Job Responsibilities

• Own the design and execution of a multi-quarter SEO and AEO roadmap — including priorities, success metrics, and operating models across AMNHealthcare.com, Workwise.ai, and supporting digital properties

• Monitor and optimize citation share across LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) and AI Overviews, developing strategies to increase AMN's presence in AI-generated answers and summaries

• Lead technical SEO strategy across crawlability, indexation, site architecture, canonicalization, XML sitemaps, and robots directives to maximize organic and AI discoverability

• Design, deploy, and validate structured data and schema markup to improve visibility in both traditional SERPs and AI-powered search experiences

• Establish clear guidance for how AMN content should be created, structured, optimized, and distributed to maximize visibility in AI-generated responses

• Create citation-ready content with clear entities, definitions, comparisons, and evidence blocks that AI models can easily extract and reference

• Partner with Content and Brand teams to execute keyword gap analyses, content briefs, and topical authority mapping aligned to candidate and client search intent

• Ensure web content management systems, landing pages, and templates adhere to SEO/AEO best practices and support lifecycle marketing objectives

• Build and maintain SEO/AEO measurement frameworks and dashboards using GA4, Google Search Console, SEMrush, BrightEdge, Profound, and emerging AI search analytics tools

• Design and run A/B tests, personalization experiments, and content experiments to lift rankings, conversions, and engagement across web and Passport

• Track and report on AI-driven traffic sources, keywords, and referral patterns (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) to inform content strategy and measure authority beyond traditional SERPs

• Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, OMNI, Analytics, Brand, and Paid Media teams to align search and discovery efforts with broader business goals

• Balance and prioritize multiple projects across internal and external resources, including agency partners and vendor relationships

• Serve as an internal subject matter expert on modern search, AEO, and AI discovery — educating stakeholders and embedding best practices into roadmaps, sprint planning, and content workflows

Required Skills

• 7+ years of experience in SEO, digital marketing, or organic growth — with demonstrated expertise in technical SEO, content strategy, and site architecture

• Hands-on experience with AEO/GEO — including optimizing for AI Overviews, LLM citation, and emerging AI-powered discovery platforms

• Proficiency with SEO and analytics tooling: GA4, Google Search Console, SEMrush, BrightEdge, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, Profound, and/or similar platforms

• Experience with structured data strategy (schema markup, entity optimization) to improve SERP and AI readability

• Strong understanding of web content management systems, landing page optimization, and conversion rate optimization methodologies

• Strong analytical mindset — comfortable interpreting performance data, running experiments, and translating insights into actionable strategy
