Search Engine Marketing Specialist Jobs in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia at We Are Welcome
Title: Search Engine Marketing Specialist
Company: We Are Welcome
Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
SEO Marketing Specialist
For over two decades, Welcome has been building something rare: a genuine full-service agency where strategy, creative, marketing and technology work together under one roof.
We're not a sprawling global network. We're the agency that leading brands and savvy marketers call when they need partners who actually understand how to deliver. Award winning, cutting edge, full of fresh ideas and working across most verticals and industries – we love a challenge and working as a team to achieve our clients goals.
Now we're looking for an SEO Marketing Specialist to join our growing team, driving organic performance for globally recognised brands — across B2c & B2B, from innovative tech startups to fashion powerhouses.
Maybe You're Looking For Something Too ::
A place where SEO isn't an afterthought bolted on at the end of a project. Where you're in the room when strategy is set, not handed a brief and told to "optimise it." Where your recommendations actually get implemented because you work directly with the developers, content creators and strategists who can make it happen.
If you've been searching for an agency that genuinely values SEO & a marketers work — keep reading.
The Role ::
- Own SEO strategy and execution across a diverse client portfolio — technical audits, keyword research, content strategy, on-page optimisation, and performance reporting
- Conduct comprehensive technical SEO audits and work directly with our dev team to resolve issues — site architecture, crawl-ability, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and indexation
- Develop keyword strategies rooted in search intent, map content opportunities, and collaborate with content and creative teams to produce work that ranks and resonates
- Build and execute sustainable, ethical link acquisition strategies that actually move the needle
- Deliver reporting that tells a story — connecting organic performance to business outcomes for marketing managers and CMOs alike
- Stay ahead of a shifting landscape — algorithm updates, AI Overviews, zero-click search, and the evolving role of content in an AI-augmented world
Who We're Looking For ::
- 3+ years of hands-on SEO experience, ideally agency-side managing multiple clients across industries
- Strong technical foundations — fluent in Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog, and at least one enterprise platform (SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Sistrix)
- Strategic content thinker — you understand search intent, topic clusters, E-E-A-T, and how content architecture builds authority over time
- Collaborative mindset — you know how organic works alongside paid, social, and brand activity, and you work easily across disciplines
- Analytical and commercial — you translate data into clear recommendations and reports that connect to leads, revenue, and growth
- Organised, proactive, and genuinely good to work with — you take ownership and communicate with clarity
- Curious and adaptable — excited by where SEO is heading, not anxious about it
Bonus points for experience with local SEO, international SEO, large-scale eCommerce, or AI tools for research and optimisation.
Why Welcome ::
We work with some of the biggest names in fashion, beauty, wellness, property, automotive, professional services, finance, renewables and tech. Our clients stay because we understand their business as well as their brief.
We're genuinely full-service: strategy, brand, creative, design, social, content, SEO, SEM, paid media, development, apps, tech support, hosting and AI solutions — all under one roof, all working together. No subcontracting to offshore teams or freelancers you'll never meet.
That means when you recommend a technical fix, our developers can implement it. When you identify a content gap, our writers can fill it. When you spot an opportunity that spans paid and organic, you can walk across the studio and make it happen.
We're senior enough to know what good looks like, humble enough to keep learning, and small enough that your work actually matters. No bureaucracy. No politics. Just smart people solving interesting problems — and having a good time doing it.
Our near city CBD studio is a place people actually want to be. The coffee's good, the people are better, and there's a reason our team is one big happy family.
What's In It For You ::
- Creative studios in East Sydney (Darlinghurst)
- Competitive salary package
- Professional development budget
- Access to industry-leading SEO tools and AI
- Campaigns for globally recognised brands
- A team that actually implements your recommendations
- Genuine work-life balance
- Regular team events
- Opportunity to lead and mentor as you grow
