Thread Recruitment is working with a global building materials company known for thoughtful design, long-term impact, and genuinely caring about the products they put into the world. They’re bringing their SEO capability in-house, and they’re looking for an SEO Manager to lead and mature the function, initially across Australia and the UK, with expansion into additional regions and brands as the business grows.

If you value clarity, purpose, and work that actually means something, you’ll feel at home here.

The Role You’ll own the SEO across AU and the UK as an initial focus, shaping how customers discover and engage with the brand. You’ll work closely with developers, designers, and leadership to strengthen communication, stabilise foundations and build SEO structures that support long-term growth.
