Senior SEO & AI Search Strategist - Contract Opportunity

(Technical SEO / AI Search Visibility Support)
Atlanta/Hybrid/Remote

Alloy is seeking an experienced SEO & AI Search Strategist Contractor to support a portfolio of active SEO and AI-search client initiatives across B2B, SaaS, nonprofit, and enterprise accounts. This role is focused on maintaining momentum across technical SEO initiatives, AI-search visibility optimization, reporting, and strategic execution support across a growing client portfolio.

This position will work closely with internal SEO, content, analytics, development, and client partnership teams to support ongoing strategy execution and recommendation development. While this role is not expected to directly lead client calls, the ideal candidate must be able to communicate findings, recommendations, and strategic rationale clearly and concisely so client-facing teams are equipped to confidently present and execute against SEO and AI-search initiatives.

The ideal candidate is comfortable jumping into active client engagements (mid-stream), navigating ambiguity, and independently driving technical SEO and AI-search initiatives forward with minimal ramp-up time. Experience working within agency environments and balancing multiple clients simultaneously is strongly preferred.

This contractor role is expected to support approximately 20–25 hours per week during the coverage period.

• Communicate proactively around blockers, prioritization needs, and implementation dependencies.
