Required
10+ years in SEO with global scope, with hands-on AEO experience, at least 3 years leading a team, and experience working with executives. You’ve done this at a company where search is a real growth channel.
Technically deep. You understand how crawlers, rendering, and site architecture affect visibility, and how LLMs interpret and weight content differently from traditional search engines. You can debug with Engineering, not just brief them.
Curious about AI, bordering on obsessed. You use it every day, build with it, test new tools as they launch, and have a point of view on where search is going.
An analytical thinker who designs thoughtful experiments, reads the results honestly, and knows when to move fast and when to wait for the data.
Experienced across multiple discovery surfaces, such as app store listings, marketplaces, video, and communities, not only the website.
A builder with hands-on experience in AI agents and automation tools and an instinct for turning them into repeatable systems. You set your own priorities, know what to scale and what to cut, and ship.
Someone who builds teams people want to be on.
