- This includes advancing our Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) efforts to future-proof Tipalti’s search presence across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other emerging platforms
- The ideal candidate understands how crawl health, schema, and site architecture fuel top-of-funnel discovery and mid-funnel engagement — and how evolving AI search ecosystems amplify that reach
- You’ll also own the optimization of Tipalti’s core product and pillar pages, translating SEO performance into inbound pipeline growth and measurable marketing impact
- This is a hands-on, senior-level growth role for a digital marketer who can turn technical expertise into demand generation outcomes, lead cross-functional collaboration, and scale Tipalti’s organic footprint as a core revenue driver
- Lead global SEO initiatives — from crawl health, site architecture, schema markup, hreflang, redirects, and page speed optimization — in close collaboration with web development and partner agency teams

- Advance Tipalti’s AEO and GEO strategy to ensure visibility across AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other generative search experiences — connecting structured data, content, and authority-building for next-gen discoverability
- Support and manage global SEO budgets — overseeing agency partnerships, tooling, and content investments while tracking ROI and efficiency against lead and pipeline goals

- Translate analytics into action by defining KPIs, measuring organic pipeline contribution, share of voice, SERP feature performance, and AI Overview wins — and using insights to continuously refine strategy
- Create detailed project briefs for developers, designers, and content partners to implement technical and on-page changes efficiently
- Serve as Tipalti’s go-to SEO expert for AP automation and mass payments positioning, collaborating with Product Marketing on GTM and demand generation alignment
Our take
Digital finance innovations across the last decade have dramatically changed how financial operations are conducted, with businesses managing their payables workloads digitally. Despite such innovations, many workflows are still conducted manually, leading to time-consuming, repetitive and inefficient workflows.
Tipalti provides a global payments, accounts payable and purchase order automation platform, with tools for each area to reduce manual workflows and optimize operations. The platform’s functionalities are designed to be flexible for the scaling of growing businesses, helping to optimize financial visibility, efficiency and control without the need for business infrastructure changes.
Whilst individual platforms exist for these functions, Tipalti has recognized that businesses do not want to juggle fragmented software solutions inefficiently, and delivers everything in one place. It continues to develop its offering, with a recent influx of funding supporting the incorporation of agentic artificial intelligence capabilities.
