Job Description
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end organic discovery strategy: technical SEO, on-page optimization, local SEO for our center locations, and content strategy in partnership with the content team.
- Lead our answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) strategy so Cortica is accurately represented and recommended in AI assistants and AI-powered search (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews).
- Manage structured data, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, and indexation health.
- Own strategy, budget, and performance across paid search, paid social, and display/video (Google Ads, Meta, etc.), executing directly or through agency partners.
- Build full-funnel campaigns tuned to how families research care decisions; manage CPA/LTV targets.
- Ensure compliant targeting and measurement appropriate to healthcare advertising (e.g., platform health policies, HIPAA-aware tracking).
- Own corticacare.com and related digital properties end-to-end: roadmap, UX, performance, conversion paths, and content publishing.
- Make hands-on updates and improvements directly — page builds, template changes, landing pages, forms, tracking — using HTML/CSS/JavaScript and our CMS.
- Run a continuous CRO/testing program (A/B tests, landing page iteration, form optimization).
- Manage web development agency/contractor relationships for larger projects.
Requirements
- 8+ years of progressive digital marketing experience, including ownership of SEO and paid media programs with meaningful budgets.
- Demonstrated expertise in modern search: technical SEO plus working strategies for AEO/GEO and AI-driven discovery.
- Hands-on coding ability: comfortable editing and shipping HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and deep proficiency in at least one modern CMS; able to implement tracking, schema, and page changes without waiting on developers.
- Demonstrable experience using AI coding agents (Claude Code or Codex) to build, update, and maintain web properties and marketing automations.
- Demonstrable experience with OneTrust for privacy controls, cookie consent management, and related compliance workflows.
- Working knowledge of HIPAA, CCPA/CPRA, and state privacy/security regulations as they apply to digital marketing, advertising, and analytics.
- Expert-level fluency with Google Ads, Meta Ads, GA4, GTM, and Search Console; experience with CRM/marketing automation platforms.
- Strong CRO instincts and experience running structured testing programs.
- 3+ years of experience managing agencies and vendors to clear performance standards.
