Who We Are
GrowthAssistant connects top marketing and operations talent with fast-growing companies that depend on great execution to scale. Founded in 2021 and named by Forbes as one of the best startups to work at, we're a permanently remote team that runs on integrity, proactive candor, and a bias toward action — and we prioritize the human experience in everything we do. We hire for skill and for heart, and we invest in our people for the long haul.
The Opportunity
We're hiring a Senior SEO & AEO Specialist to build and run SEO and answer-engine optimization end to end for a fast-growing AI-powered productivity platform — from research and content development through measurement and strategy iteration — with room to grow into surfacing new organic levers like backlinking and off-page authority, building a repeatable AEO process the broader marketing team can adopt, and expanding organic-growth ownership into adjacent channels as the function matures.
What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like
- Keyword & AEO Research: Identify the terms, questions, and prompts the business should rank and get cited for across search engines and AI answer engines
- Content & Topical Mapping: Build and own the keyword/query-to-content map and editorial calendar — define which pages target which search terms and AI-answer prompts, prioritize by funnel stage and seasonality, sequence what gets created, and prevent cannibalization between competing pages
- Content Production: Produce and edit SEO/AEO-optimized blog posts and pages structured for both traditional search and LLM retrievability — clear entities, structured answers, and source formatting that earns AI citations
- On-Page & Structured Data: Apply on-page and structured-data best practices — meta tags, internal linking, and schema/JSON-LD — to strengthen indexation and answer-engine visibility
- Monitoring & Reporting: Track keyword rankings, organic traffic, and indexation health in Google Search Console, plus LLM mentions, citations, and visibility in a dedicated AEO monitoring tool
- Analysis & Iteration: Investigate movement in SEO/AEO metrics (sessions, clicks, CTR, impressions, pages indexed, AI citations) and translate findings into next actions
- Stack Ownership: Work directly in the existing stack — a headless CMS (Contentful), Google Search Console, and an AEO monitoring platform
What You Bring
- SEO Depth: 3+ years hands-on SEO experience (on-page, technical, and content) with shipped results tied to qualified traffic and conversions
- AEO Curiosity: Genuine interest and early hands-on exposure to AEO/GEO (answer engine / generative engine optimization) and how content earns citations in AI answers — adaptability and curiosity matter more than tenure here, as the discipline is new
- Strategic Ownership: Proven ability to own strategy, not just execute — critical thinking, initiative, and the judgment to set direction, with comfort running the full cycle independently: research, build, measure, iterate
- Tooling Proficiency: Hands-on with a headless CMS (Contentful or similar), Google Search Console, a major SEO suite (SEMrush, Ahrefs, or similar), and a crawler (Screaming Frog or similar)
- Content Instincts: Strong at researching intent, building briefs, and writing or editing accurate, on-brand, discoverable content
- Communication: Fluent written and verbal English; collaborative across functions
Bonus Points if:
- You have hands-on experience with Profound or other AEO/LLM-visibility tools (e.g., AthenaHQ)
- You're familiar with AI Overviews dynamics, content-freshness systems, and entity/schema optimization
- You have backlink and off-page SEO experience
- You have a background in a fast-moving, high-growth tech or SaaS environment
