Digital Marketing Specialist

ABOUT SPIDR

Spider Design, Inc. (Spidr) has been delivering full-service digital marketing solutions to large, global manufacturing clients for nearly 25 years. From our office in Aurora, IL, our small, focused team manages paid advertising, content publishing, creative production, websites, and analytics that our clients depend on for their daily operations. We stay small on purpose: everyone here does real work for real clients, every day.

THE ROLE

We are hiring a Digital Marketing Specialist who works across three areas in roughly equal measure: managing and publishing content in enterprise content management systems, producing digital creative, and running paid advertising campaigns. You will not be siloed into one lane. On any given day you might publish a product page, build a set of display ads, and adjust pacing on a search campaign.

You will work alongside a team of account, media, and development specialists, with direct exposure to enterprise-scale client work from day one. This is a full-time, on-site position at our office in Aurora, IL.

• Maintain taxonomy, navigation, metadata, and on-site search so users can quickly find what they need
• Coordinate with internal team members and brand stakeholders to clarify requirements, gather missing assets, and move requests through to completion
• Conduct ongoing content audits, inventory, and gap analysis

Design and creative production

• Produce digital ad creative, social graphics, and landing page assets, primarily in Canva
• Adapt brand-supplied creative across sizes, formats, and channels while staying within client brand standards

  hands-on experience in both platforms
• Experience publishing in a content management system;
