Job description
About Foundation
Foundation helps B2B tech and SaaS brands get found, cited and recommended when their buyers ask AI for solutions. We do it through Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): the research, content, distribution and optimization that build a brand's presence across LLMs, search, Reddit, YouTube and the sources they draw on.
The role
You lead a smaller team: 2–4 people delivering for a book of up to $1.5M, or a specialist team such as Paid or Video. You spend about half your time doing the strategy or channel work yourself and the rest leading the team: the plan, the people and the client's day-to-day.
This is the role AEO Program Directors grow from.
On our enterprise accounts, AEO Program Directors lead the dedicated team that delivers the work: the plan, the people and the quality. AEO Marketing Directors own the client relationship, the strategic roadmap and the account's growth. You're client-facing every week, and the key relationship, renewals and expansions sit with the AEO Marketing Director.
Reports to: a Group AEO Marketing Director or Client Services leadership. Team: 2–4 direct reports.
What you'll own
- The delivery plan for each client on your team, and hitting its dates.
- Hands-on work on your most important clients, about half your time.
- Your team's day-to-day: priorities, coaching and first review of their work.
- Effort estimates for new and changed scope.
- The client's working team: status calls and working sessions.
What you bring
- 5+ years in agency strategy, channel delivery or client services, with some experience leading people or projects.
- Deep skill in at least one channel, such as SEO and GEO, paid media, Reddit or YouTube.
- Experience running several client programs at once.
- Working knowledge of how AI search is changing B2B buyer discovery.
Compensation
- Base salary $88k–$110k depending on experience and location
- Variable compensation: Target 10% of base, paid quarterly on team margin, client retention and delivery quality. Where you land in the range depends on experience. US ranges may be adjusted for cost of labor in your state. Benefits are on top of base.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Foundation. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
