- Experience with CMS migration, page consolidation/redirects, and on-page performance
- Proficiency with tools like Google Search Console, Adobe Analytics, SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Looker, and demonstrated experience integrating AI tools like Profound, Peec, and AirOps
- Strong reporting and data storytelling skills: You’re capable of translating complex SEO/AEO performance data into clear, actionable business narratives that drive business decision-making

What the job involves
- As our next Senior Manager, SEO/AEO, you’ll be a critical driver in defining ActiveCampaign’s future of organic growth, pioneering our strategy across traditional search and AI-based search
- This means getting hands-on to execute strategic projects, integrating AI and new technologies, and reporting on performance across traditional search and AEO
- Your mission is to increase ActiveCampaign’s overall traffic, free trials, conversions, and new business from LLMs and organic search
- You’ll provide technical and international guidance for ActiveCampaign’s website, identify opportunities to scale organic business (particularly non-brand organic), execute on those recommendations, and manage reporting
- You’ll be joining a team that creates all types of content from blog posts and webinars to email communications, landing pages, and other content for the ActiveCampaign website
- This role offers the rare opportunity to blend deep technical execution with high-level strategy, granting you the autonomy to define and deliver a global, cross-channel organic search program
- Identify opportunities for technical improvements across the ActiveCampaign website, prioritize them based on their potential business impact, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to implement them
- Pioneer LLM optimization and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) by developing content strategies that ensure ActiveCampaign is the authoritative source material used by LLMs
- Implement best practices and build and execute a high-velocity global organic search roadmap, spanning technical SEO, on-page optimization, content creation workflows, and innovative AEO experiments — all while maintaining a high quality bar
- Provide international SEO guidance, ensuring good search experiences in languages other than English and supporting new region launches
- Serve as the subject matter expert: You’ll provide guidance on keywords, AI algorithm shifts, site architecture, and navigation for improvements to search performance and UX
- Monitor, analyze, and report on the performance of SEO and AEO projects on an ongoing basis, and swiftly flag and provide recommendations for course correction
- Educate others as the resident expert on our results as well as trends and opportunities to grow our share of search in the market
Our take
Marketing and CRM tools are essential to scale a business in the current landscape. Existing tools for optimising engagement, scalability and data analytics have surged in popularity, but many solutions remain unaffordable for small businesses.
ActiveCampaign provides an integrated platform for email marketing, marketing automation and CRM, with the focus on providing businesses with the ability to optimise customer experiences. The platform leverages machine learning and automation to increase the rate at which its clients can scale their engagement levels, regardless of whether the user is running a small or large business.
Despite high-profile competitors, the company has found a gap in the market by providing an integrated and unified solution combining hundreds of tools. The platform is available as an entire package for enterprises, but smaller companies can opt for cheaper and streamlined tool kits. In 2022, ActiveCampaign announced the implementation of over 400 customer ideas into its product. It has also partnered with ActiveEngine, the first ActiveCampaign-only agency, to enable businesses to make better discovery calls and close more deals. With the 2024 opening of a hub in Krakow, it is further expanding its European footprint.
