General Manager of SEO/GEO

About Us

How You'll Contribute

• Own SEO and GEO end-to-end: You will own organic search traffic and AI-citation traffic, from keyword architecture and crawl health through to citation optimization for large language models. Every layer of this function falls within your purview.
• Deliver consistent, measurable results: Each initiative you lead will be defined by a clear baseline, a stated goal, and a documented outcome. Reporting is precise and quantitative.
• Drive rigorous experimentation: You will design and execute tests that resolve meaningful questions with speed and discipline, deploying AI tooling and technical ingenuity to identify competitive advantages.
• Lead and develop a focused team: You will direct a team of 3-4 engineers and design support, setting strategic direction, removing obstacles, authoring PRDs, and elevating team performance through clarity, urgency, and high standards.

• You bring 5+ years of hands-on SEO experience, ideally gained within highly competitive industries
• You possess a deep, technical understanding of SEO architecture, how data moves through crawling, indexing, and ranking systems, and you have a demonstrated ability to identify where leverage lies within that architecture.
• You have a working command of GEO architecture: how a large language model translates a user prompt into search queries, evaluates and selects SERP results, determines which sources to cite, and how this behavior differs across model families.
• You are a driver, not a passenger. You advance projects with urgency and ownership -- directing the team, authoring specifications, structuring experiments, and holding the bar without waiting to be asked.
• You are a relentless learner. You have proactively integrated AI tools into your practice because the alternative was not acceptable to you. You hold well-reasoned, empirically grounded views on what works.
• You communicate with precision: quantitative and qualitative reasoning together, always. You distinguish between a meaningful metric and a vanity statistic.
• You operate as a player-coach. You are as comfortable conducting a technical SEO audit as you are leading a strategic planning session, and you do not draw a rigid line between analysis and leadership.
