Junior Search Engine Optimization Specialist

Junior Search Specialist (Entry-Level, Part-Time)

StudioBetter · Collingwood, Melbourne · In-office, 3 days a week

About StudioBetter

StudioBetter is a boutique search marketing agency based in Collingwood, specialising in SEO, Google Ads and AI search. We work directly with ambitious brands, from ecommerce stores to service businesses, with no lock-in contracts and no layers of account managers. Just a small, sharp team doing work that actually moves the needle.

We're growing, and we're looking for a motivated, curious Junior Search Specialist to join us. This is an entry-level role. No prior experience required. You'll be trained in everything you need to know, and you'll be doing real client work from day one.

What you'll be doing

• Assisting with SEO: keyword research, on-page optimisation and reporting
• Supporting Google Ads campaign updates, monitoring and performance reporting
• Conducting competitor and market research
• Communicating with clients via email and occasionally phone
• Data entry and light reporting
• Website updates and admin tasks, mostly in WordPress, Shopify or similar

Who you'll be working with

You'll work closely with Caleb, StudioBetter's founder, who has over nine years of experience across agency-side and in-house digital marketing, including a head of digital role at a large startup.

Caleb is genuinely invested in developing the people around him. You'll get direct access to his knowledge across SEO, Google Ads, digital strategy, business development and account management: pretty much everything you need to build a strong career in search marketing.

No coffee runs or busywork. You'll be learning from someone who knows the game, alongside a team that's building something real.

What we're looking for

We care less about your resume and more about your mindset. The right person will:

• Be a self-learner who enjoys figuring things out
• Ask questions, even (especially) the "dumb" ones
• Have strong attention to detail and good organisational skills
• Be goal-driven without taking themselves too seriously
• Bring energy, curiosity and a willingness to roll up their sleeves

What you'll get

• Hands-on training and mentoring in SEO, Google Ads and search strategy
• Real responsibility from day one
• Direct exposure to client work and agency life
• A casual, collaborative environment where questions are encouraged
• A clear path to grow into a specialist role as the agency scales

Working arrangement

You'll start in the office 3 days a week while you're getting trained up. Once you're up to speed, the role moves to 5 days a week in a hybrid setup (3 days in the office, 2 from home).

How to apply

Apply via LinkedIn or email caleb@studiobetter.com.au with:

1. A short video (2–3 minutes is plenty) telling us who you are, one of your life goals (work or personal), and why this role interests you. We know video can feel daunting, but it beats a boring cover letter. Loom is free.
2. Your resume

We'd love to hear from you.
