About the role

We’re looking for a search strategist who understands that “SEO” isn’t just about rankings anymore. This role sits at the intersection of traditional search, generative search (AI-driven results), and answer engine optimization—owning how brands show up across Google, AI platforms, and emerging discovery channels. You’ll lead content strategy with a performance mindset—building scalable, data-informed programs that drive visibility, traffic, and qualified leads across organic and AI-powered experiences.

    • Develop and execute integrated search strategies across: Traditional SEO (organic rankings, technical optimization); Generative Engine Optimization (visibility in AI-generated responses); Answer Engine Optimization (featured snippets, zero-click results)
    • Identify opportunities to increase brand presence across Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI-driven discovery platforms
    • Monitor and adapt to changes in search behavior, SERP features, and AI interfaces
  • Content Strategy & Development
    • Own the content roadmap aligned to business goals, search demand, and user intent
    • Build topic clusters, entity-driven content, and semantic strategies
    • Partner with writers, designers, and subject matter experts to produce high-quality, authoritative content
    • Optimize existing content for performance across both traditional and AI-driven search environments
  • Performance & Analytics
    • Define KPIs across rankings, traffic, conversions, and AI visibility
    • Analyze performance using tools like GA4, GSC, Ahrefs/Semrush, and emerging AI visibility tools
    • Translate data into actionable insights and ongoing optimization plans
  • Technical & On-Page Optimization
    • Collaborate with development teams to ensure strong technical SEO foundations (site structure, schema, page speed, crawlability)
    • Implement structured data and entity markup to improve machine understanding and AI surfacing
    • Ensure content is optimized for readability, extraction, and summarization by AI systems
  • Cross-Channel Collaboration
    • Work closely with paid media, CRO, and sales teams to align messaging and maximize pipeline impact
    • Support integrated campaigns where organic, paid, and AI visibility work together

Requirements

  • 3–7+ years of experience in SEO, content strategy, or organic growth
  • Strong understanding of: Technical SEO fundamentals; Content strategy and keyword/intent mapping; Evolving search landscape (AI search, zero-click behavior, entity-based search)
  • Experience creating or managing high-performing content programs
  • Familiarity with structured data, schema, and semantic SEO principles
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to tie work to business outcomes
  • Clear communicator who can translate complex search concepts into actionable plans

Qualifications

  • Background in B2B, lead generation, or performance marketing environments
  • Experience with CRO or conversion-focused content
  • Familiarity with APIs, automation, or programmatic SEO approaches
