We'd love to see it!\nThis roleSEO/AEO is already Discovered Labs' top pipeline driver. We're hiring an experienced SEO/AEO Manager who can work confidently with data, run our content workflows, off-page programs and personally ship website improvements (using coding agents like Codex or Claude Code) to grow the qualified opportunities it generates.\nYou'll report to Liam and agree commercial goals and quarterly direction with him. You'll own day-to-day prioritisation, delivery and reporting. Using and improving our existing methodology, proprietary tools and workflows, you'll diagnose performance, choose priorities and carry work through implementation and measurement.\nYour primary outcome is qualified inbound pipeline: relevant buyers discovering us through search and becoming sales opportunities. Keyword positions, relevant organic traffic and AI visibility help you understand whether the work is moving in the right direction.\nThis is a full-time individual contributor role with no direct reports. The role is fully remote, ideally within ±4 hours of GMT.\nEveryone on the Discovered Labs team is tech savvy and data-driven, even if they didn’t start that way. If you have curiosity and the willingness to learn, you’ll thrive here.\nWhat you'll doYou'll run our SEO/AEO programme to generate qualified inbound pipeline, with new content, refreshes and off-page campaigns tied to our pillar and cluster strategy.\n\nDevelop our pillar and cluster strategy: Maintain our money-keyword universe, group queries by search intent and map priority clusters to target pages, using semantic clustering where useful.\n\nClose topic gaps with new content: Run the weekly content loop through our proprietary tools, keeping at least two weeks of approved assignments scheduled against editorial capacity and resolving SEO issues in briefs and drafts. Editors handle QA and publishing.\n\nManage content refreshes: Diagnose content decay, underperformance and cannibalisation. Prepare blog refresh briefs covering keyword targeting, topic coverage and internal linking, then verify the changes and measure results.\n\nBuild and optimise landing pages: Personally create and improve pages using coding agents and our GitHub repository. Submit tested pull requests and verify live changes.\n\nFix technical SEO issues: Diagnose and fix issues with crawlability, indexation, internal linking, metadata and structured data. Test changes, verify live results and escalate complex engineering work.\n\nOwn our off-page strategy: Define how targeted link building, Reddit and YouTube support our priority topics and objectives. Brief the specialists who produce the deliverables, review their work and use results to refine the strategy.\n\nClose AI visibility and citation gaps: Use embeddings and entity analysis where useful to investigate how AI answers represent and cite Discovered Labs. Test changes against the gaps you find.\n\nBuild tools that improve delivery: Create and validate scripts, automations and AI workflows for recurring research, analysis and measurement.\n\nConnect every action to an objective: Tie each tactic to an overarching strategy and a clear objective: improving performance on commercial keywords, earning AI Overview placements, strengthening brand positioning or generating qualified pipeline. Measure progress against those objectives and use results to decide what to prioritise next.\n\nThe ideal person for this role\nYou make commercial SEO decisions. You can choose whether to create, refresh or consolidate content by weighing search intent, existing performance and relevance to the buyers we want to reach.\n\nYou investigate before concluding. When performance changes, you check competing explanations across content, technical and off-page factors, and distinguish evidence from a plausible story.\n\nYou turn investigation into implementation. You can take an SEO problem through analysis, a tested website change or a completed content workflow, and measurement of the result. You know which work needs editorial QA or engineering support and arrive with the work ready for that handoff.\n\nYou enjoy the technical detail. You're curious about embeddings, entities and how content relates semantically. You explore the data, build small tools to test ideas and judge the work by whether it improves a useful decision or outcome.\n\nRequirements\nDemonstrated SEO execution, with examples of work you personally diagnosed, prioritised and implemented, the results and how you measured them.\n\nExperience independently translating business goals into search strategy and a practical delivery plan.\n\nWorking fluency in Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs or an equivalent research tool, and a crawler such as Screaming Frog. You use them to investigate performance and check figures at source.\n\nPractical ability to build and improve website pages and make technical SEO changes using coding agents and GitHub, demonstrated through previous work or an exercise.\n\nAn AI-assisted tool, script or workflow you've built or materially adapted to solve a real problem. Explain the decisions you made, what AI contributed, how you verified the code, data or output, and what improved.\n\nEvidence of rigorous SEO analysis that led to an implemented change: explain the data you used, the competing explanations you checked, your decision and how you measured the result.\n\nReliable delivery tracking in a project management tool such as ClickUp, with clear actions, complete handoffs and documentation others can use.\n\nExcellent verbal and written English.\n\nNice-to-haves (not required)\nFamiliarity with B2B or B2B SaaS. Strong candidates from other SEO backgrounds are welcome.\n\nAgency experience or experience coordinating editors and specialist contributors.\n\nDeeper Python, SQL, statistics or applied machine-learning skills.\n\nExperience measuring AI visibility, analysing citations or running link-building and Reddit programmes.\n\nThis role is not for you if…\nYour work ends with an audit or plan. We need someone who implements changes, resolves blockers and checks what happened afterwards.\n\nYou treat traffic or citation counts as the final result. We expect you to connect search performance to relevant buyers and qualified opportunities.\n\nYou ship AI output you cannot explain or verify. You remain responsible for the analysis, recommendations and code you use.\n\nCulture fitYou'll thrive here if:\nYou like small teams, direct feedback and a high degree of autonomy.\n\nYou're curious about how search is changing and willing to test ideas against evidence.\n\nYou communicate risks early and welcome a clear challenge to your recommendation.\n\nYou won't thrive here if:\nYou need heavy management or wait for perfect instructions before acting.\n\nYou protect a perfect plan instead of delivering, learning and improving.\n\nYou need a large team around you before you can produce useful work.\n\nWhat's in it for you\nCompensation: $30K - $75K USD (or EUR/GBP equivalent), DOE\n\nFully remote: Work from where you do your best work, ideally within ±4 hours of GMT.\n\nReal autonomy: Make daily prioritisation and execution decisions, with direct access to Liam for strategic direction.\n\nOur in-house tools and methodology: Learn the proprietary SEO/AEO systems built by our engineers, apply them to our own growth and help improve them. We'll teach you our systems.\n\nDepth and visible impact: Build expertise across organic growth, technical SEO and applied analysis through sustained ownership of a programme whose results you can follow over time.\n\nPaid leave holidays\n\nInterview process\nAsync assessment (15 minutes)\n\n30 minute call with founder\n\n90 minute deep-dive into career history and work\n\n3 hour paid assessment\n\nReference checks with former peers and managers.\n\nTo applyPlease complete the short form on the platform where you see this job ad. Be specific as possible when answering questions - we love detail.\nPlease do not use sloppy AI to auto-apply for this role. It’s obvious and will result in us not progressing with your application for this role and future roles.\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":9372,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting Software & ATS"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T20:31:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":70,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.782,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:10","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":70000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/discovered-ai-seoaeo-manager-internal","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/discovered-ai-seoaeo-manager-internal.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T01:28:23Z","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":2407,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":2724544},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2724544"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdiscovered-ai-seoaeo-manager-internal"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Fdiscovered-ai-seoaeo-manager-internal"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Fdiscovered-ai-seoaeo-manager-internal"},{"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/discovered-ai-seoaeo-manager-internal\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdiscovered-ai-seoaeo-manager-internal"}]}
