About The Position

At Tilt (formerly Empower), we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond outdated credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. Named among the next billion-dollar startups, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward. The opportunity: Head of AEO/SEO Search is shifting fast — and we’re looking for someone who’s already building for what’s next. As our Head of AEO/SEO, you’ll shape how Tilt shows up in the places people actually search today: AI engines, conversational interfaces, and evolving SERPs. This work sits at the center of how future customers discover, understand, and trust Tilt.

Requirements

• 5–7 years of proven, measurable SEO leadership across technical, content, and authority pillars.
• Hands-on AEO experience in the last 12–18 months — you understand how AI systems surface answers and how to influence those surfaces.
• A builder’s mindset: you move through ambiguity with ownership, grit, and clarity.
• Strong problem-solving instincts — able to decode complex search behavior and turn insight into repeatable playbooks.
• Deep analytical fluency across visibility, ranking, and conversion tools to define and optimize KPIs.
• Exceptional communication skills, translating complexity into crisp direction for partners across marketing, engineering, and copy.

Responsibilities

• Lead the full AEO strategy — defining how Tilt earns visibility and credibility across AI chatbots and answer engines.
• Own our SEO roadmap end to end, ensuring we win the SERPs of today while positioning Tilt to lead the next decade of search.
• Guide the creation and optimization of high-performing content and information architecture, primed for both AI-driven and traditional search.
• Partner with Affiliate Marketing, Brand, and cross-functional teams to secure earned and paid placements that amplify visibility and reinforce trust.
• Build rigorous measurement frameworks that turn insight into action and help us prioritize with clarity.
• Move with speed — testing, learning, and developing automation, data pipelines, and martech to power search campaigns at scale.
• Share progress and perspective with senior leadership, offering sharp insights and forward-looking strategies that help Tilt stay ahead.

Benefits

• Virtual-first teamwork: The Tilt team is collaborating across 14 countries, 12 time zones, and counting. You’ll get started with a WFH office reimbursement.
• Competitive pay: We're big on potential, and it's reflected in our competitive compensation packages and generous equity.
• Complete support: Find flexible health plans at every premium level, and substantial subsidies that stand up to global standards.
• Visibility is yours: You can count on direct exposure to our leadership team — we’re a team where good ideas travel quickly.
• Paid global onsites: Magic happens IRL: we gather twice yearly to reconnect over shared meals or kayaking adventures. (We’ve visited Vail, San Diego, and Mexico City, to name a few.)
• Impact is recognized: Growth opportunities follow your contributions, not rigid promotion timelines.
