Senior Enterprise SEO Lead - AI & Modern Search Strategy

We just opened four more roles on the SEO team at Tombras. You would be joining a team of excellent SEO talent, working on national and enterprise brands at the 2025 AdAge Agency of the Year.

The work sits right in the middle of how search is shifting: technical SEO and content as the foundation, plus GEO and AEO across AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Where you'll be working:

Knoxville, TN. Relocation assistance may be provided.

What you'll be doing:

Strategy & Client Management

• Lead Multi-Platform Strategy: Drive organic discovery and visibility strategies across traditional Google Search, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, YouTube, Reddit, maps, and reviews.
• Client Leadership: Serve as a trusted strategic partner for mid-size to enterprise-level clients, presenting performance updates, strategic recommendations, and testing plans with confidence.
• Integrated Marketing: Partner across departments (Development, UX, Analytics, Content, PR, Social, and Paid Search) to maximize broad digital signals that influence both search rankings and AI citations.

Modern Search, GEO, & AEO Execution

• Implement GEO/AEO Frameworks: Oversee the optimization of content for semantic clarity, entity relevance, answer-first structure, citations, structured data, and source quality.
• AI Workflow Innovation: Build, refine, and operationalize AI-assisted workflows (such as content briefs, schema generation, internal link automation, and page refreshes) ensuring they are strictly grounded in human review and high editorial standards.
• Enterprise Tech & Local SEO: Provide hands‑on guidance across core technical SEO elements (crawlability, rendering, site migrations, Core Web Vitals) and supervise multi-location local SEO and reputation programs.

Team Leadership & Measurement

• Supervise & Mentor: Manage workloads, timelines, and quality control across multiple client accounts while directly training and mentoring junior SEO team members.
• Evolve Analytics & Reporting: Move clients away from legacy click‑based metrics to modern frameworks that track share of voice, answer inclusion, LLM citations, and overall business impact.

What you bring:

• Experience: 6+ years of hands‑on experience in SEO (with agency experience working across multiple accounts and industries highly preferred).
• Enterprise Track Record: Proven capability managing technical, content, or local SEO workstreams for complex, national, or multi‑location brands.
• Modern Search Acumen: A clear, working point of view on how generative search, zero-click experiences, and LLMs are shifting user behavior.
• Leadership Capabilities: Demonstrated experience managing project timelines and giving constructive feedback or training to junior team members.
• Data Literacy: Comfort turning performance data from complex environments into clear narratives and business‑focused recommendations.
• Enterprise SEO Tools: BrightEdge, Conductor, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Lumar/Deepcrawl, Google Search Console, and GA4.
• Local SEO Platforms: Yext, BrightLocal, Reputation.com, Chatmeter, or similar.
• Development & Infrastructure: Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and how modern CMS platforms (WordPress, AEM, Drupal, Shopify) or front‑end frameworks affect search accessibility.
• AI Capabilities: Direct experience with prompt design, structured data strategy, retrieval‑aware content structuring, and AI‑assisted content scaling.
