PPC, SEO, & AI Marketing Executive

We’re one of Oxfordshire’s leading digital agencies, and with an exciting mix of client projects and in‑house campaigns, we’re expanding our marketing team. This role is ideal for someone who’s ready to start or grow their career in digital marketing, learning from experienced PPC, SEO, and AI marketing specialists.

About Versantus: Versantus is an award‑winning digital agency based in Oxford, combining data‑led marketing and user experience design with expert website development. We help businesses grow through creative thinking, technical expertise, and a focus on measurable results. Our marketing team works across SEO, PPC, CRO, analytics, and AI‑driven optimisation. It’s an exciting time to join us, as we’re developing our own AI tools and methodologies to enhance how we deliver results for clients. You’ll be joining a collaborative team that values curiosity, experimentation, and learning together.

The role: As a PPC, SEO & AI Marketing Executive, you’ll support our specialists on live projects while developing the skills to run your own campaigns. You’ll learn how each channel connects to the customer journey, and how AI can be used to improve results and efficiency. This is a structured growth role, designed to give you hands‑on experience, mentoring, and a clear path towards becoming a Marketing Executive or Specialist within your first two years.

The kind of person we’re looking for: When we hire, we do things a little differently. We’re not focused on a long list of tools or years of experience. What matters most to us is how you think and how you approach your work. We’ve found that the people who thrive here share a few core traits:

• Curious – you love to explore new ideas, tools, and marketing trends, and you ask why things work, not just how.
• Collaborative – you enjoy learning from others, sharing ideas, and bringing people together to solve problems.
• Customer focused – you think about outcomes, not vanity metrics, and always connect your work back to audience needs and business goals.
• Grounded in fundamentals – you want to understand the principles behind great marketing: psychology, intent, and data, not just dashboards.
• Comfortable across boundaries – you like working with designers, developers, and strategists, and can see how it all fits together.
• Practical and adaptive – you get things done, know when to ask for help, and are happy to learn from mistakes.
• Excited by change – you’re interested in how AI and automation are shaping marketing, and want to be part of that journey.

If that sounds like you, we’ll give you the space, tools, and support to grow quickly. You’ll be doing things like:

• Supporting the setup and optimisation of Google Ads and paid social campaigns.
• Assisting with keyword research, SEO audits, and on‑page improvements.
• Helping to build reports and dashboards in GA4 and Looker Studio.
• Monitoring campaign performance, spotting trends, and sharing insights.
• Learning to use tools like Google Ads, GA4, Search Console, Tag Manager, SEMrush, and Screaming Frog.
• Working with developers, designers, and UX specialists to align marketing with great user experiences.
• Exploring ways AI can support and accelerate SEO and marketing processes, from research and content creation to automation and analysis.
• Testing new AI tools and building simple workflows or prototypes that help improve how we work.
• Contributing ideas to our wider AI research and development projects, helping us shape the next generation of digital marketing tools.

What you’ll gain:

• A clear career path with mentoring from experienced PPC, SEO, and marketing strategists.
• Hands‑on experience with live client campaigns across multiple sectors.
• Progression towards Marketing Executive or Specialist roles as your skills grow.
• Ongoing learning through our training budget, internal workshops, and industry events.
• The opportunity to help shape how we use AI in real‑world marketing.
• A supportive culture that values learning, curiosity, and creativity.

Details and benefits:

• £27,378 per year (Oxford Living Wage).
• 25 days holiday plus public holidays.
• Pension contribution.
• A top‑notch Mac or PC with generous AI usage.
• Option to join the Vitality health scheme after one year of service.
