Strategic Engagement Manager (SEO / AI Search)

🚀 Strategic Engagement Manager (SEO / AEO) | High-Growth AI Startup | US Remote

We’re partnering with one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the market right now, fresh off

5x revenue growth

and backed by leading tier-one VCs.

They’re building something genuinely new - an

internal, consulting-style SEO/AEO function

embedded directly within the business, working with some of the most recognisable high-growth brands in the US.

This is not another agency role.

This is an opportunity to sit at the intersection of:

• Enterprise SEO
• AI search / AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)
• Product + GTM strategy

…and help define what modern search actually looks like.

💡 The Role

You’ll act as a strategic partner to enterprise clients, owning end-to-end search strategy and execution.

• Build and deliver

  SEO + AEO roadmaps from scratch

• Lead content audits, keyword strategy & optimisation workflows
• Partner with commercial teams on

  pre-sales strategy

• Work directly with

  senior stakeholders (up to CMO level)

• Help

  shape and scale a brand-new function internally

🔍 What They’re Looking For

• Strong

  hands-on enterprise SEO experience

  (not just advisory)
• Background in

  agency or high-growth in-house environments

• Proven ability to

  own strategy end-to-end

• Comfortable in

  client-facing, high-stakes environments

• Curious and proactive around

  AI search / AEO / GEO

🌍 Logistics

• US-based (remote)

  — preference for NYC or SF
• ~15% travel (mainly early-stage onboarding)
• Comp:

  $160k–$265k base + bonus + equity

⚡ Why This Role Stands Out

• Build a

  function from 0 → 1

  inside a breakout AI company
• Work directly with

  leadership + product teams

• Operate in a

  consulting-style environment without agency burnout

• Get early exposure to the

  future of search (AI-first discovery)

If you’re currently leading enterprise SEO strategy and want to be at the forefront of how AI reshapes search - this is worth applying to asap.
