Job Description

Responsibilities

  • own the search and AI visibility side of our Core SEO & AI Program — the engine behind how our clients get found across Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other emerging platforms.
  • Day to day, that means conducting SEO audits, executing keyword and entity research, implementing on-page optimizations, and building out link strategies that support both domain authority and AI discoverability.

  • Ability to conduct thorough SEO audits and translate findings into prioritized, actionable recommendations
  • Experience with link-building strategies — particularly approaches that intersect with earned media and digital PR
  • Comfortable in web analytics platforms (GA4, Search Console, and similar) and able to track performance against meaningful KPIs like rankings, AI inclusion rates, backlink acquisition, and share of voice
  • Solid grasp of on-page SEO: metadata, content structure, internal linking, and technical fundamentals
  • Hands-on experience with AI tools and a genuine interest in how generative AI platforms surface and evaluate brand authority
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills; you can connect data to strategy without getting lost in either
  • B2B experience is a real plus, especially in technology, manufacturing, or logistics
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Data Analytics, or a related field

Preferred
