Use this posting to prepare
Each subsection below is grounded in something the posting or the role fields actually say. Use them as prompts — not as finished resume copy.
Step 1
Terms in the actual posting. Use these only where they match your real experience.
Step 2
Worth raising before applying or in the first recruiter conversation.
01How is the relationship between paid acquisition and lifecycle structured?
Why ask this: Triggered when both paid and lifecycle signals appear. Triggered by the posting’s mention of both paid and lifecycle signals.
02How are retention, activation, and reactivating-lapsed accounts measured?
Why ask this: Triggered when lifecycle or retention signals appear. Triggered by the posting’s mention of lifecycle / retention signals.
Step 3
Each angle below starts from a real signal in the posting. The phrase “if this reflects your real experience” matters — don’t invent experience you don’t have.
Angle 01
Lifecycle / CRM angle
If this reflects your real background, emphasize: segmentation and lifecycle journeys, CRM tooling and journey orchestration, and retention, activation, and reactivation impact
Why we suggest this: posting mentions lifecycle / email / crm and retention.
Angle 02
SEO / organic angle
If this reflects your real background, emphasize: technical SEO and content production, organic traffic and pipeline contribution, and tools (Search Console, Ahrefs, Semrush)
Why we suggest this: posting mentions seo / content.
Keyword stuffing, fabricated bullets, or borrowed metrics tend to backfire in the first screen. Use these as a checklist, not a script.

Original employer description
Reproduced verbatim from the employer. Verify everything in this brief against the source text below.
The way people find brands is changing faster than it ever has, and most agencies are scrambling to keep up. GR0 isn't.
We're one of the fastest-growing digital marketing agencies in the country, and we're hiring a Director of SEO & AI Search to own the evolution of our core service line. This is the role for someone who sees what's coming in search, has the chops to build for it, and wants to lead a team doing work that actually matters.
You'll have a real seat at the table. You'll own outcomes, not just tasks. And you'll have the resources, the team, and the client portfolio to prove what's possible when deep SEO expertise meets genuine AI fluency.
You're the head of SEO at a high-growth agency working with some of the most ambitious D2C brands in e-commerce. Your job is to make the department perform, scale, and stay ahead.
That means leading a talented team of SEO managers, driving retention and results across a diverse client portfolio, and being the person in the room who knows both the technical fundamentals and where the industry is going next.
You'll also be a builder. New processes, new capabilities, new revenue streams. If something isn't working, you fix it. If there's an opportunity no one has spotted yet, you find it.
The team. Hire great people. Coach them well. Build a culture where high standards and psychological safety coexist. Weekly 1:1s are coaching sessions, not check-ins.
The clients. Senior voice on strategy calls, QBRs, and escalations. You know which accounts are at risk before they churn, and you have a plan ready before anyone asks.
The work. Full-funnel SEO strategies built on data: technical audits, content roadmaps, backlinking, digital PR, and cross-platform approaches spanning Google, Bing, Amazon, and beyond.
The business. Department P&L, capacity planning, tooling decisions, sales pitches. You're not just running a service line. You're running a business unit.
The future. AI search is not a side project. You'll lead GR0's point of view on generative engine optimization and make sure the team is ahead of every platform shift, not reacting to it.
You have 5+ years of hands-on SEO experience, including 2+ years managing people, with agency experience that's non-negotiable. You've managed managers. You've owned a P&L. You've recovered at-risk campaigns and helped close new business.
But beyond the resume, you're the kind of leader who gets energy from building. You're curious about AI search, not intimidated by it. You know how to win over a C-suite client and how to give a junior employee feedback they'll actually use. You hold a high bar and people still want to work for you.
Apply before August 7, 2026.
