Search Engine Marketing Lead

Are you the “go-to” person in your current agency, but there’s nowhere left for you to climb?

We are looking for a Search Engine Marketing Lead who is ready to take ownership.
You are likely a Senior Specialist or “2nd in Command” currently who loves the hustle of agency life but is ready to step out of the shadow and build something of your own.

We need someone who is still comfortable “on the tools” (executing high-level campaigns) but is equally keen to mentor juniors, refine our processes, and eventually grow a team of specialists around them.

This position is the perfect bridge between execution and leadership. You will work with our SME clients to drive exceptional results across Google Ads, SEO, and AI Search while simultaneously acting as a strategic lead for the department.

This isn’t a role where you just sit back and delegate. You will lead from the front, setting the standard for efficiency and organisation, while helping us shape the future of the agency’s digital offering.

You’ll be joining an experienced and welcoming web design and conversion optimisation team who work together to share knowledge, learn from each other, and deliver exceptional results.

If you’re an agency pro who is ready to lead – let’s chat!

• Open to Brisbane-based candidates only
• Hybrid and flexible work hours available to work from home
• Grow into the Head of Department in 1-2 years as you build out the team
• Unlimited coffee at our Spring Hill office

Your typical week will be a mix of high-level strategy and hands‑on execution:

• Overseeing the holistic digital strategy for our search engine marketing accounts (SEO & Google Ads)
• Managing Google Ads and SEO campaigns and strategy for high-tier clients
• Providing guidance and technical support to junior team members and reviewing their work
• Identifying opportunities to scale client accounts and improve agency retention
• Refining our onboarding and reporting workflows to make the team more efficient
• Diving into data to provide commercial insights (ROI/ROAS) rather than just vanilla metrics
• Keeping the agency up-to-date with the latest algorithm changes and digital trends

• 2-3+ years of specific Agency experience is essential. You understand the pace, the tracking, and how to manage client expectations.
• You might be a Senior Specialist right now, looking for that first official leadership title.
• You are a true all-rounder. You can comfortably jump from Semrush keyword research to setting up conversion tracking in GTM or optimising a Google Ads campaign.
• You are a “people person” who can build trust with business owners and explain technical concepts in plain English.
• You are dependable and ready to share your knowledge to lift the standard of our whole team.
