About the role

*This role is open to remote or hybrid candidates (East Coast preference), with hybrid being central to our New York, NY or Charlotte area offices. Must be able to work Eastern Standard Time hours.

What they're looking for

  • Proven organic leadership — 4+ years leading teams, you've built and scaled organic search functions end-to-end, not managed channels in isolation
  • AEO/GEO depth — genuine command of how answer engines work and how content gets cited by LLMs. You're ahead of the curve, not catching up
  • Revenue orientation — accountable for revenue or contribution from organic, not just traffic, with results to prove it
  • AI-native operator — you build AI and agentic workflows into how your teams work, and move fast in a landscape changing under you
  • Builder mentality — energized by defining a new discipline inside an established org, you bring structure where there's ambiguity
  • Executive presence — you articulate strategy and tradeoffs clearly to the CMO and senior leadership
