Who We Are

GrowthAssistant connects top marketing and operations talent with fast-growing companies that depend on great execution to scale. Founded in 2021 and named by Forbes as one of the best startups to work at, we’re a permanently remote team that runs on integrity, proactive candor, and a bias toward action — and we prioritize the human experience in everything we do. We hire for skill and for heart, and we invest in our people for the long haul.


The Opportunity

We’re hiring an SEO / AEO Strategist to join a fast-growing digital agency serving mid-market and enterprise B2B software and SaaS clients — architecting and driving high-impact organic growth strategies at the intersection of advanced technical SEO, Answer Engine Optimization, and executive-level client consulting. This is a senior individual contributor role with full ownership of the technical and visibility lifecycle: from log file analysis, Core Web Vitals remediation, and custom schema markup to engineering AEO frameworks for AI-driven search surfaces like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, and delivering revenue-tied performance narratives directly to client VPs, Directors, and C-suite stakeholders. This is not a content-only or basic on-page role — it’s built for a practitioner who operates at the frontier of search and executes with minimal oversight.


What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like

  • Technical SEO Ownership: Conduct exhaustive technical SEO audits — managing crawl budgets, resolving complex indexation controls, mapping redirect architectures, and independently diagnosing and providing engineering-ready remediation paths for Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and site-speed issues in direct partnership with client development teams.
  • AEO Framework Architecture: Engineer advanced Answer Engine Optimization strategies to capture organic visibility on AI-driven search surfaces including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other emerging platforms — future-proofing clients’ search presence as the landscape evolves.
  • Custom Schema Development: Hand-code, validate, and deploy advanced structured data and schema markup (JSON-LD) from scratch across enterprise sites — moving well beyond basic template configurations.
  • Content & Funnel Architecture: Construct keyword cluster networks (pillar-and-spoke) and execute competitive SERP mapping to capture high-intent B2B buyers across every stage of the sales funnel.
  • Executive Client Delivery: Lead high-stakes client kickoffs, strategy deep-dives, and monthly performance reviews with senior technology executives — translating complex technical data into clear, revenue-driving business narratives that strip the jargon for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Revenue Measurement: Build comprehensive measurement frameworks via GA4 and client CRMs to explicitly link organic visibility and keyword velocity to pipeline and revenue outcomes — keeping strategy anchored to the levers that move business, not vanity metrics.
  • Migration Strategy: Lead mitigation planning and oversight for large-scale, high-risk website migrations, ensuring clients maintain organic momentum throughout transitions.


What You Bring

  • Senior SEO Experience: 7+ years of proven SEO experience with verified depth in technical execution and multi-faceted search strategy — including extensive agency or consulting environment tenure managing 3+ concurrent client accounts.
  • B2B SaaS & Enterprise Track Record: A proven track record of moving the needle specifically for mid-market or enterprise B2B software and SaaS clients — not SMB or eCommerce-focused backgrounds.
  • Advanced Technical Depth: Deep expertise in crawl budget optimization, log file analysis, schema deployment, and managing complex JavaScript SEO and single-page application (SPA) rendering challenges — paired with expert-level mastery of Screaming Frog (including custom extraction and JS rendering), Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google Search Console, and GA4.
  • AEO & AI Search Fluency: Native familiarity with or strong conceptual command of emerging AI search visibility platforms and Answer Engine Optimization frameworks across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and similar surfaces.
  • Executive Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills — able to write executive-quality audit roadmaps that make complex technical strategy accessible to VP, Director, and C-suite stakeholders without losing rigor.
  • Autonomy & Strategic Ownership: A senior practitioner mindset — able to build your own 90-day roadmaps, prioritize ruthlessly based on revenue impact, and execute with minimal oversight across multiple concurrent accounts.
