Head of AEO & SEO

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential fintech organization in search of an exceptional Head of AEO & SEO to lead one of their most strategically important acquisition channels. This role sits at the intersection of organic search evolution and AI-powered discovery—a once-in-a-generation shift in how businesses find software solutions.

Our client operates at significant scale, serving millions of companies globally. Their organic channel is already a top-performing growth driver, and they're now pioneering the next frontier: Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). This position will define what AEO means for a platform company and build the playbook that shapes the industry.

Responsibilities

• Own the complete organic growth strategy across SEO and AEO, including technical optimizations, content strategy, on-site experience, and visibility in AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity) and coding assistants
• Lead, develop, and retain a high-performing team of SEO and AEO specialists, fostering experimentation, operational excellence, and continuous learning
• Drive measurable improvements in organic visibility, rankings, citations, traffic, signups, and downstream conversions across both traditional search and AI-powered discovery
• Ensure AI tools accurately understand our client's products and how to properly integrate them
• Partner cross-functionally with product, engineering, content, growth, and data science teams to embed SEO/AEO best practices across web properties, documentation, and product surfaces
• Build and evolve measurement frameworks: develop attribution models, define leading and lagging indicators, and quantify revenue impact of organic channels
• Own the strategic roadmap for AEO, establishing a clear point of view on how AI-generated answers reshape discovery
• Drive improvements across content quality, website architecture, and structured data to maximize discoverability
• Represent organic growth performance to executive leadership, translating complex technical concepts into clear business impact narratives

What We're Looking For

Minimum Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience in SEO, with at least 3 years leading a team and 2+ years at senior/leadership level engaging with executives
• Demonstrated expertise in both technical SEO and content strategy, with a proven track record of driving significant organic growth at scale
• Deep understanding of how AI-powered search and answer engines work (LLM-based retrieval, citation behavior, entity recognition) and clear perspective on optimization strategies
• Ability to drive improvements across multiple levers: content, website architecture, product surfaces, structured data, measurement, and cross-functional influence
• Strong analytical foundation, comfortable with data, attribution challenges, and building measurement frameworks that quantify business impact
• Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts to executive audiences and build strategic alignment around organic growth investment
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, product, content, and data science teams to implement SEO/AEO improvements at scale
• Track record of building, developing, and retaining high-performing teams

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with developer-focused or technical B2B products where documentation, API references, and technical content are significant organic surfaces
• Background in international SEO strategy, managing organic growth across multiple markets and languages
• Experience building programmatic or product-led SEO at scale (template pages, user-generated content, dynamic landing pages)
• Demonstrated early-mover advantage in AEO—evidence of monitoring, optimizing for, or measuring visibility in AI-generated answers
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, metrics-driven cultures where you build the case for investment through data and strategic narrative
