Marketing Manager

We are seeking the creative, social-first Marketing Manager of our dreams to lead and champion SEO Sherpa’s brand marketing team. In this role, you won't just keep the engines running; you will hold the keys to how our agency brand and CEO-led channels show up to the world. Your mission is simple but crucial: turn expert industry thinking into thumb-stopping content that people actually want to watch, read, save, share, and talk about. You will lead our brand marketing team, including marketing coordinator and graphic designers—while working closely with our Owned Media Manager, and other members of the leadership team. In your role you will work closely with, and directly report to James Reynolds the CEO. This is an exciting opportunity for a talented marketing manager who wants to grow in their career. This isn't a job for someone who wants to post generic B2B platitudes or hide behind corporate beige content. You understand that great marketing comes down to sharper ideas, stronger creative direction, better distribution, and a radically clear point of view. From strategizing high-impact social campaigns and newsletters to overseeing video and podcast assets from concept to completion, you are the ultimate gatekeeper of our brand quality. Our fast-moving brand function thrives on speed and taste. To you, being chronically online is an asset—you know what’s trending, what’s tired, and how to turn deeply technical digital marketing concepts into accessible, engaging, and culturally relevant stories. You are highly organized, data-informed, and comfortable pushing creative boundaries to build an audience that stays hooked. Note: This is a full-time, hybrid position based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. If you're not in Dubai yet, don't sweat it—we handle relocation costs, flights, visas, and your initial accommodation to get you settled seamlessly.
