About the role
- The Senior AI Search & SEO Strategist is a key practitioner on Gen's Discoverability and Distribution team, responsible for driving visibility and authority of Gen's consumer brands across organic search, AI-powered discovery surfaces, and the open web.
- This is not a traditional organic optimization position
- this is a role for a hands-on, high-impact expert equally fluent in SEO craft, content strategy, agentic workflows, and the emerging field of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).
Responsibilities
- Partner with technical SEO, web development, UX, and product teams to ensure content strategy and execution align with organic and AI Search best practices.
- Identify and own new brand-visibility and audience-growth projects, earning support from other teams and communicating value and results to leadership.
- Serve as the primary organic and AEO POC for internal and external partners - providing briefs and reviewing deliverables for web development projects, redesigns, system migrations, and other projects to ensure standards are met.
- Manage the organic and acquisition content strategy for Gen's cybersecurity portfolio.
- Develop detailed content briefs that guide editorial and web teams to create best-in-class landing pages.
- Work with enterprise and custom analytics tools to track and analyze web performance and LLM visibility, using data to drive optimization decisions and translate findings into editorial and digital PR activation plans.
- You'll bring craft, curiosity, conscientiousness, speed, and rigor, raising the bar for how our team helps our brands communicate core values, meet audiences, and build consumer trust.
- We're always looking for smart, fearless, high-impact talent who see AI as a teammate, leveraging it to move faster and deliver meaningful results.
Requirements
- Deep proficiency with SEO tooling: Semrush, Ahrefs, Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, and/or equivalent platforms.
- Success depends on both understanding how LLMs synthesize and surface information and being able to create and communicate strategy effectively to build the strong cross-functional relationships required to execute.
Nice to have
- 5+ years of hands-on SEO (and AEO) experience with a strong focus on content strategy, editorial optimization, and organic performance - ideally in a tech or YMYL vertical.
- Proven track record of driving measurable organic and AI search improvements through content strategy and optimization.
- Strong analytical skills, comfortable with performance data, and able to translate insights into prioritized action plans.
- Familiarity with AEO, entity SEO, and experience optimizing content for AI-powered search surfaces.
- Proficiency with Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Amplitude, or other analytics platforms.
- Ad hoc dashboard creation in Looker Studio, Power BI, or a similar tool a plus.
- Growing fluency with (or eagerness to master) emerging enterprise LLM monitoring tools like Profound.
- Experience applying E-E-A-T and YMYL content quality standards, preferably in a rigorous editorial environment.
Compensation
- The annual base salary for this position is $165,000 USD.
- This role is also eligible for an annual performance-based bonus.
- Base salary is one component of Gen's total compensation package.
- Actual compensation will vary based on a candidate's qualifications, experience, skills and competencies related to the role.
- Sustainable home improvement allowance: Up to $500 per year for approved sustainable home upgrades.
Benefits
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match: Gen matches 50% of the first 7% of eligible pay you contribute, capped at $6,000 per year in company match.
- Health Savings Account (HSA) funding: If you enroll in an HSA-eligible medical plan, Gen contributes $500-$1,500 per year depending on your coverage tier.
- Wellness and fitness reimbursement: Up to $375 per year for eligible fitness and wellness expenses.
- Tuition and education reimbursement: Up to $5,250 per calendar year for approved, job-related education.
- Together, we share a collective passion and vision to protect consumers and help them grow, manage, and secure their digital and financial lives.
- When you're part of Gen, you'll have the flexibility, tools, and support to do your best work and grow your career, from flexible working options and time off to competitive pay, benefits, and well-being programs.
