Job description

Overview

Hi there! We’re WebFX, a full-funnel revenue marketing agency based in the US. We’ve been 9x named a Best Place to Work, and we’d love to meet you! We are a fast-growing company of more than 700 FXers, that has doubled in size over the past 5 years, with talented team members in 6 US offices, 20+ US States, and now based around the globe (and representing 18+ different countries, including offices in Guatemala and South Africa!).

While WebFX and our subsidiary companies, such as Nutshell CRM, SEO.com, and TeamAI, are growing rapidly, we are committed to growing strategically and sustainably, and that starts with growing our team of the #BestCoworkers - that’s where you come in!

We’re looking for people to join our mission to provide world-class full-funnel revenue marketing solutions to mid-size businesses worldwide. We are passionate about what we do, we’re committed to driving business growth for our clients, and we’re on the hunt for people just like you, who take pride in their work and want to be part of a company that does too.

What You’ll Get

World-Class Training and Ongoing Career Development

• No matter your level of experience, our “Bootcamp” training program is provided for all new WebFX “family members” to learn, grow and develop in and out of the office with the hard skills necessary to be successful in their position.
• Training doesn’t stop after your initial training period, we offer career development training and monthly Lunch-and-Learns with our state-of-the-art training amenities to facilitate departmental training, industry-related updates, and more!
• FXLearns program – where you get incentives for taking advantage of our countless industry training resources!
• With a track record of serving over 1,500+ clients, we’ve been able to truly master our processes and procedures, and we’ll train you on them - no need to develop how to do things (unless you want to help us continually improve that process!), because we refuse to ever stagnate, we are always pushing to make those processes 1% better too!

Opportunities for Growth

• WebFX has doubled in size over the past 5 years, and merit-based promotional opportunities are abundant if you're meeting or exceeding position performance metrics. We believe in growing and promoting our internal team first and foremost. In fact, 95% of our promotions are internal! All team members have a very clearly defined progression path, so you know exactly what is expected of you so you can put your career in your own hands.
• What’s more, you’re not expected to know it all - we believe in continually striving to be an expert in your subject matter of expertise, so while we will purposely challenge you to grow in your niche, we are a full-service agency that has experts in other departments that handle everything else - from link building, to social media, to web design, and web development. This is done so you can truly master your trade.
