Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You have 3-5 years in digital marketing/SEO sales or hybrid commercial consultant role with proven deal closure
  • You speak SEO fluently (technical, semantic, content, netlinking) and are obsessed with GEO trends—or eager to master both
  • You're comfortable with data analysis: pulling insights from GSC, GA, rank trackers, and building dashboards that tell a story
  • You write clearly and with precision—client proposals, audit reports, and content recommendations need to hit the mark every time
  • You thrive in fast-feedback cultures where challenge = growth, and you see client success as your north star
Won't Work If
  • You prefer hands-off management or avoid direct feedback; datashake's culture is built on iterative improvement and candor
  • SEO feels like a commodity to you; this role requires genuine curiosity about search algorithm shifts and GEO innovation
  • You're not comfortable translating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders; consultative selling is 60% of the job
  • You need six-figure salary or equity upside immediately; this is a high-growth startup at 80 people, not a late-stage exit play

Interview Process

1

Initial Screening

Phone/video call to assess SEO knowledge, sales background, and cultural fit. Expect questions on your favorite SEO case study and why you care about organic growth.

2

Technical Challenge

You'll likely review a sample website or audit brief and present findings—or draft a client proposal for a hypothetical prospect.

3

Manager + Team Interview

Deeper conversation with sales/ops leader and 1-2 team members about client collaboration, feedback loops, and how you handle pressure.

4

Culture Fit Discussion

Casual conversation about your values, team-building preferences, and what 'ambition + bienveillance' means to you.
