About Hatch
Hatch Digital Marketing is a Bristol-based, full-service digital marketing agency. Were an accredited Google and Microsoft Partner, specialising in PPC, SEO and Web Design. Were a small, focused team that prioritises results over buzzwords.
The Opportunity
This is a genuine trainee role designed for someone looking to build a long-term career in digital marketing. We arent looking for prior SEO experience - wed actually prefer to teach you our own methods from scratch.
Who were looking for
You might be working in a different industry and feel that your current path doesnt challenge you enough.
You will be a good fit if:
* You are a detail person. Youre the one who notices when something is slightly off, and you have the persistence to find out why.
* You are a self-starter & "quiet learner". Youre happy to put your head down, do the reading, and master a skill properly before trying to show off.
* You are comfortable with feedback. You want to get better at what you do, and you understand that being corrected is the fastest way to learn.
What you will learn
This is a structured path. Over the first 12 months youll move from learning the fundamentals to managing your own accounts under supervision, and within 18–24 months the goal is for you to be running those accounts as a full SEO Executive.
Your training will cover:
* The technical side - how search engines actually crawl the web and how to diagnose site issues.
* The strategic side - keyword research, competitor analysis, and understanding user intent.
* The toolkit - industry-standard software including Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
* The commercial side - how to talk to clients and demonstrate the value of the work we do.
Requirements
* Professional experience: at least 2 years in a professional environment (any industry).
* Data literacy: you dont need to be a maths genius, but you should be comfortable looking at a spreadsheet and spotting a trend.
* Digital literacy: You know how to use Microsoft Word and the spell checker at the very least!
* Self-motivation: If you need an external force to keep you going, this isnt the role for you.
What will make you stand out
If you have ever done any of the following
* Teaching yourself a technical skill (basic coding, a language, a tool)
* Building and managing your own website, blog or portfolio
* Running a side business, Etsy shop or eBay operation - anything that has generated revenue outside of your employment.
* Keeping a spreadsheet, tracker or system for something you care about (budgeting counts!)
* Writing anything long‑form that has been published online.
The Package
* Salary:£22,000 – £26,000 p/a (DOE), with formal reviews at 6 and 12 months and salary increases tied to development milestones.
