- ## **The role**
- You’ll look after a portfolio of eCommerce clients, helping plan and deliver their SEO programs and building strong client relationships along the way. You’ll do hands-on technical and on-page SEO and learn to turn your work into clear business results. Senior team members and our global specialists will back you up as you go.
- ## **What you’ll do**
- Deliver SEO programs for your eCommerce clients, including technical fixes, on-page optimisation, schema and internal linking
- Help clients show up in AI-powered search through AEO/GEO work, such as structuring content and schema so AI tools understand and cite their products

- Work across platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce and Maropost

Seo
- Hands-on AEO experience is a bonus, but not essential.
- Full Australian working rights (we can’t sponsor for this role)
- ## **How you’ll learn**
- We don’t believe in learning SEO from slide decks. You’ll get a solid onboarding to start, and after that you’ll learn the way the best SEOs do: by doing the work with experienced people beside you.
- **You’ll work alongside senior SEOs** on live client projects, so you see how they approach audits, strategy and tricky technical problems
- **You can ask anyone, anytime.** Our Melbourne team and global specialists in the UK, Canada and Macedonia share what they know openly.
- **You’ll take on more as you’re ready**, starting simple SEO and client delivery than moving to advanced technical SEO & AEO/GEO, strategy and leading accounts. AI search is a growing focus for our team, so you’ll be learning it as the field takes shape.
- **There’s a clear path to Senior SEO & Technical SEO** as your skills grow
- ## **Pay and perks**
- **$75k–$90k base salary + super**, depending on experience
- **Commission on your client portfolio after 12 months.** This is paid on top of your base, never instead of it.
- **Early finishes every Friday.** You log off at 3:30pm and are paid until 5.
- **Hybrid work:** in our St Kilda Rd office Tue–Thu, and at home Mon and Fri
- **A workload you can sustain.** We cap client hours so there’s room to learn, collaborate and have a life outside work.
- **A global brain trust** of SEO experts, so you’re never stuck on your own
- Volunteering days and wellness initiatives
- ## **Apply**
- Send your CV and a few lines about an SEO win you’re proud of. It can be from any site and doesn’t have to be eCommerce. We’re aiming for a start within the next 4–8 weeks.
- **Don’t tick every box? Apply anyway.** We hire for attitude and curiosity, and you’ll pick up the rest working alongside our team.
