Job description

Siege Media is a 100% remote full-service GEO agency specializing in SEO, content marketing, digital PR, and affiliate marketing as a method of driving LLM visibility for brands like Asana, Casper, and Intuit. We've grown from our San Diego roots into a distributed team stretched across the U.S. We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to help us find and hire the people who make that growth possible.

Perks for U.S.-based team members include 100% health, dental, and vision coverage, a 50% 401(k) match up to 6% of your salary, paid parental leave, encouraged mental health days, unlimited PTO, a work-from-home equipment stipend, and donation matching for causes you care about. We're remote-first by design, so you can do great work from wherever you do your best thinking. Learn more about life at Siege by following us on Instagram and checking out our work on Dribbble!

We build our team the same way we build content: by valuing substance over sameness. We welcome applicants of every background, identity, and experience (including people of color, LGBTQIA+ folks, veterans, parents, and people with disabilities) and we're committed to a fair, accessible hiring process. If you need any accommodation to complete our application or interview process, just let us know.

A note on AI in our hiring process: we use AI tools to help source and screen candidates, summarize interviews, and speed up scheduling, always with a person reviewing the results. A human will read your application and be part of every decision about your candidacy.
