SEO & SEM manager Valencia

Shakers presents a fast-growing, internationally expanding startup vibe with a hybrid, flexible work model in Valencia, offering a clearly communicated career development plan and a salary range of 38,000–51,750 EUR with up to 6,750 EUR quarterly bonus. (linkedin.com)

Public sentiment on Shakers Spain is broadly positive (4.6/5 and 82% would recommend), with high ratings for diversity & inclusion (4.8), career opportunities (4.7), and culture & values (4.5), though the available public review sample is small. (glassdoor.com)

A notable criticism from accessible reviews cites the early-stage startup environment as potentially uncertain, and compensation & benefits receive a 4.1 rating, suggesting room for improvement in rewards. (glassdoor.com)

Representative confidence is limited by the small public sample size (a single detailed Glassdoor review is visible on this page, with Glassdoor noting more reviews exist), so these sentiments should be treated as indicative rather than definitive for Valencia-based roles. (glassdoor.com)
