Job description

This is a high-impact, customer-embedded role. You will work directly with enterprise customers to implement solutions, drive measurable growth outcomes, and translate real-world usage into product insights. You will bridge technical execution with business impact.

This role is ideal for an operator who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes ownership of customer outcomes, and is equally comfortable in marketing infrastructure, SEO systems, and product execution.

What Youll Do

  • Embed directly with enterprise customers to drive successful implementations
  • Own customer outcomes from onboarding through measurable impact
  • Execute SEO and growth initiatives across CMS and marketing infrastructure
  • Partner with GTM and product teams to translate customer feedback into product improvements
  • Design and implement scalable processes across accounts
  • Analyze performance metrics and continuously optimize for traffic, pipeline, and revenue growth
  • Contribute to AI-powered search and content workflows where applicable, * Have not owned customer-facing implementations directly
  • Prefer highly structured corporate environments with narrow scope
  • Have only worked in large tech environments without hands-on execution responsibility

What Success Looks Like

  • Successful enterprise implementations with clear customer impact
  • Measurable improvements in traffic, pipeline, or revenue
  • Strong customer relationships and retention
  • Clear feedback loops between customer usage and product improvements
  • Scalable systems built across marketing and growth infrastructure

Why This Role Is Unique

This is not a traditional engineering or marketing role.

You will sit at the center of customer execution, GTM strategy, and product evolution - embedding with customers, driving growth outcomes, and shaping the product roadmap through real-world impact.

If you are a hands-on operator who wants ownership, visibility, and measurable business impact, this is a rare opportunity to operate at the front lines of growth and product execution.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Technical solutions implementation?, * 2-6 years of experience in B2B SaaS, MarTech, SEO, growth, or customer implementation roles

  • Proven ownership of customer implementations and outcomes
  • Strong expertise in SEO, CMS platforms, and marketing infrastructure
  • Comfort working directly with enterprise stakeholders
  • Analytical, metrics-driven mindset
  • Willingness to work in person in San Francisco

Strong Plus

  • Experience in fast-paced startup environments
  • History of building processes and driving cross-functional initiatives
  • Strong stakeholder communication skills
  • Exposure to AI search, LLMs, prompt engineering, or AI-driven content workflows
  • Hands-on experience with tools such as Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google Search Console, or similar platforms
