  • Partner with analytics to ensure data accuracy, integrity, and scalability of measurement and translate data into actionable insights

  • Establish measurement frameworks for SEO and AEO, including emerging AI visibility metrics and deliver regular reporting on performance

  • Drive a test-and-learn culture, implementing experimentation frameworks to validate and scale new SEO and AEO tactics

What You Will Need:

  • 10+ years of SEO experience, with ownership of strategy, execution, and performance in enterprise environments

  • Proven success driving measurable organic growth tied to business outcomes (e.g., traffic, conversion, pipeline, revenue)

  • Deep expertise in technical SEO, search algorithms, and modern SERP and AI-driven search features

  • Experience with AEO/GEO concepts, including optimizing for AI-generated answers, conversational search, and entity-based discovery

  • Advanced analytical capabilities, with experience building measurement frameworks and delivering executive-level insights

  • Proficiency with SEO and analytics platforms (e.g., BrightEdge, Ahrefs, STAT, Google Search Console, GA4)

  • Familiarity with HTML/CSS and technical SEO fundamentals, including site architecture and structured data

  • Strong leadership, communication, and influencing skills, with the ability to drive alignment across senior stakeholders
