GEO & SEO Manager

Search is changing. We intend to change with it.

Google is no longer the only place where buying decisions begin.

People now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews which companies to trust, which software to buy and which agency to hire. The companies appearing in those answers will capture disproportionate demand. The rest may never know the search happened.

Influencer Strategists is looking for an SEO & GEO Manager to help our clients become discoverable, credible and commercially relevant across both traditional search and generative engines.

This is not a role for publishing 50 AI-generated articles and calling it a strategy.

We use AI to automate research, analyse thousands of queries, identify citation patterns, monitor visibility and scale intelligent workflows.

AI automation? Absolutely.

AI writing? Never.

The ideas, expertise and point of view must come from humans worth listening to.

What you’ll own

You will lead SEO and Generative Engine Optimisation strategies for ambitious companies across the creator economy, SaaS and professional services.

You’ll:

• Build strategies across Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other answer engines
• Create commercial query maps based on how real buyers research, compare and select companies
• Identify citation gaps, source patterns and the publications influencing AI-generated recommendations
• Turn proprietary company knowledge, customer data and expert insight into genuinely useful content
• Lead technical SEO audits and translate findings into clear priorities for developers
• Build and improve bottom-of-funnel landing pages, industry pages, comparisons and high-intent resources
• Develop authority through digital PR, credible mentions, partnerships and off-page distribution
• Design AI-powered automations for research, clustering, monitoring, reporting and quality assurance
• Measure rankings, citations, qualified traffic, assisted conversions and—most importantly—commercial impact
• Work directly with strategists, developers, designers, subject-matter experts and clients
• Run experiments before the industry has agreed on what the best practice is

You might be our person if you

• Understand technical SEO, content strategy, internal linking, information architecture and authority building
• Can explain the difference between ranking in Google and being cited or recommended by an AI engine
• Think in buyer journeys and revenue—not traffic screenshots
• Have experience with tools such as Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog or similar platforms
• Can work with automation tools such as n8n, Make, APIs, spreadsheets and ideally some Python or JavaScript
• Know how to turn messy datasets into useful decisions
• Can brief writers and experts without flattening their thinking into generic SEO copy
• Have strong editorial judgment and can recognise AI slop from three browser tabs away
• Are comfortable owning projects without waiting for a 47-slide strategy deck or six layers of approval
• Communicate clearly with both technical teams and commercially minded clients
• Are curious enough to test what works instead of repeating what worked in 2022

You do not need to match every bullet. We care more about how you think, what you have built and whether you can learn quickly.

What this role is not

This is not:

• A keyword-stuffing operation
• A content-farm management role
• A job where success means publishing more articles than last month
• A prompt-engineering position disguised as strategy
• Traditional SEO with “GEO” added to the title last Tuesday
• A place where traffic without commercial value is celebrated
  

What success looks like

Within your first few months, you should be able to:

• Understand where each client is—and is not—visible across search and AI
• Turn that understanding into a prioritised growth roadmap
• Ship technical, editorial and authority-building initiatives
• Automate the repetitive parts of the work without automating the thinking
• Show how our work influences discovery, qualified demand and revenue
• Help us build a GEO methodology that becomes difficult for competitors to copy
  

About Influencer Strategists

Influencer Strategists is a growth partner to firms shaping the creator economy.

We help agencies and SaaS companies build authority, improve discovery, convert more demand and scale through SEO, GEO, product-led growth, websites and AI automation.

We are building at the intersection of search, generative AI and the creator economy—three industries currently rewriting one another.

We are small enough for your work to matter immediately and ambitious enough for it to become much bigger than your original job description.

What we offer

• A fully remote role
• Serious ownership from the beginning
• Direct access to clients, data and decision-makers
• The freedom to build systems—not merely inherit them
• Space to experiment with emerging search behaviour
• A team that values speed, judgment and intellectual honesty
• No obsession with where you sit, provided the work moves forward

And the salary?

Semi-competitive.

Everyone says their salary is competitive, but mathematically, we cannot all be winning.

What we can promise is a fair offer based on your experience, location and the value you can create—discussed openly, without pretending free coffee is compensation.

How to apply

Please send us:

1. A short introduction video
2. Two or three examples of SEO, GEO, automation or organic-growth work you are proud of
3. The clearest example you have of turning search visibility into a commercial result
4. One thing most companies currently misunderstand about AI search

No seven-paragraph cover letter written by ChatGPT.

We would rather see how you think.
