SEO Manager
Hi, I am Egor. I am the chief marketing officer at Top 3D Shop. In 2018, Top 3D Shop was named the best digital manufacturing integrator in Eastern Europe. With our ambitions set high, we are currently expanding across Russia, the CIS and the USA. The goal is to hit the billion mark by the end of this year.
I am looking for a T-shaped marketer who will be responsible for 30% of that growth, managing our expansion across both continents (in particular, building the US operation from the ground up).
About us
Top 3D Shop is the leading retailer of 3D equipment in Eastern Europe. We sell 3D printers, 3D scanners, CNC machines and robots, so our clients can build rad shit for themselves and their clients. Here’s Astronaut Mark Vande Hei using a 3D printed version of an EVA GoPro casing during a spacewalk:

The Skills
Experience building and driving SEO strategy is an absolute must, but your ability to tie outcomes to campaign goals and measure impact is what gives you an edge
You're a proficient user of such tools as Key Collector, Key Assort, Google Search Console, Яндекс.Вебмастер, Ahrefs, Excel and Screaming Frog
SEO is your thing, but we all know it takes a more holistic approach to digital marketing to be successful nowadays: You're confident using Analytics to make data-driven decisions—You understand that Content Strategy is really about providing resources to solve users problems—You know the key to promoting content isn't how long your prospect list is, but identifying and connecting with influencers like a PR pro—You have a solid understanding of how social media channels operate and you're able to make major recommendations about our YouTube strategy
Not only are you a talented copywriter, content marketer, and overall storyteller, you successfully organise teams of writers, designers and developers to create stellar client and influencer experiences
When questions or challenges present themselves, you don’t sweat it for a second; you’re extremely comfortable interfacing with clients and team members, and driving conversations with C-Level executives
There’s always a method (and some data) behind our madness! Because of that, critical and strategic thinking skills are a must
We move fast and you’ll be juggling lots of priorities. You’ll need solid project management skills to get the job done. You could oversee project resources, meet deadlines and delegate tasks in your sleep—and your experience with project management tools like Trello doesn’t hurt, either. You’re comfortable managing your own deadlines and when things get a little crazy, you’re okay with asking for help
Things change quickly in the digital space and your ability to measure strategy effectiveness (changes to rankings, traffic, conversions) and make decisions based on that data is killer. Our team loves you for it!
You’re passionate about staying “in-the-know” on SEO trends, and you want to share your own knowledge with the team, providing useful tutorials and documentation
