Grapevine Media is a Canadian digital marketing agency focused on building high-performing marketing campaigns for our clients. Our work is productized, process-driven, and built to scale. We focus mainly on website design, SEO, blog content, paid advertising and other lead generation techniques.
We are strong on sales, strategy, and client acquisition, and we are now at the stage where we want to grow our operations team in a smart, sustainable way.
This role is designed for someone who wants more than just a job. It is for someone who wants a clear growth path, increasing responsibility, and the opportunity to grow into a leadership or partnership role over time.
Job Description
This is a hybrid role that combines hands-on technical work with project management responsibilities.
In the early stage, approximately 80 percent of your time will be spent on technical execution, primarily:
WordPress website builds using Divi
SEO implementation and optimization
The remaining 20 percent of your time will focus on project coordination and client management.
As Grapevine Media grows and the client base expands, this role is intentionally designed to shift gradually toward full-time project management, with less hands-on technical work over time. We will help you build your team below you, enabling you to manage a small team of designers and developers as our client base grows.
Eventually, for the right candidate, this role may evolve into:
Project Manager
Business Manager
Junior Partner with profit sharing or equity opportunities
What You Will Do
Website Design & Development
You will play a hands-on role in building and maintaining WordPress websites, with a strong focus on Divi. This is a core part of the role, especially in the early stages.
Your responsibilities will include:
Building WordPress websites using Divi based on defined scopes and layouts
Customizing layouts, styles, and content to match brand guidelines
Implementing responsive design and ensuring websites look great on all devices
Making ongoing updates, improvements, and refinements to existing client sites
Collaborating with internal documentation and SOPs to deliver consistent results
Identifying opportunities to improve UX, performance, and clarity for end users
This role requires someone who is comfortable working inside WordPress day-to-day and can confidently execute website tasks without heavy oversight.
SEO
SEO is one of Grapevine Media's core services. You do not need to be an expert in every aspect of SEO on day one, but you must either have a strong foundation or a strong desire to learn and grow in this area.
Your responsibilities may include:
Keyword research using SEMrush and related tools
On-page SEO implementation across websites and blog content
Technical SEO basics such as site structure, indexing, and page optimization
Supporting directory submissions, citations, and foundational off-page SEO tasks
Reviewing SEO performance and implementing recommendations
Following and improving SEO workflows and checklists
We have clear processes and training in place. The most important trait here is curiosity, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in how search engines work.
Project Management & Client Experience
As part of this hybrid role, you will also support and gradually take ownership of project management responsibilities. The primary goal is to ensure clients feel supported, informed, and confident in the progress of their projects.
Your responsibilities will include:
Acting as a point of coordination between clients and the internal team
Ensuring project timelines, tasks, and deliverables are clearly tracked
Proactively communicating progress and next steps to clients
Advocating for the client's goals and expectations internally
Helping clients understand timelines, dependencies, and any changes in scope
Ensuring work is delivered to a high standard and aligns with agreed plans
Over time, this area of the role will grow in importance as you transition from hands-on execution into more leadership and coordination.
How This Role Evolves
This role is intentionally designed to evolve as Grapevine Media grows.
In the early stage, your focus will be primarily hands-on. You will spend most of your time working directly on website builds and SEO execution, while gradually taking on project coordination responsibilities. This ensures you have consistent, meaningful work while the agency continues to scale.
As our client base grows:
You will spend less time executing technical tasks
You will spend more time managing timelines, deliverables, and client communication
We will help you build a team below you, allowing to begin overseeing other technicians and contractors as you hand over your work to them
You will help improve systems, workflows, and internal processes as you see fit
For candidates who demonstrate strong ownership, leadership, and strategic thinking, there is a clear long-term path toward a Project Manager, Business Manager, or Junior Partner role. This may include profit sharing or equity discussions for the right person.
This is not a static role. It is designed for someone who wants to grow alongside the business.
Why Work With Grapevine Media
We focus on doing fewer things well, with strong systems, clear expectations, and room for continuous improvement.
Here's what makes working with Grapevine Media different:
Real growth opportunities
This role is designed to grow into leadership, not stay stuck in execution forever. If you're a skilled technician wanting to build a team, this is for you.
- Remote-first and flexible We work with talented people in Canada, the Philippines, and beyond, focusing on outcomes over hours. Work when you want, where you want.
- Family Owner Business We are a small, family-owned business, not a stuffy corporate office. We care deeply about our employees and our clients, and that really shows.
Client-first mindset
We care deeply about our clients' outcomes and communication, and we expect the same from our team.
Long-term thinking
We are building a sustainable agency, not a short-term hustle. The right people grow with us.
If you are looking for a role where your work matters, your skills grow, and your responsibilities expand over time, this role was designed with you in mind.
