Group 2062
StudioHawk gives amazing opportunities to those driven and looking to grow in digital marketing. Over my time here, I have learned to manage all types of SEO campaigns and have been given the chance to develop my leadership skills with the development of the Sydney team. I feel very grateful for the opportunity that was given to me and can't wait to extend this to other potential SEO Specialists in the future.
Fearghas Flahvin
Operations Lead - StudioHawk (Sydney)
Group 2048
At Studiohawk, I’ve been allowed to hit more goals than I would have expected for myself. Coming from a background with little to no SEO experience, I was able to progress from a junior role, SEO specialist, team leader, and now onto leading the Learning and Development arm of StudioHawk, a passion that StudioHawk was able to help grow and foster throughout my years here. I’ve worked with brands I’m incredibly passionate about from an early stage of my career here. This can be largely attributed to StudioHawk's passion for working with people who are also passionate about what they do.
Jenna Samuel
Learning & Development lead - StudioHawk (Melbourne)
Group 2061
I came to StudioHawk with a vision of being heard, making an impact, and working with great people. In the time I have been here, all my expectations have been exceeded. I’ve had the opportunity to contribute not only to my direct team but to the whole agency; worked with amazing clients and got great results, but above everything, I have found a bunch of beautiful people who are passionate about what they do, and that for me has been the best of it all.
Alejandro Restrepo Imery
SEO Team Leader - StudioHawk (Sydney)
Group 2032 (1)
During my time at StudioHawk, I’ve been given opportunities I never thought were possible for myself. I started as a part-time Receptionist, then stepped into an Office Coordinator role, and was then offered a chance to build up and streamline the recruitment processes as StudioHawk’s first in-house Recruitment Specialist. Having no experience in HR or recruitment, my progression is a testament to the strong ethos we have at StudioHawk of believing in people and giving everyone a chance. Knowing the people I work with believe in me and want to see me succeed has made my time here so special, and I love being able to give that opportunity to others.

What qualities does StudioHawk look for in a candidate?
At StudioHawk, we’re always on the lookout for passionate SEO enthusiasts who are motivated to grow and develop their skills. Being humble and a team player is essential, as we value collaboration and a supportive work environment. If you’re eager to learn and have a genuine interest in SEO, you’ll fit right in with our team.
Does StudioHawk offer remote or hybrid work opportunities?
While we generally do not offer fully remote roles, most positions in our Australian offices are hybrid. This means you’ll have the flexibility to work from home on Mondays and Fridays while spending Tuesdays through Thursdays in the office. This setup fosters collaboration while still offering a work-from-home balance.
 
We also offer additional work-from-home days to use throughout the year when you need an extra day at home - for example if you've got a house inspection you want to be home for!
Are there opportunities for professional development and growth at StudioHawk?
Absolutely! At StudioHawk, one of our core values is continuous growth and learning. We place a strong emphasis on both professional and personal development, offering plenty of opportunities to upskill, learn new techniques, and advance your career. Whether through training, mentorship, or hands-on experience, we’re dedicated to helping our team members grow.
What is the onboarding process like at StudioHawk?
The onboarding process at StudioHawk is designed to set you up for success from day one - and get you integrated with other team members! While it varies slightly depending on the role, here’s an overview of what to expect:

  • For juniors: A comprehensive six-week boot camp to equip you with the skills and knowledge you’ll need to thrive.

  • For other roles: A structured one-week onboarding and training program to get you up to speed.


During your first week, you’ll also attend a People & Culture Orientation, where you’ll learn about the company’s values, culture, and operations. We’ll send you a welcome letter before you start, outlining your first week to help you feel prepared. Plus, your first week wouldn’t be complete without a welcome lunch to meet your team! Your first 90 days are all about setting you up for success, with support and guidance every step of the way.
What makes StudioHawk’s culture unique?
I know we'll sound like a broken record here but...it’s the people. From the management team to our newbies, StudioHawk is a place where everyone has each other’s backs. The supportive and collaborative environment is what truly sets us apart. Whether you need advice, encouragement, or just someone to brainstorm with, you can count on your team to be there for you.
