Why this position exists in our organization:

This position exists in our organization to concurrently keep 45+ fast-paced, very complex search engine optimization (SEO) and internet marketing projects moving ahead smoothly and on time, and to relieve the business owner of as many operations tasks as possible. 

This individual will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day progress of projects, ensuring that nothing “falls through the cracks”. This person also plays the role of client liaison and account manager, ensuring that clients receive prompt and constant communication about their projects. 

This employee is expected to bring new levels of efficiency to the organization so that additional projects and clients can be taken on without the need for additional resources. 

Why this is a rewarding role:

This role is a crucial one, that if done properly, will:

• Make clients feel cared for, through excellent communication
• Get clients better results, via thorough attention to detail
• Keep the business owner and team members organized and stress-free, by ensuring that no task “falls through the cracks”
• Directly contribute to the organization’s growth through increased efficiency and capacity to take on more projects and clients.

The right individual, who consistently contributes to these outcomes, will not only enjoy the personal satisfaction that naturally occurs by producing such results, but will also be rewarded with increases in compensation that are reflective of the increases in client satisfaction, company revenue, and stress relief that they have brought to the organization. 

Additionally, anyone with interest in internet marketing, specifically search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising, will learn a great deal about the industry through osmosis as they lead these projects. If desired, direct participation in this type of project work could be considered if desired.
