Your adventure starts here
When people ask what it’s like to work at SEO Sherpa, you’ll regularly hear these things mentioned:
You are hired to tell us what to do, not the other way around.
We trust exceptional people to do exceptional things. At SEO Sherpa, you have complete ownership of work that directly impacts our business. When you get hired, you’ll get a goal to own, and we’ll get out of your way.
No rules, rules!
We believe that only sloppy, poor performers need control. That’s why we’ve created an environment full of freedom and responsibility, devoid of dogma and unnecessary policies.
We’re a team, not a family.
A high-intensity work environment is not a family. It’s a professional team. Precisely like an elite group of mountain Sherpas, at SEO Sherpa, we hire and develop, and occasionally cut smartly to ensure we have high performers in every position.
There’s no inner circle.
At SEO Sherpa, the default is open. Everyone from the leadership team to a day-one Sherpa has access to all our business information. Being radically transparent helps us think critically, work autonomously, and accomplish more things.
Sherpas are treated like people, not like employees.
Our teammates are complete people with families, pastimes, and relationships outside of work. We promote remote working, keep non-traditional hours, and use unlimited PTO to ensure work-life synergy.
Who we aspire to be
We’re building a culture where personal and professional growth is just as important as business growth. That’s why we created the SEO Sherpa Culture Deck. It shares our purpose, mission, and core values. Give it a read, and make sure our values are your values too.
What our employees are saying

“Employees shape their day, plan out their career path and advocate for their own mission. We have a high trust culture and are part of an organization where women shine as leaders.”
“Flexible hours, hardworking and kind teammates, fun social online gatherings, and thoughtful check-ins on how everyone is doing. These make up a great work experience.”
“Best people I’ve worked with – everyone is open, collaborative, and experts in their own field. Senior management is always open to suggestions and encourages new ideas for innovation.”
