You won't do it alone at first. You'll work alongside our founder to develop your processes, taking on more ownership as you go.

You will probably succeed if:

• You are willing to take risks, accept feedback and are happy to be wrong. Successful marketing is science, not art. Trial and error, learning from mistakes, and rapid iteration is critical.
• You are self-motivated with contagious amounts of initiative.
• You use AI tools every day, as a habit, not a gimmick and are constantly "mind-blown" by what Claude Code/Codex can do.
• You have at least a baseline understanding of how Google search works, both organic and paid. You understand keywords, relevance, intent and topical authority (we will not be teaching you the basics of Google and you will need to demonstrate this during an in-person interview).
• You have a working understanding of SEO, AEO and Paid Search, the kind you'd typically pick up from hands-on projects, a placement, freelance, or a year or two in a role. We care that you can do it, not how long you've done it.
• You have taste: you can tell good work from AI slop, and it really bothers you when it's slop. Details really matter here.
• You are curious, sceptical of what AI gives you, and willing to overrule it when you think you're right.
• You live in the North East and are happy to work from a North Tyneside office 3-5 days per week (TBC).

You will not succeed if:

• You don't like being challenged.
• You don't understand how Google works under the hood.
• You want an easy job with a fixed career ladder and a big-agency feel.
• You need step-by-step instructions for everything.
• You aren't willing to take risks.
• You think AI is overhyped, or scary, or that you're faster than it.
• You don't like constant change.

What we offer

• £24,000 gross starting salary, plus performance and client-retention bonuses that should take realistic annual earnings past £30,000 as you grow into the role.
• A generous AI tooling budget: Claude, ChatGPT, whatever else you need.
• Direct mentorship from our founder on every client during client hand-over.
• 3 to 5 days a week in a North Tyneside office (TBC).
• Development of a genuinely valuable skill set, and real influence over results for the businesses we serve.

How to apply

Email your application to support@tynesidemarketing.co.uk. Please attach two things: your CV, and a separate cover letter (its own document, not in the body of the email). Both documents must be PDF.

We read every application properly, and we expect the same level of care back. To show us you've read this in full and that details matter, we'd like your cover letter to open with the line "Science, not art." and then tell us, in a sentence or two, about the last thing you built or improved using AI. You can then use the rest of your cover letter to introduce yourself and explain why you're a great fit for our agency and why our agency is a great fit for you. The CV tells us your job/education history and experience, the cover letter tells us about you.

Applications without a separate cover letter, or that miss that opening line, won't be reviewed. It's how we know who's paying attention. Details matter.
