioritize complex initiatives independently. 

• You are comfortable collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, and Data teams, translating SEO needs into requirements and vice versa. 

• You are highly data-driven, confident working with Excel or Google Sheets at scale; SQL, Python, or other automation skills are a strong plus.
