Wärtsilä is a global leader in innovative technologies and lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets, with a strong commitment to enabling sustainable societies through decarbonization and efficiency. Their focus on cutting-edge digital marketing and technology makes them an exciting place for those passionate about using digital platforms to drive environmental impact.

About This Role

This role is pivotal in shaping Wärtsilä's digital presence by leading the strategic direction of their website and driving search capabilities (SEO, GEO, AEO) to enhance discoverability. You'll own analytics and performance reporting, and manage the Salesforce-related tech stack, directly influencing how the company engages with customers and advances its sustainability mission.

You'd then collaborate with content teams to optimize pages for AEO, meet with IT to discuss Salesforce integration updates, and lead a strategy session on improving organic search rankings for key sustainability topics. Afternoons could involve analyzing competitor digital strategies and preparing a report for stakeholders on website engagement metrics.

  • Hands-on experience with Salesforce Marketing Cloud (or similar CRM) and a strong grasp of web technologies (CMS, analytics tools, APIs) to lead tech stack decisions.
  • Data-driven and analytical, with a track record of using web analytics (Google Analytics, Search Console) to generate insights and drive continuous improvement.
