Job Description

Responsibilities

  • architect the vision, multi-year roadmap, and bottom-line revenue impact across organic search, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) as a cohesive growth engine.
  • steer full-funnel organic strategy—driving site architecture innovation, enterprise-grade structured data, and dominant share-of-voice in zero-click environments.
  • oversee an always-on CRO framework, systematically refining high-intent conversion pathways to maximize patient acquisition and downstream clinical outcomes.
  • act as a peer and strategic co-owner alongside Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) leaders to identify technical investments that improve discoverability, site performance, and conversion.
  • orchestrate alignment across PR, Lifecycle, Clinical, and Compliance teams—ensuring all growth mechanisms are technically robust, clinically authoritative, and fully compliant with HIPAA, WCAG, and healthcare regulatory standards.
  • build, mentor, and scale a high-performing organic growth organization alongside an elite agency network, recruiting, developing, and retaining exceptional talent while fostering a culture of experimentation, accountability, and continuous learning.
  • hold direct P&L accountability for growth forecasting, capital allocation, and ROI—rigorously tracking metrics from AI answer-engine market share down to CAC, LTV, and net revenue contribution.
  • distill complex performance data into compelling executive narratives that shape C-suite decision-making and influence company-wide investments in content, product, and brand

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in organic search/SEO, with progressively senior ownership of strategy and measurable business outcomes; meaningful, hands-on experience in the discipline before moving into leadership
  • 5+ years of people leadership experience, including building, developing, and growing a team
  • 8+ years of deep, experimentation-grounded expertise in technical SEO and AI-native discovery across search engines, AI Overviews, answer engines, and LLM ecosystems (AEO), combined with proven proficiency owning or partnering on CRO programs that drive measurable conversion and revenue growth
  • Comfort operating in a rapidly evolving landscape where best practices are still emerging, creating new frameworks for measuring and growing AI-driven discovery.
  • Experience leveraging automation, AI, and programmatic approaches to scale content creation, optimization, and experimentation while maintaining quality.
  • Experience building and scaling a GTM strategy around organic channels, including making the business case for investment and defending it with data
  • Strong technical fluency in site architecture, structured data, and Core Web Vitals to build credible, peer-level partnerships with Engineering and Product—shaping shared roadmaps together and driving growth priorities into collective planning without needing to write code yourself
  • Experience evaluating and selecting SEO, AEO, or CRO tooling and vendors at scale

Preferred

  • Experience building an AEO measurement approach or strategy from the ground up, given how new and undefined this space still is
  • Familiarity with modern web technologies and search infrastructure, including JavaScript rendering, CMS architectures, APIs, schema markup, server-side rendering, edge rendering, and content delivery strategies.
  • A visible point of view in the SEO/AEO/CRO space — through speaking, writing, or industry community involvement
  • Category experience in high-consideration or emotionally sensitive purchase category and/or healthcare, digital health
