• Experience leading content-first SEO strategies, working with editorial teams and agencies to produce high-performing pages at scale.
• Fluency with analytics tools (GA4, Looker, Search Console, etc.) and A/B testing frameworks to turn insights into action and impact.
• Strong communication and leadership skills — you can rally cross-functional teams and drive alignment around SEO priorities.
• Familiarity with AI-powered search and a forward-looking mindset about the evolution of organic discovery.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve our SEO strategy and roadmap, balancing short-term optimizations with long-term organic growth bets.
• Conduct deep SEO audits and translate insights into action, guiding the technical and content teams to improve performance.

• Lead execution of high-impact SEO initiatives — from technical improvements to editorial content development and AI-enhanced strategies.
• Develop and maintain SEO governance and scalable playbooks, ensuring consistency across teams, partners, and platforms.
• Monitor organic traffic, keyword trends, and competitor strategies to identify growth opportunities and drive data-informed experimentation.
• Define KPIs and reporting structures to track SEO and AEO impact on acquisition, rankings, and revenue.
