Ready to apply? Let us help you stand out.
We are looking for a Strategic Engagement Manager with 5+ years of hands-on SEO experience to join AirOps' brand-new internal services function — essentially a mini SEO/AEO agency embedded within the company. You'll work directly with enterprise customers to build and execute search strategies, while also partnering with sales to win new business. This is a high-visibility, founding-team opportunity at a hyper-growth startup backed by Greylock and Unusual Ventures that 5x'd revenue last year.
What will you be doing?
Embed with enterprise customers to build and deliver SEO and AEO roadmaps, content audits, keyword strategies, and content workflows end-to-end
Partner with Account Executives on pre-sales motions — auditing prospect domains, preparing recommendations, and serving as the subject matter expert in strategic sales calls
Manage multiple client engagements simultaneously, running stakeholder calls and driving clear weekly outputs
Help shape and build this new services function from the ground up — defining processes, capacity models, and best practices as the team scales
Present findings and strategic recommendations to senior client stakeholders (up to CMO level) with credibility and polish
Key Requirements
Deep, hands-on enterprise SEO experience — you can independently run audits, build roadmaps, and set keyword strategy (not just talk about it)
Agency experience working with large enterprise accounts is strongly preferred; in-house experience at a high-growth startup also works if you've built strategies from 0 to 1
Exceptional client-facing communication and presence — comfortable presenting to senior leadership and managing enterprise stakeholders
Startup energy and self-starter mentality — you thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and go above and beyond without heavy direction
Actively using modern SEO/AEO tools and data sources in your everyday workflow; genuine enthusiasm for AEO and the AI search landscape
