SEO Manager Position - Oregon, United States - Humble Bunny

Description

SEOManager Job Position Available – Tokyo, Japan

Our first ever Remote Work Week in Okinawa

As our name "Humble" suggests, we are looking for people dripping with passion, who are humble in their approach to their work, themselves, and their peers.

If you're able to think unconventionally, get fired up at the opportunity to build and reimagine something new, and also feel a "day well spent" after helping others find their true potential and living transparently–we'd love to have you in our "fluffle" (*means a group of wild bunnies )
Work with Purpose

With a mission of catalyzing the "Success" of others,

we invite you to join us in further evolving Humble Bunny and growing our small business towards Japan's #1 marketing agency from both a brand and impact standpoint, but also as a culture and team-driven employer.

We're looking for people who want to have an impact on Clients of course, but also on their peers as well as helping Humble Bunny grow as a powerhouse brand.

Humble Bunny has

instilled the concept of work-life integration , by defining a culture code

that allows members from different backgrounds and cultures to maximize their individuality and enrich not only their work but also their lives, leading to the success of their clients.

This concept is based on the life experiences and entrepreneurial spirit of Nate, the CEO of Humble Bunny.

In my early years in Japan, culture shock and the intense work life of Japanese business ensnared me at a small start up.

While I learned a lot and developed a stronger business acumen there, I was so consumed with work that I was unable to enjoy the Japanese culture and life.

Through these experiences, I came to believe that my work and life values are based on the premise of enjoying a productive and contributive work, but also socially and individually fulfilling personal life.

Now, as the Director of Humble Bunny, I am blessed with the privilege of building an equal balance for others (my team), while breaking the status quo of what a big city agency (at least in Tokyo) is supposed to be.

I'm of course equally lucky to spend quality family time with my wife and children, and to deepen my understanding of the wonderful culture of this peacefully beautiful country called Japan.

This is connected to the concept of work-life integration, which is to enrich not only our members' work lives but also their lives, leading to the success of our clients and shaping our corporate culture.

Of course, in order to provide quality solutions to our clients in a responsible manner, it is important to work efficiently and quickly.

We also believe it is important to take on moderate amounts of work, and manageable levels of mental and emotional strain.

As a company, we constantly look to control and improve mechanisms for this. As a team, we lift and support each other to live true to themselves.

We are looking for people who can work with integrity and humility for the benefit of the Humble Bunny team and clients.

We also hope to meet members who enjoy life, value a high-contributing, but balanced lifestyle, and who will continue to transform their communities and peers with a unique, warm, and supportive self culture.

Leadership

As a Manager, we're expecting you to have the ability to motivate, support, and elicit positivity in your teams, even when the goings are tough.

Without this skill, we won't be able to put people under you as they'll be demotivated towards non-success.

Austerity and humility to own mistakes and improve forward
Conscientiousness

Here's the Wikipedia definition of this one:
Conscientious people tend to be efficient and organized as opposed to easy-going and disorderly.

They tend to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; they display planned rather than spontaneous behavior; and they are generally dependable.

If that's you, show us how

From there, successful candidates will be invited to that formal first interview.

A Mix of Major Global Brands, and some Underdog Grassroots Ones as Well

Humble Bunny has worked with many global brands , some of which are not publicly available on the website. Working at Humble Bunny means that you can collaborate with these companies as part of your career. We also work a lot with smaller and mid-size clients. Getting us closer to decision-making roles and often allowing more command.
Take the initiative and be part of a growing brand.

At Humble Bunny, we're averaging over 25% growth rate year-over-year. And we do that with a small team.

If you want to be part of something bigger and have more a claim to the result, we're an amazing place for you to thrive.

We are small, nimble, and always changing.

If you have a good idea, this is the environment where you can implement it and get the support of the CEO and other staff members to help you make that idea a reality.

Feel free to bring in proposals for industries you are interested in, plan projects, or start your own company. It is the most interesting way to work.

For example, one front-end web developer was so interested in analytics that he implemented a new system to calculate page depth and subsequently more accurate page performance.

As a result of his proactive approach to his ideas, he not only learned new skills, but also contributed significantly to the direction and business execution of an innovative analysis project we were developing.

That could be you if you have the fire in you.
