Technical SEO Specialist (E-Commerce) at Hire Overseas · Central…

We're looking for a Technical SEO Specialist to own organic search and AI search visibility for a data-first growth marketing agency serving e-commerce brands. You will work directly on technical audits, on-page optimization, content strategy, and AI answer engine optimization across a focused portfolio of e-commerce clients, with the goal of driving non-brand traffic, AI citation presence, and measurable revenue contribution.

This is a high-output, analytically rigorous role. The agency operates with a bottom-line obsession — every SEO initiative needs to connect to revenue, not just rankings. You will be expected to think like an operator, not just a technician. If you understand both the technical and editorial sides of SEO, can tie your work directly to business outcomes, and stay ahead of how AI platforms are changing how buyers discover brands, this role is a strong fit.

Why You'll Want to Join

• You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
• Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
• Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
• This role requires availability during US business hours
• Work inside a data-first agency with a rigorous analytical culture and a focused, high-quality client roster
• High-ownership SEO role where your work is measured against real revenue impact, not vanity metrics

AI Answer Engine Optimization

• Develop strategies to get clients cited and recommended in AI-generated responses across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude
• Structure content with clear definitional formats, comparison frameworks, and direct-answer layouts that AI models surface
• Monitor AI platform presence and citation rates and adjust content strategy based on findings
• Stay ahead of how AI search behavior is evolving and bring proactive recommendations to the team

Content Strategy and Production Support

• Build and manage content calendars targeting non-brand organic keywords and AI-answer queries
• Brief or write content that ranks, earns citations, and supports the buyer journey from awareness through conversion
• Identify content gaps across client sites and prioritize based on traffic potential, competition, and revenue opportunity

Reporting and Analytics

• Report on organic traffic, keyword rankings, CTR, Core Web Vitals, AI citation presence, and revenue contribution
• Connect SEO performance to bottom-line outcomes using available analytics data
• Translate data into clear insights and prioritized next steps for both internal teams and clients

What You Bring

• Proven experience managing technical SEO for e-commerce websites that generate organic traffic and revenue
• Strong technical SEO skills including the ability to run a full audit, identify root causes, and implement fixes
• Deep understanding of e-commerce site architecture including category hierarchies, faceted navigation, product page optimization, and pagination
• Familiarity with how AI answer engines work and what it takes to get content cited and surfaced
• Proficiency with Google Search Console, GA4, and SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, or equivalent
• Analytically rigorous with the ability to connect SEO work directly to revenue outcomes
• Comfortable working independently across multiple client accounts without losing quality or missing deadlines

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with AI visibility tools such as Scrunch AI, Profound, or similar platforms
• Background in performance marketing or growth analytics alongside SEO
• Experience supporting site migrations or platform transitions with zero organic traffic loss
• Prior agency experience managing SEO across multiple e-commerce client accounts simultaneously

How to Apply

Please include:

1. Your updated resume
2. A link to 2 to 3 examples of SEO work you owned including the URL, the target keyword or initiative, and the measurable outcome
3. A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, walking through one technical SEO or AIO win you are proud of, and explaining how you connected it to a business outcome

Only candidates who submit both work examples and a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.
