Join to apply for the Senior SEO Lead role at Hey Gen

At Hey Gen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale.

• 5+ years of SEO experience with in‑house leadership experience in high‑growth B2B, B2C or SaaS environments.
