• Experience in SEO/AI visibility is considered a big plus
• Proven track record of developing and executing successful marketing strategies in the Indonesian market. Ideally bringing a global brand to the market.
• Ability to go after quick wins in the first few months in the role, keep what’s working, and develop a mid- to long-term strategy tailored to the local market while working as a one-person team (to start with).
• Excellent content creation and digital marketing skills, with the ability to produce high-quality assets
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams
• Native in Bahasa, Indonesia and fluent in English, both written and verbal

What Success Looks Like

In 6 months: You've developed and launched the core localised content strategy for Indonesia, resulting in a measurable increase in organic search traffic and engagement from the target audience. We see active participation in at least two key local online communities, and you've identified key influencers for future collaborations. The first localized assets (e.g., specific landing pages, blog posts) are consistently outranking competitors for relevant Indonesian keywords.

In 1 year:Ahrefs is a recognised and respected brand within the Indonesian marketing community, driven by your efforts. You've established Ahrefs as a go-to resource for SEO and marketing insights in Indonesia. We've seen a significant increase in MQLs from the region, directly attributable to your localized content and community initiatives. You've identified a clear path for future market expansion and potentially started building out a small, specialised local team.
