Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated, "go-getter" Associate Director of SEO & GEO to join our leadership team. This is a pivotal role for a specialist who isn't just content with traditional rankings, but is obsessed with the evolution of search into GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). You will be responsible for bridging the gap between classic technical SEO and the new era of LLM-driven discovery, ensuring our clients dominate both Google Search and AI answer engines.

The ideal candidate is a true leader who loves the "front of the house"—talking to clients and delivering high-energy presentations—but also loves "getting their hands dirty" in the data and technical architecture. You should be someone who obsesses over ranking factors and stays at the bleeding edge of industry news.

Key Responsibilities
  • Strategic Leadership: Act as the primary architect for SEO and GEO strategy across a diverse portfolio. You will take ownership of organic growth and visibility within AI engines and search engines for all clients (Perplexity, SGE, ChatGPT, etc.).
  • Enterprise-Level Execution: Oversee and execute complex strategies for large-scale websites, including high-volume E-commerce and Lead Gen accounts.
  • GEO Innovation: Apply a deep understanding of how LLMs and search engines work to optimize content for generative visibility. You’ll be responsible for testing and implementing GEO-specific tactics at scale.
  • Client Interfacing & Sales Support: Lead high-level client meetings and strategy decks with confidence. You will also partner with our sales team to provide technical audits and strategic insights that help close new business.
  • Hands-on Optimization: While this is a senior role, you aren’t afraid to dive into technical audits, schema implementation, or granular data analysis on the daily.
Qualifications
  • Experience: 3+ years of hands-on agency experience specifically managing SEO for large websites, E-commerce, and Lead Gen clients.
  • Search Foundations: Expert knowledge of technical SEO, site architecture, and semantic search.
  • GEO Literacy: A deep, documented understanding of Generative Engine Optimization and the mechanics of Large Language Models.
  • Analytical Rigor: Exceptional quantitative skills; you use data to tell a story and prove ROI.
  • Dynamic Presenter: You love being on camera/in-person, presenting complex strategies in a way that gets clients excited.
  • Highly Motivated: You are a self-starter who looks for problems to solve before they are assigned to you.
  • Tech Stack: Mastery of Ahrefs/SEMRush, Google Search Console, GA4, and Screaming Frog.
Bonus Points (Nice to Haves)
  • Enterprise SEO: Proven experience managing sites with 100k+ indexed pages or complex international structures.
  • AI Tooling: Experience building or using AI agents and automated workflows to streamline SEO auditing or content deployment (especially Claude).
  • Industry Voice: You actively contribute to the SEO community via blogs, Twitter, or LinkedIn.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary ($80k–$100k) and benefits package.
  • A fully remote, flexible work environment.
  • A leadership path in a growing agency that stays ahead of tech shifts.
  • A collaborative culture that values results, innovation, and "getting it done."

To Apply: Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter.
