Join the Hawks

Relocating from the UK to Australia to join StudioHawk was one of the best decisions I’ve made. After 5 years in the industry, StudioHawk completely reignited my passion for SEO. The supportive culture, focus on growth, and genuine care for employees make it such a special place to work. After just eight months, I was given the opportunity to step up as a Team Leader and lead my own group of talented specialists, a true reflection of how invested StudioHawk is in helping its people exceed expectations and achieve their professional goals. Every day I’m inspired by the people around me, their knowledge, creativity, and drive make StudioHawk an incredible environment to learn, grow, and thrive.

Anja Dolphin

SEO Team Leader - StudioHawk (Melbourne)

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)

StudioHawk is a place that gives you real opportunity, the kind that challenges you to build, lead, and make an impact. When I joined, there was no playbook for enterprise SEO here. I was given the trust and space to create it from scratch, shaping what enterprise search could look like inside one of Australia’s top independent agencies.Since then, I’ve had the chance to work with incredible people and partner with some of the biggest brands in Australia & across the world. Every project brings something new, new problems to solve, new ideas to test, and new ways to grow.What makes StudioHawk different is that opportunity isn’t just given once, it keeps showing up. If you’re someone who wants to take ownership, push boundaries, and see how far you can go, this is the place to do it

James Griffin

Enterprise SEO Manager - StudioHawk (Sydney)

Reflecting on my time at StudioHawk thus far, there are multiple aspects that spring to mind, the first of those being welcoming; from the moment I first stepped into the office there were many open arms, which I’m very grateful for as it led to building many meaningful relationships. From a career perspective, when tracing my journey back the amount I’ve learnt still baffles me—you will never stop learning in an industry where change is ever-present. My time at StudioHawk has also enabled me to build upon my creative writing degree through opportunities presented to me via “side quests” and colleague queries. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at StudioHawk and look forward to what the future holds.

Joshua O'Dwyer

SEO Specialist - StudioHawk (Melbourne)

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)

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

General Manager - StudioHawk (Melbourne)

What first started as a part-time job, while pursuing a Master’s in Digital Marketing, quickly turned into a career. From an SEO Specialist to now Product Lead, StudioHawk has continuously fostered a culture of personal and professional development. I was seen, heard, and understood for my contributions and allowed to bring meaningful results and changes - big or small - to my direct team, clients, and the agency.

Jin Nam

Product Lead - StudioHawk (Melbourne)

What I’ve appreciated most about working at StudioHawk is the opportunity to lead and be part of so many amazing marketing projects. From launching our own podcast and a completely new StudioHawk website to creating countless social campaigns, video content, and even growing our in-house marketing team, the list really does go on. I genuinely look forward to coming into the office for the good vibes and the chance to bounce ideas around with the team.

Sian Caton

Marketing Manager - StudioHawk (Melbourne)

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.

Tess Nolan

Recruitment Specialist - StudioHawk (Melbourne)

Being in an agency can be challenging anywhere, but StudioHawk has truly supported my growth, not only in my career, but also in how I communicate and collaborate every day. I’ve also made lifelong friends here, which makes coming into the office something I genuinely look forward to.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. This sense of camaraderie and shared purpose is what makes our culture so special.
