Job description

Overview

DEPT is a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. We operate at the intersection of technology and marketing, delivering growth invention services across Brand & Media, Experience, Commerce, CRM, and Technology & Data. We’re 50/50 tech and marketing, partner-led, and first to move. Clients include Google, Lufthansa, Meta, eBay, and OpenAI. We have been certified B Corp and Climate Neutral since 2021.

JOB PURPOSE

This position sits in our Creative & Media team based in London. We combine data, technology, creative content, and paid media to crack brands’ business problems and drive revenue through innovative digital marketing solutions. We plan, create, and execute a variety of campaigns, from culture-led, social-first content to award-winning integrated campaigns built from data-led strategies and insights. Our clients include Just Eat Takeaway, Victoria's Secret, TikTok, The White Company, Meta, Pepsico, EasyJet, and many more.

We are proud of the award-winning campaigns we produce for a range of brands and believe our Media Team is pivotal to those campaigns. Our Media Team includes paid and organic media specialists, and we are looking for a new Junior SEO/GEO Specialist to join an exciting new client.

Joining this team means you will become part of our UK & Ireland team, and our wider EMEA SEO team which spans several offices across Europe. The EMEA SEO team, with 40+ specialists, helps clients develop and grow their online businesses through organic search in all its shapes and forms. You will go beyond executing SEO tasks; with more experienced consultants, you will function as a strategic advisor to our clients by understanding their needs and proposing hands-on solutions.

This role requires a strong foundation and interest in SEO (and GEO), along with solid execution skills and a results-oriented approach. The ideal candidate will apply existing knowledge to support the team in solving practical, less-defined tasks and provide clear input to colleagues and clients. A focus on continuous learning and expanding expertise is essential. The candidate is expected to deliver high-quality operational work and communicate clearly and proactively.

As an SEO/GEO Specialist, you are an expert in improving the organic visibility of brands online and have an interest in optimising content for AI models (LLMs). You will work with the SEO/GEO Lead on projects from start to finish. Based on data and with the help of multiple tools, you will help create, analyse and implement long-term SEO strategies to ensure clients are serviced effectively.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Contribute to SEO/GEO projects from planning through delivery, collaborating with clients and internal teams
• Assist in developing long-term SEO (and GEO) strategies to support client growth
• Conduct technical, content, and authority analyses with guidance from senior team members
• Help set up implementation plans and workflows for clients and internal projects
• Respond to internal and external briefs with clear, actionable input
• Support reporting on SEO (and GEO) activity (weekly, monthly, quarterly)
• Deliver work to a high standard and meet agreed deadlines
• Share ideas and contribute to the team’s creative process
• Present work and updates internally and, when needed, externally

WHAT YOU BRING

• At least 2 years of hands-on experience with SEO, ideally from an agency or through personal web projects
• Experience using SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Moz, or Semrush
• Strong understanding of SEO basics, with interest in broader digital marketing (including paid media)
• Experience using AI search tools such as Profound, Peec.aI, Scrunch or similar to measure AI visibility
• Basic understanding of social media platforms, social search (TikTok and Instagram SEO) or experience optimising social content for organic discovery
• Comfortable working in an international environment and are motivated to build expertise in SEO, GEO and beyond
• Comfortable working with Excel/Google Sheets, Word/Google Docs, PowerPoint/ Google Slides, and Google Looker Studio or equivalent
• Analytical, detail-oriented, and eager to learn, while also being proactive and communicative
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage time effectively
• Confident in preparing and delivering presentations
• Flexible and able to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment

WE OFFER

• A flexible, hybrid working policy
• The choice of medical healthcare providers (Bupa or Medicash)
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off each year
• Company pension scheme
• Ride to work scheme
• Enhanced family friendly policies
