Senior Manager, Organic Growth & AI Search
We’re looking for an experienced, hands‑on organic growth professional who thinks beyond traditional SEO. This role brings together SEO, product‑led growth, AI/LLM search, data, automation and experimentation to drive qualified traffic, conversions and revenue.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can identify opportunities, build a case using data, experiment, execute and scale what works.
Primary Responsibilities (Including but not limited to):
SEO & Organic Growth
- Own and evolve the organic growth strategy, prioritizing initiatives based on opportunity, business impact and scalability.
- Drive growth across organic traffic, rankings, qualified leads, conversion and revenue.
- Identify opportunities using search demand, SERP analysis, user intent, competitor insights and customer search behavior.
- Lead technical SEO initiatives across crawling, indexing, site architecture, internal linking, rendering, structured data and mobile‑first SEO.
- Develop content and authority strategies with Content, PR and Brand to improve visibility, links, rankings and domain authority.
- Measure the impact of SEO initiatives and continuously refine priorities based on results.
Product‑Led Organic Growth
- Identify opportunities where product experiences can become scalable organic acquisition channels.
- Use search and customer‑demand data to uncover new product and growth opportunities.
- Develop initiatives around tools, templates, landing‑page experiences, programmatic pages, proprietary data, UGC and other scalable experiences.
- Build business cases using demand, competitive opportunity, expected impact and implementation effort.
- Work with Product and Engineering to take opportunities from idea to launch, measurement and scale.
- Look beyond content creation and continuously explore what we can build to solve what users are searching for.
AI / LLM Search
- Own and develop our approach to visibility across ChatGPT and other major AI/LLM search and answer platforms.
- Build relevant prompt and topic datasets based on customer demand and business priorities.
- Measure brand mentions, citations, competitive share of voice and visibility across AI‑generated answers.
- Analyze the sources, publishers, communities and content influencing AI answers.
- Design and run experiments to improve brand visibility, citations and representation across AI platforms.
- Connect AI-search learnings with SEO, content, digital PR, brand and product initiatives.
- Continuously test new approaches as AI discovery evolves rather than relying on a fixed GEO/AEO playbook.
Data, AI & Automation
- Build and analyze our own datasets rather than relying solely on third-party SEO tools and industry benchmarks.
- Turn large and messy datasets into actionable insights, opportunities and business cases.
- Use AI to improve research, SERP and intent analysis, classification, competitive intelligence and experimentation.
- Use AI as a working tool, not just for content generation, to improve the quality, speed and scale of decision‑making and execution.
- Build or automate repetitive analysis and workflows where it can create meaningful efficiency or uncover opportunities that would otherwise be difficult to identify.
- Develop reliable reporting and measurement frameworks across search, product‑led growth and AI‑search initiatives.
- Experience with GSC, GA, Semrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Bing Webmaster Tools, SEO testing platforms, APIs, SQL, BigQuery, Python or similar technologies is valuable.
Leadership & Cross‑Functional Collaboration
- Operate as a senior individual contributor while providing direction and mentorship to SEO team members where needed.
- Own multiple initiatives independently from opportunity, hypothesis, execution, measurement, scale.
- Work closely with Product, Engineering, Analytics, Content, PR, Brand and Marketing teams.
- Translate search and customer insights into clear business cases and product requirements.
- Use data and evidence to influence stakeholders and drive prioritization and decision‑making.
- Communicate complex SEO, AI‑search and data insights clearly to both technical and business stakeholders.
- Bring curiosity and creativity to the role, continuously challenging assumptions and identifying new opportunities.
