Description

About Foundation

Foundation helps B2B tech and SaaS brands get found, cited and recommended when their buyers ask AI for solutions. We do it through Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): the research, content, distribution and optimization that build a brand's presence across LLMs, search, Reddit, YouTube and the sources they draw on.

The role

You lead a smaller team: 2–4 people delivering for a book of up to $1.5M, or a specialist team such as Paid or Video. You spend about half your time doing the strategy or channel work yourself and the rest leading the team: the plan, the people and the client's day-to-day.

This is the role AEO Program Directors grow from.

On our enterprise accounts, AEO Program Directors lead the dedicated team that delivers the work: the plan, the people and the quality. AEO Marketing Directors own the client relationship, the strategic roadmap and the account's growth. You're client-facing every week, and the key relationship, renewals and expansions sit with the AEO Marketing Director.

Reports to: a Group AEO Marketing Director or Client Services leadership. Team: 2–4 direct reports.

What you'll own

• The delivery plan for each client on your team, and hitting its dates.
• Hands-on work on your most important clients, about half your time.
• Your team's day-to-day: priorities, coaching and first review of their work.
• Effort estimates for new and changed scope.
• The client's working team: status calls and working sessions.

What you bring

• 5+ years in agency strategy, channel delivery or client services, with some experience leading people or projects.
• Deep skill in at least one channel, such as SEO and GEO, paid media, Reddit or YouTube.
• Experience running several client programs at once.
• Working knowledge of how AI search is changing B2B buyer discovery.

Compensation

• Base salary $88k–$110k depending on experience and location
• Variable compensation: Target 10% of base, paid quarterly on team margin, client retention and delivery quality. Where you land in the range depends on experience. US ranges may be adjusted for cost of labor in your state. Benefits are on top of base.
