Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Long-Form Content Writer (AEO/SEO) based in South Africa.

We are looking for an AI-native content specialist who can combine advanced AI workflows with strong editorial judgment to produce high-quality, long-form content at scale. In this role, you will manage AI agents and tools to research, draft, optimize, and refresh content that performs across traditional search engines and emerging AI-powered answer platforms. You will take ownership of content accuracy, structure, and visibility, ensuring every piece delivers clear, reliable, answer-first information. Working with SEO and AEO strategies, you will help strengthen organic reach and increase the likelihood of content being referenced by AI platforms. You will also continuously improve automated workflows to increase production efficiency without compromising editorial standards. This is an opportunity to shape scalable content operations in a fast-evolving digital search environment.

Accountabilities:

• Design, manage, and continuously improve AI-powered workflows and agent systems for content research, drafting, editing, and refreshing.
• Produce and deliver high-quality, publish-ready long-form articles of at least 1,500 words at a consistent and scalable pace.
• Optimize existing content for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO), including answer-first introductions, FAQ sections, structured headings, schema-ready formatting, internal linking, and metadata.
• Ensure the accuracy, credibility, and reliability of all published content by verifying sources, checking facts, and removing unsupported or unverifiable claims.
• Use search performance and visibility data to identify content opportunities, prioritize existing articles for updates, and organize refresh activities into efficient batches.
• Develop and implement repeatable batch-refresh workflows that can be adopted and used effectively by other team members.
• Monitor content performance across Google and AI-powered answer engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
• Track workflow efficiency, production output, editorial quality, and accuracy to continuously improve the content creation process.
• Deliver measurable results through increased content production, improved search visibility, and stronger AI answer engine citations.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in long-form content writing, content optimization, SEO, and/or AEO, with a portfolio demonstrating published work.
• Strong hands-on experience using AI tools and agents for research, content generation, editing, and optimization. Candidates should be comfortable designing and operating their own AI workflows rather than simply using basic AI writing assistants.
• Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality articles of 1,500 words or more while maintaining consistency, accuracy, and editorial standards at scale.
• Practical knowledge of traditional SEO and emerging AEO strategies, including search intent, answer-first content structures, FAQs, schema-ready formatting, internal linking, and content optimization for AI-generated answers.
• Experience using tools such as Google Search Console, ClickFlow, or comparable SEO and content performance platforms.
• Strong research, analytical, and fact-checking skills, with the ability to identify unreliable sources, verify statistics, and reject AI-generated content that does not meet quality standards.
• Ability to demonstrate measurable improvements in content production efficiency, including reduced research, drafting, editing, and fact-checking time.
• Excellent written English, editorial judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to structure complex information into clear, engaging, and useful content.
• A proactive, autonomous, and data-driven mindset, with a strong interest in continuously experimenting with AI tools and improving workflows.
• Ability to demonstrate real examples of AI-assisted content creation, including published articles, working agent workflows, and a clear explanation of the human contribution versus AI-generated work.
• Experience limited exclusively to social media, video, or short-form copywriting will not be sufficient for this position.

Benefits:

• Fully remote working arrangement.
• Location flexibility, with the opportunity to work from Anywhere.
• Compensation discussed during the initial recruitment call.
• Opportunity to work at the forefront of AI-driven content operations, SEO, and Answer Engine Optimization.
• Hands‑on exposure to advanced AI agents, automation workflows, and emerging search technologies.
• Opportunity to take ownership of scalable content systems and directly influence organic search and AI visibility.
• A results‑oriented environment that encourages experimentation, autonomy, continuous learning, and measurable professional growth.
• Paid practical assessment for shortlisted candidates as part of the recruitment process.
