Full Job Description


About the role

You'll be the person our AEO and engagement management teams turn to when a project needs to get built, not just planned. Think keyword research, prompt mapping, prompt audits, and competitive audits: projects that need real hours and focus. You won't run client calls. You'll make the work behind those calls faster and more scalable for the people who do. This is a build-first role for someone who wants to grow AEO and SEO from the inside, working next to senior practitioners.

What you'll own
  • Build repeatable SEO/AEO project frameworks (keyword research, prompt mapping, content gap analysis) that the AEO and engagement teams can run at scale across accounts
  • Take on ad hoc, time-consuming research and execution requests from the AEO team, and turn them into standard workflows instead of one-off asks
  • Maintain the playbooks and templates that let senior AEO staff spend their time on client strategy, not manual execution
  • Deliver behind-the-scenes fulfillment work fast and accurately, so client-facing teams can move without waiting on you
  • Spot patterns across projects that could become new repeatable processes, templates, or tools


What you'll bring
  • Hands-on experience with keyword research, heat mapping, or similar SEO/content research work, from an agency or in-house team.
  • A builder mindset: you'd rather turn a messy one-off request into a repeatable process than redo it manually every time
  • Comfort working independently on detail-heavy projects without needing constant direction
  • Working knowledge of SEO fundamentals and real curiosity about AEO and how AI answer engines surface and cite content
  • Strong organizational instincts: you can juggle requests from multiple senior teammates without dropping details


Nice to haves
  • Experience with AirOps or similar SEO/content tooling
  • Prior exposure to AEO, LLM citation tracking, or answer engine research
  • Interest in growing into a client-facing AEO role over time
