ABOUT THIS ROLE

We're hiring a Director of AEO & SEO to own how Omniscient delivers on AI search. You'll make Omniscient the AEO agency of choice, inside our delivery and out in the market.

You'll lead the AEO & SEO department end to end: the team, the methodology, the P&L, and its growth. You'll build and lead a team, set the standard for what great work looks like, and make sure it ladders up to what our clients' executives care about: pipeline and revenue, not citation counts. You'll also be one of the reasons clients find us, through your network, your POV, and your presence in the market.

You'll report to our Chief Client Officer and work alongside our Directors of Digital PR and Editorial, our Account Management team, and our founders. You'll have a lot of freedom and a lot of accountability.

If you have strong opinions about where search is going and you want to build the team and system that proves them right, read on.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead and grow the team. Hire, coach, and hold accountable your Team Leads, Strategists, and Analysts. Develop leaders beneath you, plan capacity and succession, and build AEO fluency, analytical depth, and executive presence across the department.
• Own the department’s business and goals. Contribute to annual budget development and own the department's P&L, headcount, and KPIs. Make staffing and scope decisions with margin in mind, and grow the department through expansion and new services.
• Meet with clients proactively and regularly. You get the voice of the customer and understand our clients’ challenges, their opportunities, and their sentiment around the team’s work. You identify opportunities to do more for them. You use the feedback and insights from those conversations to improve our services and delivery. Many clients know and trust you. You don’t just jump in when there’s an issue.
• Bring in business. Be one of the reasons people reach out to us. Share your POV on LinkedIn and at events, build relationships across the industry, and turn those conversations into qualified leads, intros, and closed deals alongside our sales team. No quota, but you're accountable for sourcing leads and hitting revenue goals. Partner with Leadershi
