Position: Senior Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Specialist

We are hiring a Senior SEO Specialist for our client, a fast-growing AI visibility agency helping ecommerce and SaaS brands win the next era of search.

SEO is changing fast. People are no longer only typing keywords into Google. They are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity what to buy, who to trust, and which brands are best.

For strong SEO people, this is the next big shift.

Our client is helping brands move from ranking on search pages to becoming the answer inside AI tools. Think SEO for the AI era, built for how people now ask questions, compare products, and make buying decisions.

The founders are sharp SEO operators who moved early into AI search, LLM visibility, and answer engine optimization. They have worked across Web3, ecommerce, SaaS, and high-growth marketing, with experience tied to major brands like Open Sea, Arc’teryx, LG, Upwork, and Rakuten.

You will work directly with them as they build a new category in marketing.

A Day in This Role

You start the day reviewing a client’s AI search visibility.

Their brand has strong products, solid reviews, and real market demand, but AI tools are not

recommending them yet. You dig into why. Maybe their entity signals are weak. Maybe the wrong sites are shaping the answer. Maybe competitors have stronger authority across the sources LLMs trust.

You map the gap, pull the data, and turn it into a clear plan.

Later, you join a client call to explain what is happening in plain English. You help them understand how search is shifting, what needs to change, and why AI visibility is becoming a core growth channel.

Then you work with the team on entity mapping, prompt research, content opportunities, authority signals, and AI-SERP link acquisition.

You end the day knowing your SEO skills are no longer stuck in the old playbook. You are using them to help shape where search is going next.

What You’ll Do

You will lead SEO and AI visibility strategy for ecommerce and SaaS clients.

You will:

  • Audit websites, search visibility, brand signals, and competitor presence
  • Research how AI tools answer buying-intent prompts in each market
  • Build SEO and AI visibility roadmaps for client accounts
  • Support entity mapping, authority building, content strategy, and link acquisition
  • Explain complex SEO and AI search ideas clearly on client calls
  • Help clients understand what is working, what is missing, and what comes next
  • Work closely with founders and team members to improve delivery systems
  • Stay current as AI search changes fast
You’re Right for This If
  • You have strong SEO experience and want to move into AI search
  • You understand technical SEO, content strategy, backlinks, authority, and search intent
  • You can see that SEO is entering a new era and want to be early
  • You can speak with clients clearly and confidently
  • You can turn messy research into simple next steps
  • You are curious about AI search, LLMs, and the future of discovery
  • Your spoken English is excellent and easy to understand
  • You are organized, detail focused, and comfortable working remotely
This Role Is Not for You If
  • You want to stay only in classic SEO forever
  • You only know basic on-page SEO
  • You need a full playbook for every task
  • You are not comfortable speaking with clients
  • You get overwhelmed by new tools, new ideas, or fast changes

    You do not enjoy research, strategy, and problem solving
Bonus If You Have
  • Experience with ecommerce SEO or SaaS SEO
  • Experience with AI search, AEO, GEO, or LLM visibility
  • Experience selling, presenting, or explaining SEO strategy to clients
  • Experience with Web3, marketplaces, or high-growth startups
  • Strong knowledge of link building and digital PR
Why This Role Is Exciting
  • You will turn your SEO career into an AI search career
  • You will work in one of the fastest-growing areas in marketing
  • You will learn AI search before most SEO teams catch up
  • You will work directly with ambitious founders who understand SEO deeply
  • You will help shape how a new category gets delivered
  • You will work with exciting ecommerce and SaaS brands
  • Your ideas will have real room to grow
Compensation

Competitive pay based on your region plus subscription reimbursements, paid time off, training, and more.

Ready to Build the Future of Search?

If you built your career in SEO and you can feel the market changing, this is your chance to move early into AI search and help brands become the answer.
