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 Specialist to own organic and AI-search visibility at a performance marketing and growth agency that builds analytics-driven growth foundations and fuels expansion with paid media and multimedia creative for forward-looking brands across D2C, financial services, SaaS, and mobile — running technical, content, and competitive audits to prioritize fixes that grow qualified traffic and LLM visibility; owning topical maps and content calendars across core categories; turning entity and intent research into actionable editorial briefs; and keeping the site optimized for both traditional search and LLM-based discovery, with a clear path to owning more of the strategy layer as the practice matures.


What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like

  • Audits & Prioritization: Run technical, content, and competitive audits; prioritize fixes that grow qualified traffic, LLM visibility, and conversions.
  • Topical Mapping & Calendar: Own topical maps for core categories — map keywords to page types/templates, prevent cannibalization, and plan the calendar by funnel stage and seasonality.
  • Content Briefs: Turn entity/intent research into concise editor briefs: intent, primary/secondary keywords and variations, required entities/questions, internal links, schema type, CTA, and success metric.
  • Guidelines & Team Enablement: Maintain SEO/AEO and voice/tone guidelines; coach the content team on discoverability and LLM retrievability; keep SOPs and checklists current.
  • Structured Data & Schema: Recommend and provide structured data (Article, FAQ, Product where relevant; LocalBusiness when applicable), validate in staging/production, and monitor in Google Search Console.
  • Technical SEO Monitoring: Monitor crawl/indexation (GSC), robots/sitemaps, canonicals/redirects, pagination, and Core Web Vitals; open tickets for fixes and escalate platform issues with stated impact.
  • LLM Visibility & AI Search Tracking: Use LLM-visibility tools (e.g., AthenaHQ) to surface trusted sources for briefs and structure outputs for clear entities and citation-friendly formatting; track LLM mentions/citations over time; monitor AI Overviews and SERP shifts and propose small, high-impact experiments.
  • Local & GEO SEO: Support local/GEO SEO where relevant — Google Business Profile, NAP consistency, citations, reviews, and location-page requirements.


What You Bring

  • SEO Experience & Track Record: 2+ years hands-on SEO (agency or in-house) with shipped results: qualified traffic, conversions, and LLM visibility.
  • GEO/AEO Mindset: Genuine interest in the new GEO/AEO paradigms and a willingness to learn and adapt as the discipline evolves.
  • Brief Ownership & QA: Ability to create actionable briefs/outlines that editors and writers can execute; set acceptance criteria and QA adherence without owning the prose.
  • Tool Proficiency: Proficiency with Google Search Console, GA4, a major SEO suite (e.g., SEMrush), a crawler (Screaming Frog or similar), an LLM-visibility tool (e.g., AthenaHQ), and PageSpeed Insights.
  • Technical SEO Knowledge: Understanding of clusters, information architecture, internal linking, and SERP feature optimization (FAQs, snippets, video/image where relevant).
  • Communication & Collaboration: Inclusive, collaborative communicator — flexible and able to work across functions and with external partners.


Bonus Points if:

  • You have local SEO fundamentals: Google Business Profile operations, citations, reviews, geo-page content patterns, and UTM reporting
  • You have experience with AI Overviews dynamics, content-freshness systems, and LLM tracking/visibility tools (e.g., AthenaHQ or similar)
  • You have a background in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
