Searchable is an agentic marketing platform helping brands measure and optimize their visibility across AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) and traditional SEO. The company is at $5M ARR in 10 months, backed by top angels and VCs, and operates five days a week from an office near London Bridge.
You will be the first hire into the AEO (AI Engine Optimization) team, working alongside the Head of AEO/SEO to shape how this function operates from the ground up. This is a senior, multi-skilled role combining strategy, analysis, research, and product collaboration.
Key responsibilities:
**Strategy & Client Delivery**: Own SEO and AEO strategy for a portfolio of medium to enterprise clients, from audit through roadmap and ongoing optimization. Identify visibility gaps across traditional search and AI surfaces, translate them into prioritized action plans, and run client calls, QBRs and strategic reviews with authority. Build documentation including roadmaps, recommendations, reporting frameworks and competitive benchmarks. You will be the primary strategic contact for your accounts, operating with the credibility enterprise clients demand, while also executing the work yourself.
**Analysis & Insight**: Analyze how brands surface across AI models—tracking prompts, mentions, citations and sentiment. Translate raw data into clear insight about what's happening, why it matters, and what to do about it. Benchmark client visibility against competitors across both traditional SERPs and AI-driven discovery. Build repeatable analytical frameworks that scale across the client base and feed into product development. You must be equally comfortable in spreadsheets and strategy decks, moving fluidly between data and narrative.
**Research & Thought Leadership**: Conduct deep research into how LLMs retrieve, rank and surface information. Stay ahead of AI search behavior evolution across major platforms. Contribute original thinking to Searchable's methodology and knowledge base—your research will directly shape client advice and product development. Translate complex AI and search concepts into clear explanations for clients and internal teams.
**Product & Platform**: Support sales by leading platform demos, setting up client environments, and showcasing visibility gaps to prospects. Identify product gaps through client work and translate them into well-scoped tickets for engineering. Work closely with Product and Engineering to ensure new features solve real client problems. Act as the bridge between client needs and platform delivery.
The company emphasizes this is an AI role, not a traditional SEO role. You will operate at the forefront of AI's role in search, upgrading SEO expertise to function in an AI-native world. You should find your lever, understand AI, and use it to work faster and smarter.
**Requirements**:
- 4–7+ years in SEO, with strong foundations across content, technical and strategy (AEO experience is a plus)
- Experienced working directly with clients at a senior level; you've led accounts, run calls and owned delivery
- Analytical and detail-oriented, with ability to extract meaning from data and present with clarity
- Confident communicator (written and verbal) who can operate credibly with senior stakeholders, founders and C-suite
- Genuinely curious about AI, LLMs and the future of search; already paying attention to how this space is shifting
- Comfortable with ambiguity and pace in early-stage environments; you thrive because of uncertainty, not despite it
- Hands-on by nature; you see execution as craft, not beneath you
- Multi-skilled and serious about your craft; equally comfortable building strategy roadmaps, analyzing prompt data, running client calls, and writing product tickets
- Proficiency with Figma, Notion and AI-driven tools like Claude; expected to learn tools quickly and use AI to scale workflow
