Drive SEO-focused content for procurement/finance in a senior enterprise context, delivering topic-cluster articles, updates, and AI-friendly structure.

  • Standout: Collaboration with SEO/AEO Manager and SMEs to ensure depth and accuracy.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Write and optimize blog posts, pillar pages, landing pages, and web copy targeting high-value keyword clusters in the procurement and finance space
  • Structure articles using an "answer-first" framework: lead with a direct, specific answer to the reader's question, then layer in context and depth, optimizing for AI Overviews and answer engines, not just traditional SERPs
  • Build out topic clusters that comprehensively address the sub-questions a user might have around a given theme, rather than mechanically targeting individual keywords
  • Refresh and update existing content to improve rankings, incorporate new messaging (e.g., agentic AI, procurement orchestration), and align with current search intent
  • Write compelling meta titles, H1s, and descriptions that earn clicks, short-form copy matters here as much as long-form
  • Collaborate with Zip’s SEO/AEO Manager on content briefs, keyword research inputs, and editorial calendars
  • Work with subject matter experts across product marketing, research, and our advisory team to ensure technical accuracy and depth

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience writing SEO content in B2B SaaS, fintech, or enterprise software with ranking results you can point to
  • A portfolio that demonstrates entity-based, topic-cluster thinking, not just "I wrote a blog post targeting [keyword]"
  • Strong understanding of how LLMs and answer engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews) retrieve and cite information, and a proven ability to write content that is both human-readable and structured for AI crawlability
  • You default to covering the full scope of a user's intent rather than obsessing over keyword density if someone hands you 50 keywords, you know you don't need to use all 50
  • Ability to write in a clear, authoritative, non-generic voice. We're not looking for content that reads like it was written by a prompt. Zip's content is direct, a little opinionated, and never boring
  • Comfort writing about complex topics (procurement workflows, AP automation, spend management, AI agents) for a senior enterprise audience without dumbing things down or losing clarity
  • Experience with SEO tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, Clearscope, or similar
  • Familiarity with CMS publishing workflows (we use Webflow)
  • Experience with AI writing tools as part of a production workflow

Preferred

  • Experience writing content specifically optimized for AI answer engines or featured snippets
  • Background in procurement, finance, or supply chain content
  • Understanding of schema markup or structured data as it relates to content
  • Experience using AI writing tools as part of a production workflow
