As consumers shift from traditional search engines to platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, the entire ruleset of growth is being rewritten. Buyers now rely on agents to discover, recommend, and purchase products and services for them. If your brand isn't part of the answer, you aren't in the running.\nOur platform offers everything a brand needs to get found, recommended, and earn trust. We work with category leaders, including teams at Ramp, Chime, Airbnb, ServiceNow, and Rippling, to drive visibility and accelerate growth from AI search.\nBacked by Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, and Founder Collective, we're headquartered in San Francisco, New York, and Montevideo.\nThe Role\nOur best enterprise customers need more than software. They need someone embedded with them to drive real outcomes: sitting in strategy sessions, translating goals into a practical SEO and AEO roadmap, and delivering tangible work that the customer team can use immediately.\nWe are hiring a founding team of SEO/AEO strategists to expand this function. This role is hands-on and output-driven, owning scoped deliverables for customers who have purchased expanded services. You’ll be a specialized resource that our Strategic Account Managers leverage as an SME and partner.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nEmbed with accounts where expanded services have been sold (for example, customers who need dedicated delivery support beyond the core platform).\n\nOwn specific deliverables end-to-end, such as:\nSEO and AEO roadmaps\n\nContent workflows\n\nContent audits\n\nKeyword strategy\n\nDesign and structure recommendations\n\nRun ongoing engagement calls, align stakeholders, and drive work forward with clear outputs each week.\n\nPartner with Sales on pre-sell conversations where deep SEO and AEO expertise is needed to close.\n\nReduce load on senior strategy team members by independently owning delivery and execution inside defined engagement scope.\n\nWho you are:\nRequired\nDeep, hands-on experience delivering enterprise SEO and AEO work, with an ability to translate analysis into clear priorities and roadmap decisions.\n\nYou can do the work, not just talk about it, and you have opinions that hold up with enterprise marketing, content, and design teams.\n\nExperience owning client-facing deliverables end-to-end, with a track record of shipping real outputs on a timeline.\n\nStrong facilitation and communication skills: running calls, driving alignment, and turning ambiguity into clear next steps.\n\nComfort operating at senior level. You can go deep with practitioners and communicate clearly with leadership when needed.\n\nPreferred\nExperience as a senior SEO or AEO strategist at a digital agency serving enterprise accounts.\n\nExperience as an in-house Head of SEO or Senior Content Strategist.\n\nOur Guiding Principles\nExtreme Ownership\n\nQuality\n\nCuriosity and Play\n\nMake Our Customers Heroes\n\nRespectful Candor\n\nBenefits\nEquity in a fast-growing startup\n\nCompetitive benefits package tailored to your location\n\nFlexible time off policy\n\nParental Leave\n\nA fun-loving and (just a bit) nerdy team that loves to move fast!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3184,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible time off","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"New York","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Digital Marketing","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T12:32:28Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-11-03T00:00:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":215000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/airops-senior-aeo-strategy-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/airops-senior-aeo-strategy-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T03:51:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3554,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8504},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8504"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fairops-senior-aeo-strategy-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fairops-senior-aeo-strategy-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fairops-senior-aeo-strategy-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/airops-senior-aeo-strategy-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fairops-senior-aeo-strategy-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":268373}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"airops.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":268373},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
