SEO/AEO Specialist

Who we are

Era Search is Australia's first AI-native search agency. We exist because the way people find information is being rebuilt from the ground up - AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Maps - and most agencies are still pretending it isn't happening.

We're a small, agile team with serious infrastructure, serious ambitions, and a clear point of view on where search is going. No fluff, no layers, no BS. Just sharp people doing real work on brands that are genuinely exciting to work on - high-growth businesses, emerging consumer brands, and companies in fast-moving categories where organic visibility is a real competitive lever.

We're backed by the founders of various agencies, including Buttr - a performance creative agency managing client accounts across Meta and Google. Collectively, the founding team holds over 25 years working in the growth marketing space. So when we say we understand what drives growth, we mean it.

The role

You'll be hands-on from day one - technical audits, on-page optimisation, content structure, schema markup, keyword research, internal linking - the kind of work where you can see the direct results of what you do.

But this isn't just an SEO execution role. You'll be working at the frontier of where search is actually heading: AI answer engine visibility, knowledge graph optimisation, structured data for LLM citation, and the emerging playbook for ranking inside AI-generated responses. You'll help us build that playbook, not just follow one.

You'll work directly with the founding team - no account managers sitting between you and the strategy.

What we're looking for

• 1–4 years hands-on SEO experience, agency-side preferred
• Strong fundamentals: technical audits, on-page, content structure, keyword research, internal linking
• Comfortable in Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, or similar
• Already paying attention to AI search - you have thoughts on how ChatGPT and AI Overviews are reshaping visibility
• Resourceful - if you don't know how to do something, you figure it out
• Communicates clearly and hits deadlines without being chased
• Startup mentality - you move fast and don't need a manual for everything
• Bonus points
• Experience with schema markup, structured data, or entity SEOYou've run your own client portfolio with minimal to no oversight
• Basic scripting or familiarity with AI tools for content and researchWordPress experience beyond just clicking around in Elementor
• No degree required.

What we offer

• Ground-floor opportunity with real influence over how this agency is built
• Direct access to the founding team across two agencies - you'll learn fast
• Sydney based, state of the art office in premium building.
• A client roster of high-growth, ambitious brands - the kind of work you'll actually want to talk about
• If this sounds like you, apply now.
