About The Role

About the Role

This is the in-house SEO lead role at a fast-growing AI-powered business communication SaaS company, sitting within the Marketing team and working closely with website and engineering. You will own SEO strategy and execution end-to-end, starting with DACH and expanding internationally, with the goal of ranking at the top of both traditional search and AI-generated results.

What You'll Do

-
Build and execute a full SEO strategy across multiple markets, beginning with DACH and scaling internationally.
-
Guide website and engineering teams on page structure, site architecture, crawlability, and technical SEO implementation.
-
Lead keyword research and competitive analysis across traditional search engines and AI search tools such as ChatGPT and Perplexity.
-
Write and commission SEO-optimized content to target and rank for priority queries.
-
Manage a monthly SEO budget of approximately 20,000 to 30,000 EUR, including oversight of external agencies while retaining strategic ownership.

What We're Looking For

-
5 or more years of full-time SEO ownership, with measurable ranking improvements and organic traffic growth at scale; not SEO as a side responsibility.
-
Fluent in both English and German, written and spoken.
-
Proven track record executing SEO strategy across multiple international markets and languages beyond your home country.
-
Hands-on technical SEO expertise covering page structure, site architecture, and collaboration with engineering teams on implementation.
-
Experience managing SEO budgets and working with external agencies while maintaining in-house strategic direction.
-
Strong copywriting skills, able to write compelling, well-ranking content, not just optimize it.
-
Hands-on experience with website builders and CMS platforms such as Webflow, WordPress, or similar tools.
-
Familiarity with AI search tools and how to optimize for AI-generated results.
