We're now scaling our footprint across India, and SEO is a core growth lever—especially technical and programmatic SEO to ensure millions of city-specific content pieces, events, and experiences are discoverable on search.

Role Overview

We're hiring a Growth Marketing Manager who lives and breathes structured data, schema markup, sitemaps, crawl budgets, indexing logic, and programmatic SEO frameworks. Your primary mission: Turn Cityscope into the best-indexed, most discoverable local content platform in India.

  • Create and manage dynamic XML sitemaps, keeping them optimized for Google Search Console.
  • Set up and monitor schema markup (JSON-LD) for events, articles, FAQs, businesses, creators, and experiences.
  • Work with devs to improve core web vitals, page speed, mobile performance, and structured metadata.
  • Audit crawl ability and indexing across all regions and properties using Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, or similar tools.
  • Design and manage canonical tagging, pagination logic, robots.txt, hreflang (if needed), and redirection plans.

Programmatic SEO

  • Develop a keyword clustering and taxonomy model that scales for hundreds of cities and verticals (e.g., "Best Cafes in Jaipur", "Weekend Events in Udaipur", "Top Yoga Classes in Jodhpur").
  • Set up automated content pages powered by the Cityscope CMS and dynamic frontend.
  • Collaborate with backend team to structure search-friendly data models for experiences, listings, and user-generated content.
  • Run split tests and experiments on different templates, meta tags, titles, and page structures to improve CTR and rankings.

Monitoring, Tools & Reporting

  • Track SEO health and performance using GSC, GA4, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, and Looker Studio.
  • Own dashboards for organic traffic, indexed pages, ranking positions, and SERP features.
  • Monitor for crawl errors, soft 404s, duplicate content, thin content, and broken links.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with content and city teams to identify opportunities for city-specific campaigns and seasonal topic targeting.
  • Collaborate with design, dev, and product teams to build SEO-friendly templates and modules.
  • Provide SEO onboarding and training for internal content creators and editors.

What You'll NeedMust-Haves

  • 3–6 years of experience in technical SEO, preferably in a content-heavy or platform environment.
  • Deep understanding of Google's algorithm, crawling/indexing behavior, and search console.
  • Hands-on experience with sitemaps, schema, log file analysis, robots.txt, and server-level optimization.
  • Proven experience in programmatic SEO—from concept to implementation.
  • Ability to collaborate with engineers, data teams, and product managers.
  • Experience with large-scale SEO architecture and content databases.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with Headless CMS, React/Next.js frameworks, or JAMstack sites.
  • Knowledge of local SEO, map pack optimization, and event discovery indexing.
  • Familiarity with AI/LLM-powered content structuring, embeddings, and search optimization.
  • Experience working with Indian city or regional content is a huge plus.

Requirements:

  • Proven SEO experience with measurable results
  • Excellent English writing skills
  • Proficiency in tools: Semrush, Ahrefs, ScreamingFrog, etc.
  • Marketing/sales/technology background preferred

What You Can Expect

  • Ownership of Cityscope's entire SEO stack—from crawl to conversions.
  • A front-row seat in building one of India's most important city-centric media and commerce platforms.
  • A fast-moving, highly creative, and collaborative team environment.
  • The chance to scale impact nationally across multiple Indian cities and eventually globally.
