Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Grow our presence across AI search surfaces (ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews) as a first-class channel
  • Build an off-page strategy that closes our AI visibility gap and grows organic traffic
  • Oversee our full website redesign: new site structure, tool pages, and landing pages, working with our designer and developer to ship it
  • Scale our programmatic and tool-page strategy: hundreds of pages built, ranked, and converting on high-intent keywords
  • Own technical SEO, internal linking, content quality, and topical authority
  • Stand up and scale Meta ads: creative strategy, influencer collaborations, budget, and clean conversion tracking
  • Run targeted paid search and retargeting across Google, Meta, and display
  • Run our newsletter and keep the list clean and healthy
  • Build an organic content program for team members who opt in, writing and scheduling on their behalf
  • Test new channels (affiliate, creator partnerships, communities, events, co-marketing) and scale the winners

Requirements

  • SEO/GEO is your superpower. Non-negotiable. You've built tool pages, owned technical SEO, and ranked content that converts
  • You've run Meta ads that worked. Strong second skill. Real budgets, creative and influencer campaigns, clean tracking
  • You've touched the other channels too. Newsletters, paid search, retargeting, organic social, partnerships. You know which lever to pull when
  • Operator, not just a strategist. You've shipped landing pages, set up GA4 and attribution, and run experiments end-to-end
  • Track record of scaling B2B SaaS. You've helped take a company from 7-figures ARR to $10M+ ARR
  • AI-native. You use Claude to compress your work and have a real point of view on how AI search is changing software discovery
  • Commercially minded. You think in pipeline, CAC, payback, and ARR, not just traffic and rankings
  • Comfortable with ambiguity. First growth hire. You'll build the playbook, the team, and the systems

Preferred

  • Scaling programmatic SEO at a SaaS company
  • A strong Meta ads portfolio with proven ROAS, ideally with influencer and creator ads
  • Hands-on digital PR, link building, or AI search optimization (in-house, agency, or as a Respona-style customer)
  • Standing up an affiliate or partner program from zero

Benefits

  • Profitable, founder-led, and growing. No growth-at-all-costs
  • First growth hire with a real seat at the table and a path to building a team
  • A product customers love, in a category that's only getting bigger as AI reshapes search
  • Remote-first with competitive comp
