About the role:
Bixal is seeking a Senior SEO Specialist for a project that supports a large-scale outreach and engagement effort, delivering strategic communications, content and creative services, digital strategy, and audience engagement across public-facing websites, applications, and social media platforms. The work is paired with the IT, cybersecurity, and data operations needed to keep that digital presence secure, reliable, and available around the clock. The program's mission is to ensure the intended audience receives timely, accurate, and accessible information about the programs, services, and policies that affect them — with content and platforms built to scale, adapt to changing needs, and hold up to federal compliance and security standards.
The Senior SEO Specialist owns the program's search engine optimization strategy and execution, driving organic visibility and search performance across all public-facing websites and applications. This is a senior, largely autonomous role responsible for setting SEO benchmarks, running technical and content-based optimization programs, and advising Government stakeholders and content, communications, and social media teams on how to maximize discoverability — from traditional keyword and technical SEO through emerging areas like schema markup and voice search.
This is a full-time position contingent on contract award by our client, with a defined performance period of one year with two one-year option periods. This role offers you a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a project that aligns with Bixal’s mission of delivering innovative, human-centered solutions. While the role has a fixed duration, we are committed to transparency and collaboration, keeping you informed about contract updates and new opportunities. At Bixal, we support your professional journey, ensuring your experience reflects our inclusive, purpose-driven culture and prepares you for future success.

• Lead keyword research focused on user intent and long-tail search behavior; design and implement internal linking, schema markup, and site-speed optimizations to improve organic rankings and click-through rates.

• Contribute SEO-specific test scenarios and success metrics to usability testing efforts, translating findings into optimization recommendations.

• Provide SEO and keyword input to paid and earned media planning to ensure messaging and campaigns are optimized for reach and relevance.

• Ensure social media and community-facing content is optimized for searchability and discoverability across digital engagement channels.

• Provide keyword and search-trend guidance to social media content planning, informing editorial calendars and content themes to maximize organic reach.
