Job description

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is not a purely executional SEO role. You will join our product team as the go-to person for SEO, GEO and AEO, working closely with Product, Engineering, Content and Communications.

You will have real ownership: identifying opportunities, defining priorities and influencing both our technical roadmap and content strategy.

As the way people search changes rapidly, you will help build our approach to GEO/AEO (Generative & Answer Engine Optimisation) - understanding how generative AI platforms discover, interpret, surface and reference our content.

You will not simply inherit an SEO playbook. You will help shape it.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

• Lead technical and on-page SEO, independently identifying opportunities and prioritising improvements.


• Define and maintain structured data, including Schema.org and JSON-LD, while contributing to information architecture decisions.


• Develop our GEO/AEO approach and monitor visibility and traffic from AI-powered platforms.


• Build keyword strategies and actionable content briefs for the content team.


• Work directly with developers on redirects, crawlability, crawl budget and robots.txt.


• Analyse rankings, organic visibility and traffic, translating data into clear recommendations.


• Stay ahead of algorithm changes and emerging SEO/GEO practices, bringing new ideas and priorities to Product.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 4-6 years of hands-on SEO experience, gained in-house, at an agency or as a consultant.


• Strong technical SEO expertise, including site architecture, Core Web Vitals, structured data/Schema.org, redirects and crawl management.


• Solid experience with Google Search Console, GA4 and tools such as Screaming Frog, SEMrush or Ahrefs.


• The ability to move comfortably between technical SEO, data and content strategy.


• A proactive mindset and the confidence to define priorities, rather than simply execute a predefined roadmap.


• Excellent Italian and a good level of English for direct collaboration with our technical team.

EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE

Experience with GEO/AEO and optimisation for AI answer engines would be a strong plus, as would hands‑on knowledge of JSON‑LD and complex @graph markup.

An interest in social impact, restorative justice and employment reintegration would make the match even stronger.

WHY JOIN US?

This is an opportunity to combine technology, search innovation and social impact in the same role. You will help shape an increasingly strategic area that brings together established SEO expertise and the emerging world of AI search, GEO and AEO.

You will work directly with Product and Engineering, have genuine autonomy and influence products from both a technical and strategic perspective.

Most importantly, your work will not only be about increasing traffic. It will help ensure that useful information and opportunities reach people who genuinely need them.

Based in Milan, with a hybrid way of working.

If you are excited about where search is going and want to use your expertise to help build technology with a meaningful purpose, we would love to hear from you.
