This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps.
Our partner is looking for a SEO & AEO Manager based in Brazil.
This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for building and scaling an organization's organic search growth engine.
You'll own the SEO and AEO roadmap end to end, combining technical optimization, content strategy, analytics, and emerging AI-search practices.
The role offers the opportunity to shape how a growing business is discovered across traditional search engines and AI-powered search experiences.
You'll assess existing initiatives, establish clear priorities and KPIs, and turn organic search into a measurable business-growth channel.
Alongside your individual contribution, you'll lead, coach, and develop an SEO team while establishing scalable processes and high standards.
You'll work in a fully remote, international environment with significant autonomy and direct visibility with marketing leadership.
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced SEO professional who wants to build a function while staying close to the work and at the forefront of AI-driven search.
Responsibilities
Own the SEO and AEO roadmap, including priorities, timelines, KPIs, execution, reporting, and continuous optimization.
Assess existing organic-search initiatives, identify opportunities for improvement, and establish scalable processes for ongoing growth.
Develop and execute content strategy through keyword research, topic clustering, editorial prioritization, content briefs, and alignment with business objectives.
Lead technical SEO initiatives covering site architecture, crawl optimization, indexation, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and overall search accessibility.
Build the AEO strategy from the ground up, improving how the organization is understood, surfaced, and cited across AI-powered search experiences such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude.
Lead, coach, and develop the SEO team by setting priorities, clarifying ownership, reviewing work, and creating accountability for results.
Use data and performance reporting to connect organic-search activity with business outcomes, identify trends, and recommend actionable next steps.
Continuously adapt SEO and AEO strategies as search behavior, AI technologies, and ranking and discovery mechanisms evolve.
Collaborate with marketing and other stakeholders to ensure organic growth initiatives support broader business priorities.
Requirements
5–8+ years of professional SEO experience, including 3–5+ years in an SEO Manager or comparable leadership role.
Strong hands-on experience across both technical SEO and content SEO, rather than a role focused solely on strategy or reporting.
Demonstrated ownership of an SEO roadmap from prioritization and execution through reporting, optimization, and iteration.
Hands-on experience with Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and/or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), with a strong understanding of how AI is changing search and content discovery.
Practical experience using AirOps or a similar AI-powered SEO/content workflow tool.
Strong technical SEO capabilities, including site architecture, crawl optimization, indexation, Core Web Vitals, and schema markup.
Proven content-strategy experience covering keyword research, topic clustering, editorial prioritization, and development of effective content briefs.
Previous experience managing and developing an SEO team, including delegation, coaching, work review, priority setting, and performance accountability.
Strong analytical and reporting capabilities, with the ability to connect organic-search performance to meaningful business outcomes and translate data into recommendations.
Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to explain complex search concepts clearly.
Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and take ownership in a fast-moving, growth-oriented environment.
Strong interest in emerging AI and automation technologies and their practical application to marketing and search.
Professional English proficiency and the ability to work effectively in a distributed international environment.
Conditions
