Open role
Search Marketing Specialist (SEO & Google Ads)
Izmi helps SMEs across the UK and MENA win visibility in both traditional and AI-powered search. We are building our delivery team and hiring a hands-on search specialist who is equally comfortable diagnosing a crawl issue and managing Google Ads accounts. This is a delivery role, not an account-management one: our UK team handles clients, and you own the work that makes them rank and convert. The role reports to our SEO Manager.

About Izmi
