Organic Search Marketer - SEO/AEO
几十年来，在线搜索遵循着一种简单的交换：用户输入关键词，搜索引擎返回链接，品牌之间竞争点击量。AI 搜索改变了这一模式。曾经只是用来查找信息的方式，如今已成为解读信息的方式——创始人不再只是搜索链接，而是提出复杂的问题，比较选项，并依赖 AI 系统综合出他们可以采取行动的答案。对 Mercury 而言，这种转变是一个机会：塑造我们的专业知识在搜索和答案引擎中的呈现方式。

如果你符合以下条件：
- 一位技术熟练的 SEO/AEO 专家，理解 LLM、机器人和传统搜索引擎如何消费、解释和评估内容，并能将这种专业知识应用于爬取、索引、渲染、网站架构和页面性能……
- 一位高级跨职能运营者，能够跨团队建立共识，处理竞争性优先事项，并在路径不明确时推动复杂项目前进……
- 一位善于分析的思考者，能够设计并执行有意义的实验——同时是一位务实的建设者，知道何时快速行动、学习并交付成果……

For decades, online search followed a simple exchange: customers typed keywords, engines returned links, and brands competed for clicks. AI search has changed that. What was once a way to locate information has become a way to interpret it — founders no longer just search for links, they ask complex questions, compare options, and rely on AI systems to synthesize answers they can act on. For Mercury, that shift is an opportunity: to shape how our expertise shows up across search and answer engines.
Mercury’s Organic Search team is hiring an Organic Search Marketer (SEO/AEO) to help define how Mercury shows up across search engines, answer engines, and AI-native discovery — for founders and entrepreneurs building companies, navigating complexity, and looking for trusted guidance in the moments that matter.
In this role, you’ll identify high-impact opportunities, develop SEO and AEO strategies that drive traffic and AI visibility for Mercury products (like Mercury's Business Credit Cards), experiment with new workflows and formats, and help turn Mercury’s expertise into content that is discoverable, authoritative, and genuinely useful. We’re looking for someone with strong commercial instincts, deep SEO/AEO fluency, an AI-native mindset, and the curiosity and ownership to help define and set the standard for what Mercury’s modern search strategy looks like.
If this sounds like you...
- A technically fluent SEO/AEO expert who understands how LLMs, bots, and traditional search engines consume, interpret, and weight content — and can apply that expertise to crawling, indexing, rendering, site architecture, and page performance…
- A senior cross-functional operator who can build alignment across teams, navigate competing priorities, and move complex initiatives forward even when the path isn’t obvious…
- An analytical thinker who can design and run thoughtful experiments — and a practical builder who knows when to move quickly, learn, and ship…
- Someone who raises the bar for the craft — establishing standards, sharing judgment, and helping teammates produce stronger work.
...then read on.
In this role, you will:
- Define and own high-impact SEO and AI Search strategies across priority products and business opportunities, using performance data, competitor deep dives, and audience insights to prioritize opportunities, close coverage gaps, and improve content effectiveness over time — ultimately driving qualified traffic that converts into Mercury account applications and revenue.
- Make explicit trade-offs between opportunities and redirecting investment when work is not meaningfully advancing Mercury’s goals.
- Partner cross-functionally with Social, Product, Product Marketing, Engineering, and Community teams to turn SEO and AEO opportunities into shipped work across channels — including blog content, product pages, YouTube scripts, social, and community surfaces
- Own the technical SEO/AEO roadmap for Mercury.com, working closely with Engineering to improve page speed, rendering, and site architecture and experiment with new delivery techniques to make the site accessible and fast for both humans and bots
- Be a trusted and close partner with the Stories team, helping them to build longitudinal content roadmaps that balance the certainty of long-term planning with flexibility for emerging trends, search shifts, and business priorities
- Build repeatable systems, AI workflows, and guidelines that increase the consistency, efficiency, and impact of Mercury’s SEO and AEO efforts
- Drive SEO-driven evergreen content optimizations, working with content partners to improve performance while preserving writing quality, usefulness, and brand standards
- Strengthen how Mercury products are surfaced across owned and earned media by identifying targeted placement opportunities, building authority, and helping search and answer engines connect upstream topics to Mercury’s solutions.
- Identify and scope high-value tools, templates, calculators, downloadable PDFs, and other multi-format assets that make Mercury content more useful, shareable, linkable, and cite-worthy
- Relentlessly test new plays for improving traditional and AI search traffic and visibility — from new page types to edge caching for bots — scaling what works, stopping what doesn't, and feeding learnings back into team-wide strategy
You have:
- 5+ years of SEO experience, with 2-3 years focused on AEO, ideally in a fast-moving startup environment
- Deep technical fluency paired with a clear grasp of how LLMs interpret and weight content differently from traditional search engines
- Hands-on experience with AI agents and automation tools, with a builder's instinct for turning them into repeatable systems
- Sharp, data-informed judgment for knowing what to prioritize, what to scale, and what to cut
- Demonstrated ability to influence senior and cross-functional stakeholders, navigate disagreement, and create clarity where ownership or direction is ambiguous.
- Experience establishing standards, frameworks, or operating practices that improved the quality or effectiveness of a broader team.
