Location: Remote (East Coast, US)
Team: Strategy & Innovation
Reports to: VP, Strategy & Innovation
Salary Cap: $75,000
Position Overview
Allied Global Marketing is seeking a forward-thinking Search Optimization Specialist with a strong grasp of both traditional search mechanics and AI-driven discovery environments. This role sits at the intersection of SEO, ASO, and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), optimizing not just for rankings, but for visibility, citation, and brand presence across LLM-powered search experiences.
As a senior individual contributor, you will own hands-on optimization across web and app ecosystems while actively shaping how Allied adapts to AI-mediated search platforms such as Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and emerging answer engines. You will work closely with Strategy, Paid Media, Earned Media teams to ensure search optimization is future-proofed, measurable, and integrated across channels.
Who You Are
You are an optimizer who understands that “search” no longer stops at blue links. You are fluent in technical SEO fundamentals, but equally comfortable thinking about how and why brands surface inside AI-generated answers, summaries, and citations.
You’re hands-on, tool-literate, and opinionate. You experiment, test, document, and iterate. You can translate complex technical or AI-driven concepts into clear recommendations for clients and internal teams, and you’re motivated by building systems that scale, not one-off fixes.

- Identify opportunities to improve brand visibility, citation frequency, and factual alignment within AI-generated responses.
- Partner with content, PR, and Paid Media teams to ensure GEO strategies are reinforced through authoritative content, structured data, and earned signals.
App Store Optimization (ASO)
- Own ASO strategy and execution across Apple App Store, Google Play, and other marketplaces.
- Optimize app metadata, creative assets (screenshots, previews), and conversion drivers.
- Monitor reviews, ratings, and competitive benchmarks to inform iteration and testing.
AI & Tooling
- Manage and evolve AI-powered search workflows using tools such as:

- ChatGPT and other LLMs for research, content optimization, and testing
- AppTweak, Sensor Tower (ASO)
- Evaluate and onboard emerging AI and search intelligence platforms to keep Allied at the forefront of optimization best practices.

Collaboration & Client Support
- Translate complex SEO, ASO, and GEO insights into clear, actionable recommendations for clients and internal stakeholders.
- Support client presentations, audits, and performance reviews as needed.
- Align organic search strategies with Paid and Earned Media to drive holistic performance.
Required Qualifications
- 3–5 years of hands-on experience in technical SEO strategy and implementation.
- Proven expertise in:
- Technical SEO audits, crawl management, and site architecture
- Schema markup and structured data
- SEO analytics and reporting (GA4, Google Search Console)
