About Us

Digital Media Partner specialises in a variety of digital marketing services, including SEO, Web Design/development, Content Writing, Social Media Marketing, and more. We tailor our approach to meet the specific goals of each client, ensuring our work delivers leads and sales, not just rankings or aesthetics.

We are looking for a talented SEO Executive to join our team and help drive exceptional results for our clients. As we expand our operations, including a new HQ in Sheffield, you’ll be part of an exciting growth journey with a focus on sustainability and innovation.

The Person

Ambition and a drive to succeed are key qualities for this SEO Executive role. We’re growing fast and need someone who can thrive in a dynamic environment, working autonomously and taking ownership of tasks. The ideal candidate should be comfortable collaborating with freelancers and the wider team, while bringing fresh ideas to improve SEO processes and services.

Staying up to date with industry trends is vital, and the SEO Executive will also help raise DMP’s brand visibility. Whether you’re seeking career advancement or stability, proactivity and motivation are essential.

This role is the precursor to the SEO manager role, which has uncapped earning potential. This position isn’t for the faint-hearted – our projects demand drive, creativity, and resilience. But for those who thrive in a fast-paced environment, the chance to accelerate your career and work on high-impact campaigns is unmatched.

If you’re driven and hungry to progress, but unsure if you have all the experience, don’t let that stop you. Ambition and a willingness to learn are key here if you’re up for the challenge, we’ll invest in your growth.
