Job Description

An opening exists for a Director – SEO & SEM to join the Marketing Management vertical, focused on Digital Marketing. This is a senior level opening based out of Bhubaneswar, offered on a leadership - full-time basis.

The ideal candidate holds PGDM and brings roughly 15 years of hands-on exposure to digital marketing. Day-to-day, the work draws heavily on SEO/SEM, Market Research & Analytics, Campaign Planning, Budget Management (Marketing), and the person will be expected to apply these skills independently rather than under constant supervision.

Compensation for this position is structured around INR 33.3-68.6 LPA, in line with market standards for senior level roles within marketing management.

Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.

Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns.

Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions.

Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months.

Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables.

Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay.

The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.

Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.

Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.

There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager.

If your background aligns with the above and you're looking for your next step in Digital Marketing, we'd like to hear from you.
