You have a passion for crafting digital marketing strategies & solutions within search marketing. You know what it feels like to work with a great client and have what it takes to bring them to Seer. You are polished, curious, have a strong sense of business acumen and while your attention to detail can be intimidating, your clients seriously love you for it. Over your career you’ve had experience with SEO, Paid Media, CRO, Creative, AI and Analytics.

• You will leverage sales methodologies, with a preference for MEDDIC, to qualify leads, identify key decision-makers, uncover pain points, and drive deals to successful closure.

Essential Skills

• You’re no newbie. You know the digital marketing industry in/out and have been working in Digital Marketing / Digital Business Development for the last 3+ years. You have a proven track-record of exceeding goals in a high-growth environment and the agility to own multiple projects at once. 
• You get shit done. Plain and simple. Nothing frustrates you more than bottlenecks and waiting around to execute on something. You’ve been known to roll up your sleeves and knock out a deliverable on your own in order to meet deadlines, while knowing how & when to manage up and flag for support. 
• You read between the lines. You’re able to get to the heart of a client’s business challenges and recommend the right solutions to fully support their needs. 
• You lead with humility & challenge your ego. When it comes to getting everyone aligned and prepped to deliver a great presentation and/or solution, it’s you. You want to help others & your ability to connect, build incredibly strong relationships, and speak in a way that resonates with various stakeholders is enviable.
• C-level execs don’t make you sweat-- in fact, you’ve gotten comfortable with pitching to decision-makers at Enterprise-level companies.
• SEMrush, ScreamingFrog, BuiltWith, etc… You have an arsenal of marketing & business development tools at your disposal. Nothing gets you more excited than using technology to create efficiency & uncover insights.

• You want to win and you’re open to trying something new - you’ve been diving head first into automation & AI to try to find ways for it to improve your work life and home life, and can readily share examples of usage & familiarity.
