  • We all work together to hit targets and support each other on proposals and pitches.

About the Client Development Team

While you do not need to know SEO, PPC, CRO, inbound Marketing and Social Media inside and out, you should at the very least know what all of those acronyms mean and what our industry is all about. We live and breathe the internet so our ideal candidate is already active on social media and knows a bit about the power of search marketing.

Our Seattle Client Development team is currently made up of one other Client Development Exec and reports to our Global Head of Client Development, based in London.

You will work directly with our Seattle Client Development Exec on a day-to-day basis, helping to support and grow our Seattle office. Distilled grows quickly, and our ideal person will love the challenges and opportunities that come from growth.

We are looking for someone who…

  • Has experience in providing customer service, ideally via phone, e-mail, and in person.
  • Is able to work independently, as well as part of a team, and is self motivated.
  • Has fantastic writing and presentation skills.
  • Is able to undertake research and analysis for new client opportunities and as a part of the pitching process.
  • Is a very fast learner and is able to apply learning to day to day activities.
  • Has a sense of humor.
  • Has a passion for online marketing and search marketing in particular.
  • Is hungry for a chance to move up quickly in the company and make the most of the uncapped growth opportunity.
