  • Digital Strategy: Manage LinkedIn profiles and campaigns, Google Ads, SEO, and website performance. Drive engagement through targeted content and paid advertising.
  • Reporting & Bids: Compile competitive bids and tenders with the commercial team, ensuring compelling business cases.
  • Corporate Social Investment (CSI): Develop and manage CSI projects, integrating them into digital campaigns.
  • Technology Adoption: Champion the use of AI and workflow optimisation tools to enhance business processes.

  • Strong analytical skills and ability to leverage data for decision-making.
  • Expertise in digital marketing platforms (LinkedIn, Google Ads, SEO).
  • Excellent team management and communication skills.
  • A forward-thinking approach to technology adoption.

Why Join AltGen?

  • Work with a dynamic team across multiple regions.
