We are an established digital marketing agency looking for an inquisitive and ambitious digital marketer, with a good foundation in SEO, to build a career in our team. This is a fully remote role, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t feel part of the team. As we are a small business, we are looking for someone who shares our values, cares about clients, likes to get involved in decisions and agency life, gets to know the people they work with and is looking to build a career in a supportive environment.

The Job

At Common Ground, every member of staff is responsible for their own client list and due to increasing demand, we are looking to expand our team.

The right person will initially support a more senior member of the team while they learn our processes and clients. Over a couple of months, you will then progress to running your own clients with full support, before transitioning to taking full responsibility for all aspects of those client relationships.

Once you’re managing your own clients you will be involved in strategy creation (with the support of a senior team member), implementation of the SEO campaigns, managing freelance resources, supported client communication, and reporting. Most importantly you’ll be producing measurable results for our clients.

We believe that client success is repeatable using the processes we have developed. You will be supported to learn (by doing, documentation and videos) and deploy them, as well as having input into developing them further.

Common Ground offers a supportive environment to learn and develop your skills and this opportunity has fantastic scope for progression.

• Managing a handful of small clients
• Supporting work on larger clients

• Supporting SEO product and process development

• Keep up to date with market and technology-related developments

The Person

• 6-18 months of SEO experience either in an agency or inhouse (with SEO being your primary job function)
• Good general knowledge of SEO
• Experience of managing clients or senior leaders directly
• Confident communicator and a good level of written English
• Good knowledge of Google Analytics, Google Search Console
• Experience of industry tools, such as SEMRush, Ahrefs, and Screaming Frog
• Good level of proficiency with Google Sheets, Docs and Slides

The Company

Common Ground was formed by Dan & Matt, both highly experienced and enthusiastic digital marketers and business people. As a company, we are committed to delivering exceptional results for our clients, constantly evolving and improving our approach, and supporting our team to develop and grow.

We have a mix of clients at different stages of their business growth and across different sectors, although we work best with (and have multiple clients in) B2B SaaS and technology. We recruit clients we are excited to work with, who are willing to work closely with us and listen to our advice, and for who we firmly believe we can make a difference to their business. We do not chase every client opportunity presented to us.

Common Ground won’t suit everyone, we are very passionate about what we deliver, how we do it and constant improvement. However, it is the perfect place for people who want to be supported to develop and progress in their careers.
