Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As the SEO & Generative Search Manager at Tremendous, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our online presence and driving organic growth, with a significant focus on the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI search. This 6-month freelance contract is designed to optimize our engagement with AI-powered search engines, ensuring Tremendous is prominently featured and accurately represented in AI-generated answers, while simultaneously maintaining and enhancing our established SEO strategies. You will be instrumental in scaling our generative engine optimization (GEO) efforts, a critical component of modern search visibility, and will contribute to the ongoing success of our traditional SEO initiatives.
• This role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the hiring manager to seamlessly transition into the responsibilities before their parental leave begins. Following this handover, you will independently collaborate with our talented content team of four. While we have a solid foundation in place, this position is not about starting from scratch. You will be empowered to maintain and evolve existing strategies, bringing your fresh perspective, innovative ideas, and proven expertise to further elevate our search performance. Your contributions will directly impact how potential customers discover and engage with Tremendous, a platform that simplifies bulk payouts for businesses worldwide.
• The core of your responsibilities will be divided between Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and traditional Search Engine Optimization (SEO), with GEO accounting for approximately 70% of your focus and SEO for 30%. This weighting reflects the current strategic importance of AI search in reaching our target audience.
• In GEO, you will lead the execution of strategies aimed at optimizing our content and online presence for AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. This involves a deep understanding of how these platforms process information and generate answers. You will be responsible for scaling and expanding our current GEO experimentation process, continuously testing new approaches to identify what works best. A key aspect of this will be evolving our library of Large Language Model (LLM) prompts, refining them for both content generation and optimization based on performance data.
• Furthermore, you will ensure that our content is meticulously structured to maximize its visibility within AI search results and to encourage citations. This includes monitoring how Tremendous is represented in AI answers, diligently working to optimize for brand mentions and citations. Your success will be measured through key performance indicators (KPIs), including citation share, answer-engine visibility, and brand mention rate, which you will track and report on monthly. These reports will not only detail performance but also provide insightful analysis of trends and the effectiveness of your strategies.
• On the SEO front, you will maintain and optimize our existing SEO strategies across all critical areas: technical SEO, on-page optimization, and off-page SEO. This includes conducting thorough keyword research, performing comprehensive content audits, developing strategic content outlines, and implementing semantic optimization techniques. These efforts will support both traditional search engine rankings and enhance our visibility in AI-driven responses.
• You will collaborate closely with the content team to ensure that SEO and GEO best practices are integrated into the editorial planning process and content briefs. This collaborative approach ensures that all new content is optimized from its inception. Staying abreast of the latest search algorithm updates and emerging trends in both traditional and AI-powered search is paramount to maintaining our competitive edge.
• This role requires a self-starter who can manage projects effectively and communicate clearly. You will be expected to work approximately 15-20 hours per week, providing crucial support during the contract period. Your ability to translate complex LLM behaviors and AI search features into actionable content and technical initiatives will be a significant factor in your success. A strong understanding of how LLMs retrieve, summarize, and cite information is essential for navigating this dynamic field. Your proven track record in implementing SEO strategies with measurable results, particularly in content optimization, will be highly valued.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on SEO experience.
• Proven experience testing and implementing Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) tactics, demonstrating an experimentation mindset.
• Self-directed with strong project management and communication skills.
• Ability to translate LLM behaviors and AI search features into actionable content and technical initiatives.
• Strong understanding of how LLMs retrieve, summarize, and cite information.
• US-based, fully remote.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive freelance contract rate ($60-105 per hour based on experience).
• Fully remote work environment.
• Flexible ~15-20 hours per week schedule.
• Opportunity to work with a profitable, growing company.
• Direct collaboration with hiring manager and content team.
• Exposure to cutting-edge AI search optimization strategies.
