Most agency SEO roles go one of two ways. You're either buried in a factory model churning through audits no one reads, or you're the only SEO person in the building and your family thinks you work for Google. This is neither.
Our client is an award-winning Melbourne digital agency, 15 years deep, built on a principle most agencies put on a wall and never live by: only work with good people, only do good work. They're a Premier Google Partner with APAC Search Awards and Good Design Awards on the shelf, and they would rather talk about the work than the trophies. The team has grown from five to nearly twenty, and their SEO division is the engine behind much of that growth. They aren't generalists. SEO isn't an upsell here, it's a core discipline with its own tiered team: junior, mid, senior and Head of SEO.
This is a client-facing, mid-level SEO role with real ownership. You'd build and execute tailored strategies across a diverse B2B and B2C portfolio, from tourism and eCommerce to health sector training and radiology, covering on-page, off-page, technical and content-led SEO. You'd present to clients directly, translate complex data into language business owners actually understand, and tie everything back to revenue rather than rankings. This agency talks in ROI and conversions. If that's your language too, you'll feel at home.
$70,000 to $100,000 base plus commission. Permanent. Frankston, Melbourne, hybrid with 3 days in the office on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, ideal if you're a Bayside or southeast local.
Plus a clear career path inside a tiered SEO team with mentorship and structure, a creative culture of down-to-earth marketers, designers and developers who care about their craft, and purpose-driven work, they donate revenue and expertise to local community causes through their charity program.
You don't need to tick every box. If you're a mid-level SEO who's tired of being invisible in a big machine, and you want to work somewhere your craft is respected, your growth is mapped out and your clients actually matter, let's talk.
