Responsibilities

  • SEO & AEO Strategy Leadership
  • Own and lead AEO and SEO strategy across a portfolio of clients, ensuring alignment with business goals and measurable growth outcomes.
  • Bring advanced expertise in AEO, including entity optimization, semantic search, AI search visibility, and emerging SERP features.
  • Continuously evolve strategies to align with AI-driven search ecosystems (e.g., Google SGE, LLM-powered discovery).
  • Client & Account Ownership
  • Oversee the AEO/SEO side of client engagements, acting as the senior strategic point of contact.
  • Guide account strategy, performance direction, and long-term growth planning.

  • Proven track record of managing client portfolios and delivering measurable SEO growth.
  • Experience in agency or high-growth environments strongly preferred.

Preferred

  • You are a strategic AEO leader who goes beyond execution—you understand how search (and AI-driven discovery) directly impacts revenue, market positioning, and long-term business growth. You’ve operated on both the client and fulfillment sides, and you know how to translate strategy into scalable systems that drive consistent results.
  • You thrive in high-growth environments and bring a forward-thinking perspective on AEO and AI-powered search, with a strong understanding of LLMs and how they are reshaping visibility. You’re not just keeping up with industry changes—you’re helping define what comes next.
