DIGITAL MARKETING STRATEGIST (SEO, PPC, SEM)

Two years ago, the Adster team set a lofty goal: build 10 dream jobs for passionate people in the digital marketing industry.

We’re now looking for that 10th person – come build your dream job with us.

Only apply if you meet the following criteria:

• Have excellent communication & customer service skills: Do you love dealing with and interacting with people? Are you organized and do you have a strong attention to detail? Does the thought of managing 5-15 accounts scare, or excite you?
• Enjoy Analytics & technical work  Do you REALLY like technical work and data? Are you kind of a nerd? Does data & analysis sound like a sweet Friday night in?
• Driven to succeed & display initiative:  Do you want to be part of something unique, and do you like where we’re going and ‘what this could be’?
• Are flexible & adaptable: Are you willing to take on challenging, yet rewarding work with a ‘no excuses’ attitude?
• Enjoy teamwork, but prefer working independently: You’ll love it here if you’re an independent worker that’s self-motivated to stay on task and completes high quality work efficiently, but also enjoys working within a collaborative team.

Our dream digital marketing strategist…

• Loves every aspect of digital marketing from start to finish – for example, crafting the perfect meta title, measuring it, and improving it 90 days later.

• Is an independent worker that self-motivates to complete work efficiently (with high quality) but also enjoys working with a team
• Has a strong sense of humour and ability to have fun – we have a relaxed working atmosphere but we also work pretty dang hard
