Job description

Senior AEO Program Director (Senior Delivery Director)

Foundation is an AI visibility marketing agency that drives pipeline growth for mid-market and enterprise B2B tech and SaaS companies. We help our clients generate pipeline through content engineered to distribute across LLMs, search, social, communities like Reddit, and every channel their buyers actually use.

Mission of the Role

You run delivery for a $3M+ portfolio: either two or more delivery teams, or a flagship enterprise program that needs its own team. You lead other Program Directors and senior strategists, and you set the delivery standard everyone else follows. When a large client’s team wants a straight answer on where things stand and what happens next, they get it from you.

On our enterprise accounts, AEO Program Directors lead the dedicated team that delivers the work: the plan, the people and the quality. AEO Marketing Directors own the client relationship, the strategic roadmap and the account’s growth. You’re client-facing every week, and the key relationship, renewals and expansions sit with the AEO Marketing Director.

Reports to: a Group AEO Marketing Director. Team: 8–15 people, including other Program Directors or senior strategists who lead teams of their own.
