The search landscape is being rewritten in real time. Google is no longer the only front door, buyers now discover, evaluate, and decide through ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and AI Overviews.
n
nWe are looking for an AVP - SEO to lead this shift from the front, someone who can build and scale our AI-driven discovery practice while owning revenue, margin, and delivery excellence spanning AIO/GEO, SEO, Content, Performance, and CRO. This is a builder's role. You will define how an entire organization thinks about AI visibility.
n
nKey Responsibilities
n
n1. Lead AI-Driven Discovery (AIO/AEO/GEO) Practice
n
n
- Own AIO/AEO/GEO practice: strategy, delivery frameworks, and client outcomes
n
- Build and evolve the standard operating playbook for AI visibility, covering technical readiness, content authority, and brand presence across AI platforms
n
- Educate clients honestly on what AI can and cannot deliver, and set the right expectations early
n
- Train and upskill delivery teams so the entire organization speaks a consistent, credible AIO & LLM narrative
n
- Stay ahead of a fast-moving landscape (LLM behaviour, platform updates, ranking signal shifts) and translate that into strategy changes before competitors catch up
n
n
n2. Revenue & Margin Accountability
n
n
- Own revenue and margin outcomes for your portfolio, tracked against real dashboards
n
- Protect and grow margins through smart resourcing and effort tracking, without compromising delivery quality
n
- Retain enterprise accounts for the long term by staying close to outcomes
n
- Shape winning proposals with the sales team, with AI-driven discovery expertise as your edge in the room
n
- Spot and convert cross-sell and upsell opportunities as client needs evolve toward AIO and beyond
n
n
n3. Delivery & Operational Excellence
n
n
- Ensure high-quality, timely, outcome-driven delivery across every account in your portfolio
n
- Track effort variance against baseline estimates across SEO, Content,
and every COE, and act on what the numbers tell you
n
- Build a structured project review cadence with clear KPIs and clear ownership at every level
n
- Continuously improve delivery processes through standardization and automation, not more headcount
n
n
n4. Systems, Automation & Governance
n
n
- Drive adoption of ERP as the single source of truth for tracking, billing, and performance.
n
- Build a culture where managers and teams use data to catch problems before they become escalations
n
- Maintain strong client satisfaction and resolve risks and escalations before they threaten the relationship
n
- Identify what can be automated (keyword research, technical audits, reporting, etc.) and partner with tech to build it
n
n
n5. People Leadership & Capability Building
n
n
- Build a robust leadership pipeline of managers and future leaders within your unit
n
- Set clear goals, KPIs, and career paths for your team
n
- Drive continuous learning through structured training and mentorship, not just annual reviews
n
- Build a culture of ownership and accountability that scales as the team grows
n
n
nWhat You Bring
n
n
- 8+ years in digital marketing, SEO, or a related domain, with at least 2+ years owning revenue or business-unit performance
n
- Real, hands-on AIO/AEO/GEO expertise. You should be able to walk into a room of CMOs and explain how AI platforms actually decide what to cite
n
- Experience managing large enterprise accounts and multi-disciplinary teams
n
- Strong commercial instincts: you understand margins, utilization, and what actually drives profitability, not just delivery
n
- Comfort with dashboards, data, and systems as the way you run a business
n
- A genuine builder's mindset. You'd rather create the playbook than just follow one
n

nIf you have already built something like this inside your current organization and are ready to do it at a bigger scale, we would like to talk. Interested candidates can also share their resume at
