Job description

We are seeking the creative, social-first Marketing Manager of our dreams to lead and champion SEO Sherpa’s brand marketing team. In this role, you won't just keep the engines running; you will hold the keys to how our agency brand and CEO-led channels show up to the world. Your mission is simple but crucial: turn expert industry thinking into thumb-stopping content that people actually want to watch, read, save, share, and talk about.

You will lead our brand marketing team, including marketing coordinator and graphic designers—while working closely with our Owned Media Manager, and other members of the leadership team. In your role you will work closely with, and directly report to James Reynolds the CEO. This is an exciting opportunity for a talented marketing manager who wants to grow in their career.

This isn't a job for someone who wants to post generic B2B platitudes or hide behind corporate beige content. You understand that great marketing comes down to sharper ideas, stronger creative direction, better distribution, and a radically clear point of view. From strategizing high-impact social campaigns and newsletters to overseeing video and podcast assets from concept to completion, you are the ultimate gatekeeper of our brand quality.

Our fast-moving brand function thrives on speed and taste. To you, being chronically online is an asset—you know what’s trending, what’s tired, and how to turn deeply technical digital marketing concepts into accessible, engaging, and culturally relevant stories. You are highly organized, data-informed, and comfortable pushing creative boundaries to build an audience that stays hooked.

Note: This is a full-time, hybrid position based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. If you're not in Dubai yet, don't sweat it—we handle relocation costs, flights, visas, and your initial accommodation to get you settled seamlessly.

We are looking for an experienced brand or growth marketing professional who can manage a creative production pipeline to the highest standard.

Is This Role Right For You?

If you answer “YES” to all these, we’ll be a great fit:

• You have serious runs on the board in social media, content marketing, or brand building—ideally with experience bringing B2C/lifestyle energy into a B2B space.
• You possess exceptional creative taste. You instantly spot the difference between a graphic layout or caption that is "technically fine" and one that is genuinely strong.
• You are a natural leader and mentor. You feel completely comfortable guiding writers, designers, and video editors, giving sharp feedback that elevates the final output without slowing down momentum.
• You have a gift for simplification. You can take a complex SEO technique or a piece of technical marketing data and repackage it into a brilliant hook, carousel, or newsletter angle.
• You love ideation but worship execution. You have the organizational discipline to manage multiple moving parts, content calendars, and cross-team deadlines without dropping the ball.
• You are data-informed, not data-blind. You track analytics to see what content is truly landing, but you never let raw numbers kill a brave, creative idea.
• You have immaculate written and spoken communication skills, enabling you to capture and elevate unique brand and personal profiles flawlessly.
• Your standards are unapologetically high. You naturally push work from "good enough" to something distinctive and worth paying attention to.

• The opportunity to work with a talented team on an important mission.
• Unlimited paid personal time off for vacation, sick, and wellness days.
• Flexible hours and the freedom to work remotely from anywhere for up to 6 weeks per year.
• Radical transparency across business metrics and information — we call this “open for business.”
• 100% company-paid health insurance and annual airfare.
• A brand new Apple Mac on your first day.
• When the company does well, so will you — 8–15% of net profit gets shared among eligible team members.
• Regular training, professional workshops, and book purchases covered.
