The ideal candidate is an experienced digital strategist who can confidently lead CRM and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) strategy from planning through execution while also supporting broader digital growth initiatives. This is a hands-on role requiring someone who can own SEO/GEO work directly—not simply oversee specialists—as these capabilities are now active, billable workstreams across client accounts.

You'll partner closely with strategists, account teams, paid media, creative, and analytics teams to develop recommendations, execute strategic initiatives, and communicate results to clients. Familiarity with Adobe Analytics, Adobe Journey Optimizer (AJO), and Customer Journey Analytics (CJA) is highly desirable.

What You'll Do

Own CRM & GEO strategy and execution

• Lead CRM and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) initiatives across multiple client accounts, developing and maintaining roadmaps, conducting audits, prioritizing opportunities, optimizing content for both traditional search engines and AI-driven search experiences, and translating insights into actionable recommendations.

Drive digital growth strategy

• Partner with internal teams and clients to shape integrated digital marketing strategies that improve discoverability, customer acquisition, and business performance. Develop strategic frameworks, recommendations, and client deliverables while ensuring a high standard of work across engagements.

Translate analytics into strategy

Lead senior client conversations
