Join the Team Powering the World's Best Endurance Athletes

At Training Peaks, we believe that behind every great athlete is a great coach and the right technology to help them reach their potential. Our platform is trusted by Tour de France winners, Olympic gold medalists, and everyday endurance athletes to plan, track, and analyze their training. Whether you're a performance-driven athlete, a passionate coach, or someone who simply thrives on building tools that empower others, Training Peaks is where ambition meets impact.

As part of the Peaksware portfolio, consisting of brands like Training Peaks, Make Music, Alfred Music, Train Heroic, we’re united by a shared mission: to create software that transforms deliberate practice into performance. At Peaksware, we don’t just build products. We build communities of motivated people chasing progress, including athletes, musicians, performers, and the teams that support them.

We are looking for a hybrid SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) expert to help Training Peaks 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
