Ecomexperts is a digital performance marketing agency based in Perth, Western Australia. We provide SEO, Google Ads and web design services to Australian and international clients.

They want clear answers about what we are doing, why we are doing it and whether it is working.About the Role

We are looking for someone who wants to become a confident Digital Marketing Account Manager in a fast-paced agency environment. You may already have account management experience, but this is not essential. We also welcome candidates with one to two years of general digital marketing, SEO, paid advertising, web or agency experience. You will initially support our team with client communication, task coordination, reporting and campaign administration. As your knowledge and confidence grow, you will gradually take responsibility for a small portfolio of clients. We do not expect you to independently manage accounts or lead meetings from day one. You will receive training, join client meetings and work closely with senior SEO specialists, project coordinator and our SEO Director. SEO is the largest part of our work, but Google Ads and web design are also important parts of the role.What You Will Learn

  • Turn client requests into clear tasks for our delivery team
  • Explain SEO, Google Ads and website work in plain language

  • You struggle to manage several tasks or conversations at once
  • You go quiet when something goes wrong
