JOB OVERVIEW

Marketix Digital is a Sydney-based SEO agency that works with businesses where quality matters more than volume.

We don't chase vanity metrics or produce generic SEO deliverables. Our work involves deep technical SEO, entity optimisation, information architecture, AI search optimisation, content strategy, competitor analysis and solving complex ranking problems.

If you enjoy learning, researching and becoming genuinely excellent at your craft, you'll fit in well here.

If you're looking for an easy production role where you simply follow checklists, this probably isn't the right position.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior SEO Specialist who enjoys thinking deeply about problems.

You'll be responsible for delivering high-quality SEO work across a range of Australian businesses.

Typical responsibilities include:

Technical SEO audits
Content planning and optimisation
Entity and topical authority research
Internal linking strategies
Competitor analysis
Keyword research
EEAT improvements
AI search optimisation
Schema implementation recommendations
Website architecture planning
Performance monitoring
Testing hypotheses and validating results

This role requires someone who enjoys solving problems, not simply completing tasks.

What We're Looking For

We value mindset as much as experience.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

Exceptional attention to detail
Strong critical thinking skills
Excellent written English
A genuine curiosity to understand how search engines work
An ownership mentality
Strong research skills
The ability to work independently
A commitment to continuous learning
High personal standards
A willingness to challenge assumptions using evidence

You should naturally ask:

Why?
Is there a better way?
Have I verified this?
What have competitors missed?

Essential Requirements
Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals
Experience using tools such as Ahrefs, Google Search Console and Google Analytics
Strong technical SEO knowledge
Experience analysing websites and identifying opportunities
Comfortable working with spreadsheets and large datasets
Excellent written and spoken English
Reliable internet connection
Ability to manage priorities without constant supervision

What Success Looks Like

You're the type of person who checks your own work before anyone else has to.

You don't stop once the task is technically complete. You keep looking until you've produced work you're genuinely proud of.

You enjoy researching topics in depth.

You care about getting the right answer, not the fastest answer.

Why Join Marketix?

Work directly with an experienced SEO strategist with over 20 years of industry experience.
Learn advanced SEO strategies beyond standard agency work.
Exposure to AI search optimisation and advanced technical SEO.
Long-term career opportunity with ongoing development.
Flexible remote work environment.
A culture that values quality over quantity.

How to Apply

Please include:

A short introduction about yourself.
Your SEO experience.
The most technically challenging SEO problem you've solved and how you approached it.
Three websites you're proud to have worked on and exactly what you contributed.
The word ENTITY as the first word of your application so we know you've read this advertisement carefully.

Applications that are generic or AI-generated without personalisation are unlikely to progress.
