Are you experienced in driving sustainable business growth through search engine marketing? Do you get excited about the latest (AI-driven) trends in SEA and SEO? The search landscape is evolving faster than ever, and staying ahead of the curve is more important than ever. Are you the one who helps keeping us there?

• Maintain relationships with external partners, such as Google and media agencies, ensuring effective communication and collaboration.
