She is responsible for ensuring that every campaign is executed efficiently, consistently, and to the highest possible standard, aligning SEO strategy, technical execution, and client outcomes across the entire team.
Rye joined Outrank in 2020, right as the pandemic hit, a pivotal moment that shaped both her career and the agency’s growth. During her early days, she worked directly alongside Stephen Robinson (CEO), learning the foundations of high-performance SEO strategy through hands-on mentorship.
Armed with nothing more than a whiteboard and a relentless focus on results, she absorbed everything from technical SEO principles to scalable delivery processes.
Starting as a Junior SEO Consultant, Rye quickly progressed through the ranks, developing an understanding of search strategy, client management, and operational efficiency. Her journey from junior consultant to Head of Delivery reflects both her SEO expertise and her ability to build processes that support consistent, measurable growth.
Today, she oversees the entire delivery suite, ensuring projects run smoothly, deadlines are met, and quality standards remain uncompromising across all campaigns.
As Head of Delivery, Rye plays a central role in driving operational excellence across the agency. Her focus is on structure, accountability, and continuous improvement, ensuring that every client receives a service that is strategic, organised, and performance-led.

By refining workflows and strengthening internal systems, Rye ensures the business operates with clarity and precision, allowing the team to focus on what matters most: delivering real, measurable growth for clients.
Rye holds both a Degree in English Studies and a Master’s in Journalism from Teesside University.
Her academic background provides a strong foundation in communication, analytical thinking, research, and content strategy, all of which are essential to modern SEO. The combination of technical delivery expertise and a deep understanding of language and storytelling enables her to approach campaigns with both structure and creativity.
Outside of work, Rye spends as much time as possible outdoors, particularly in Swaledale and the Yorkshire Dales.
Whether it’s long walks through the countryside or relaxing after a hike with a glass of wine at a local pub, she values switching off and enjoying the landscape.
