Live Vacancy - SEO Executive
Who We Are
Hydra Creative is an international multi-award winning integrated digital agency. We’re a talented team of designers, developers, marketing specialists and multimedia experts. Our services are not one-size-fits-all. We combine our design and digital skills to develop tailored impactful solutions for each client, customised to their unique needs.
Who We’re Looking For
Due to taking on a string of new clients, we’re looking for a permanent, full time SEO Executive to join our friendly team at Hydra Creative – and while experience is great, what really matters to us is your attitude. If you’re eager to learn, open to new challenges, and love the idea of working in a supportive, collaborative environment, you could be just who we’re looking for.
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into SEO, working with a range of clients to help improve their website performance. Don’t worry if you don’t know it all just yet – we value enthusiasm and a willingness to learn above everything else. You’ll be working alongside a genuinely friendly and inclusive team of experts who will support you every step of the way, helping you develop your skills and grow into the role.
Working under the head of digital marketing, you’ll get ownership of your own work, conduct audits and research, and explore ways to boost website rankings and visibility – all with plenty of guidance and constant support from both the SEO project manager and the rest of the team. Whether it’s solving technical challenges, crafting content, or building strong client relationships, you’ll learn and upskill on the job and make a real impact.
We believe in nurturing talent, so if you’re a proactive, positive team player who’s excited about digital marketing, we’d love to meet you. At Hydra Creative, we grow together – and your willingness to grow with us is what really counts.
