  • Lead the blog and SEO content strategy, including editorial planning, content brief creation, and performance measurement.
  • Partner with writers and content teams to produce high-quality articles optimized for both traditional search and AI citation.
  • Identify and champion opportunities to develop proprietary research and data assets - original surveys, industry studies, and statistics hubs - that earn organic links and AI citations.
  • Use Clearscope and Claude AI to develop detailed content briefs that give writers a clear roadmap for search-intent-aligned content.
  • Build and refine prompt-based workflows that increase team output and quality without sacrificing strategic rigor.
  • Link Building & Off-Page SEO

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in SEO, with demonstrated results in organic traffic growth and search performance.
  • Hands-on experience with AI search optimization (AEO/GEO) - or a strong, documented understanding of how AI-generated answers work and a clear track record of adapting quickly to new search paradigms.
  • Experience managing contractors, agencies, or direct reports, with the organizational discipline to keep multiple workstreams on track.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into a clear narrative for non-SEO stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to navigate competing priorities and align stakeholders, keeping SEO/AEO projects moving from brief to live without losing momentum.
