Digital Marketing Manager (SEO & PPC)

About Blackbird e-Solutions LLC

Blackbird e-Solutions LLC is a boutique digital marketing agency built exclusively for the soccer industry. From youth clubs to apparel brands to training platforms, we help soccer businesses grow through SEO, AI search optimization, paid advertising, content marketing, and analytics. Our edge is that we live in the sport, not just market for it.

We are building something bigger. Behind the agency is a vertically integrated soccer holding company with ambitions that extend well past 2026. Club partnerships, apparel launches, and sports platforms are all on the roadmap.

About the Role

This is a hands-on role for a disciplined marketer who thrives in structured operational environments. You will own the work across our retainer accounts: running the SEO, building and optimizing the paid campaigns, owning the content calendars, and pulling the reporting. 

To set you up for success, you will start out working directly with the founder during an onboarding window. To get up to speed, you will be trained on the accounts, the tools, SOPs, and how we deliver. 

From there, you will do the work and keep it organized: executing across the accounts while coordinating calendars, priorities, and reporting so nothing slips. If you like being in the accounts, in the tools, and shipping the work, this role is built for you.

The soccer passion is not a nice-to-have. It is the filter. This is a soccer company at its core, and that shapes how we think, what we talk about, and where this goes. Your understanding of soccer culture and industry terminology is what ensures our marketing copy and campaign strategies connect with our target audience. 

What You Will Own

• SEO & AI Search Execution: On-page and technical SEO, keyword research, site audits, content briefs, and optimization across client sites

• Paid Advertising: Build, launch, and optimize campaigns end to end, including audience targeting, ad copy, budget pacing, and ongoing performance tuning

• Content Delivery: Own content calendars and publishing schedules across client accounts, and produce or direct the work itself

• Performance Oversight: Track and report on core SEO, and PPC and site metrics across the portfolio, flagging what is underperforming and acting on it before a client has to ask

• Client Delivery: Own the day-to-day delivery of our active retainer accounts, making sure every deliverable ships on time and to standard without founder involvement

• Client Coordination: Coordinate workflows across the portfolio, prioritize competing demands, and keep clients informed and projects moving

What We Are Looking For

• 2 to 4+ years executing digital marketing work across SEO and paid, with experience coordinating delivery across multiple client accounts

• Process-Driven Mindset: You take pride in structured workflows, checklist precision, and organized task management. 

• Hands-on with the tools: GA4, Google Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, and an SEO platform such as Ahrefs or Semrush

• Able to show real work you personally ran and the results it produced

• Highly organized and self-directed, you operate without someone looking over your shoulder

• Clear communicator who can explain performance in plain language

• Agency experience preferred

The Soccer Requirement

You must have a genuine, deep passion for soccer. Not casual interest, real passion. This is a soccer company at its core, and that shapes how we think, what we talk about, and where this goes.

Growth Path

This role starts in agency operations, but it does not stay there. As the business scales, high performers move into the soccer holding company side: coordinating club partnerships, supporting apparel and merchandise launches, and driving operations for our sports platforms. If soccer is your world, this is your way in.
