SEO and Digital Advertising Expert Position

"We are looking for a ‘Wizard’ SEO/Digital Advertising expert to manage all search engine optimization and digital marketing activities."

You will also manage all digital marketing campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, Yahoo and Bing in order to maximize ROI.

Personally I work long hours, and I need someone who can help me implement my ideas, manage projects and communicate with clients.

Speed is very important to me. If you’re a slow worker or a slow implementer or a slow learner – we simply won’t be a good fit.

You’ll have various tasks. I expect you to have a can do attitude. I can’t stand complainers or those that talk a good game but nothing ever gets done. What I really want is someone who lets their work do the talking for them.

Some typical tasks you might do in a day (note: you don’t need to know how to do all of these just yet, but must be willing to learn)...

  • Work with editorial and marketing teams to drive SEO in content creation and content programming
  • Recommend changes to website architecture, content, linking and other factors to improve SEO positions for target keywords
  • … and much, much more. No two days will ever be the same.

Required Skills:

  • Proven SEO experience

  • Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript development and constraints

You need to be a hardworking, self-starter, who is coachable, dependable, determined, driven, accountable, tech savvy, and naturally obsessed with details.
