Technical SEO & AI Growth Specialist

Peaksware•Louisville, CO

13h•Hybrid

About The Position

We are looking for a hybrid SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) expert to help TrainingPeaks show up - and stand out - wherever athletes are searching for answers. That increasingly means not just ranking in traditional search, but being the source that AI assistants, voice search, and answer engines surface when someone asks "how do I build a marathon training plan" or "what's the best way to track cycling power." You'll sit at the intersection of technical optimization, content discoverability, and data analysis. You'll own our visibility across both traditional and AI-driven search surfaces, translating insights into action and reporting on what's working. Your success will be measured by our ability to capture "Share of Model" and convert organic technical excellence into measurable revenue. Unlike traditional SEO roles that sit in a corner writing blogs, you will have the data resources and the mandate to experiment with the future of AI-driven acquisition for TrainingPeaks.com.

Requirements

3–5 years of hands-on SEO experience, with demonstrated knowledge of technical SEO fundamentals
Emerging expertise or genuine curiosity in AEO — you've been paying attention to how AI systems surface content and you have a point of view on it
Proficiency with core SEO tools (Google Search Console, Semrush or Ahrefs, Screaming Frog or similar)
Strong analytical skills — comfortable building reports in GA4, Looker Studio, or comparable BI tools
Solid understanding of HTML, structured data / JSON-LD, and how search engines crawl and render pages
Clear communicator who can translate technical findings into business impact for non-technical stakeholders
Self-directed with strong organizational skills — you manage your own priorities and proactively flag issues

Nice To Haves

Experience in a SaaS, health tech, or sports/fitness context
Familiarity with Python or SQL for data analysis
You're an endurance athlete yourself with experience using TrainingPeaks

Responsibilities

Develop and execute strategies to improve TrainingPeaks' presence in AI-generated answers, featured snippets, and knowledge panels across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and emerging platforms
Audit and optimize structured data (schema.org markup) to make our content more machine-readable and citation-worthy
Research how AI systems surface training and endurance content, and identify gaps where TrainingPeaks should be the authoritative source
Partner with content and product teams to shape content for answer-engine discoverability — entity clarity, factual depth, and semantic structure
Conduct regular technical audits covering crawlability, indexation, site architecture, and internal linking
Monitor and improve Core Web Vitals and page experience signals in collaboration with engineering
Manage XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical tags, hreflang, and redirect strategies
Stay current on search algorithm updates and assess their impact on TrainingPeaks properties
Own SEO/AEO performance reporting — building dashboards and delivering regular insights to marketing leadership and stakeholders
Define and track KPIs across organic search, AI citation share, and answer-engine visibility
Use tools like Google Search Console, GA4, Semrush/Ahrefs, and Looker Studio to surface actionable data
Run A/B and multivariate tests to evaluate optimization hypotheses and report on outcomes
Partner with content, growth, and engineering teams to ensure SEO/AEO best practices are embedded in site builds, feature launches, and editorial workflows
Contribute to a culture of search literacy across the marketing org — sharing learnings, writing playbooks, and mentoring teammates
