Job description

If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you! What will you be doing? Babble's marketing function is building the capability to be found, trusted, and chosen — both by traditional search engines and by the AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) increasingly used to research and shortlist suppliers. This role is the hands-on execution engine behind that effort: doing the technical SEO and AEO work day to day, supporting web health and digital experience, and assisting with conversion rate optimisation, all under the direction of the Demand Performance Manager, who owns the strategy and standards for these capabilities. This is an entry-level role (suited to up to 2 years' experience) for someone who wants to build a career in digital performance marketing. Babble is looking for the right mindset — curiosity, analytical rigour, and comfort with AI tools — over specific platform experience.
