ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a newly created role to support our growing SEO team.

As AI reshapes how users discover information, our SEO team is building a dedicated Generative Engine Optimisation practice to ensure our clients stay visible and cited in AI-powered search experiences - across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and beyond.

The GEO Manager will lead NPD's Generative Engine Optimisation capability within the SEO team. This is a high-impact, forward-looking role focused on making our clients' content discoverable, cited, and trusted by large language models and AI answer engines. You will own GEO strategy across a portfolio of clients, working closely with SEO, content, and tech teams to drive measurable AI search visibility.

ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and execute GEO strategies to improve client visibility in AI-generated answers across LLM platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, etc.
• Conduct GEO audits to assess how clients' content is (or isn't) cited by generative AI platforms.
• Build entity authority and structured information frameworks that improve LLM citation probability.
• Align GEO efforts with traditional SEO to deliver integrated, future-proof strategies.
• Develop prompt-aligned content frameworks - ensuring content directly answers the questions LLMs are likely to surface.

Measurement & Reporting

• Define and track GEO-specific KPIs, including AI citation frequency, share-of-voice in AI answers, and brand mention quality.
• Build and maintain client-facing GEO monitoring dashboards (leveraging tools such as AI Overviews trackers, Perplexity monitoring, and brand mention tools).
• Present GEO performance insights and recommendations to clients and internal stakeholders.

Thought Leadership & Innovation

• Stay ahead of developments in generative AI, LLM search behaviour, and the evolving GEO landscape.
• Contribute to NPD's internal GEO playbooks, frameworks, and training resources.
• Represent NPD's GEO expertise in client conversations, proposals, and pitches.

ABOUT YOU

• 3 - 6 years of experience in SEO, with at least 1 year focused on GEO, AEO, or LLM optimisation.
• Strong understanding of how large language models retrieve, rank, and cite information.
• Hands-on experience with SEO tools: Google Search Console, Semrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog.
• Familiarity with AI search monitoring tools and citation tracking approaches.
• Proven ability to build and execute content strategies grounded in topical authority and E-E-A-T.
• Experience working in a client-facing agency environment is strongly preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication - able to translate complex AI concepts for client audiences.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to derive actionable insights from data.
• Self-starter with the ability to operate in an emerging, fast-evolving discipline.
• Collaborative team player comfortable working across SEO, content, and tech functions.

TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE

• Solid working knowledge of HTML, structured data (Schema.org), knowledge panels, and entity SEO.
• Understanding of technical SEO fundamentals: crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering concepts and how generative AI models process queries.
• Experience with programmatic SEO or large-scale content operations.
• Knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and how it influences AI-driven answers.
• Strong understanding of GA4, Looker Studio, or custom reporting dashboards.

Have Fun

“Have Fun” means we enjoy working together and cultivating a great work experience for everyone. Our passion for what we do is visible throughout the organization. Anything we enjoy, we are naturally going to do better, so we make our work something we look forward to, rather than something we have to do.
