SEO Strategist

“We’re a get-sh*t-done work horse agency. We’re not sitting around wasting a bunch of their (client) money and time on fluff.” - Tim Brown, CEO

What we’re looking for:

• First + foremost: A strong executor who can handle both technical and strategic SEO work

• Be passionate about our Core Values (listed below) and display those in your everyday work:

💥 SCRAPPY : We’re always looking for more efficient ways to do things. We do more with less, and we turn constraints into inspiration. We love to say “Just f-ing Google it”!

👑 EXTREME OWNERSHIP : We take more accountability + responsibility than is necessary or comfortable. We make decisions with an owner’s mindset.

🤩 FUN UNDER PRESSURE : When challenges come up, we not only maintain a positive attitude, but have fun and use it as an opportunity to improve.

What you’ll be doing:

• Implement technical work and SEO strategies across 20+ client accounts
