Job description

Build AI-first organic growth systems with clients

We are hiring a Forward Deployed Marketer for SEO, AEO, and GEO who can diagnose a client’s growth problem and build the operating system that solves it. Include “AI-first SEO is cool” in the subject line. Otherwise, your application will be disqualified.

You will combine senior organic-search judgment with hands-on AI system building. You need to work directly with clients, turn ambiguity into a measurable plan, and ship workflows that improve visibility, citations, qualified traffic, pipeline, or revenue.

About Single Grain

Single Grain is a revenue marketing agency. We build pipeline-focused systems that compound, not campaigns that expire. We have helped more than 500 companies, from venture-backed startups to the Fortune 500, drive measurable growth.

We operate as an AI-native team. Every role uses AI to improve speed, quality, judgment, and leverage. AI output still requires source control, brand accuracy, technical review, and human judgment.

Your mission

Build and operate AI-first organic growth systems that improve a client’s approved business KPI, not only rankings or content volume.

Primary KPI: produce a measurable improvement in qualified organic or answer-engine visibility, pipeline, or revenue while shortening the time from insight to action.

What you will own

  • Diagnose the client’s market, search demand, answer-engine visibility, technical constraints, content system, and conversion path.

  • Set the organic strategy, KPI, baseline, measurement plan, and prioritized roadmap.

  • Build agents and workflows for research, briefs, content operations, internal linking, technical checks, refreshes, reporting, and opportunity discovery.

  • Work directly with client leaders and operators to unblock implementation.

  • Coordinate writers, developers, analysts, and strategists with clear acceptance criteria.

  • Measure visibility, citations, qualified traffic, conversions, pipeline, and revenue where attribution permits.

  • Document the system so it can be used, audited, and improved.

What success looks like

In 30 days, you have completed a client diagnosis, set the baseline, and prioritized the first high-leverage system.

By 60 days, the first workflows are live, adopted, and producing measurable operating or visibility gains.

By 90 days, the client has a repeatable SEO, AEO, and GEO learning loop with clear ownership and business readback.

Evidence we need to see

  • At least six years of relevant SEO or organic-growth experience.

  • Two recent SEO, AEO, or GEO examples with your exact client-facing and execution ownership.

  • One AI agent or workflow you personally shipped and maintained.

  • One quantified business result with a credible attribution explanation.

  • Strong technical SEO, analytics, client communication, and prioritization judgment.

This role is not

  • A content-volume role with no business readback.

  • A role for generic AI output or unverified claims.

  • A strategy-only seat that hands implementation to someone else.

  • A traditional account-manager role with no systems ownership.

How the process works

  1. Application and evidence review.

  2. A focused strategy and systems screen.

  3. The published Beat Claude SEO strategy challenge.

  4. A live client-case and tradeoff review.

  5. References and final decision.

Work model and compensation

This is a fully remote, full-time role. The compensation range is $100,000–$150,000. Current benefits listed for the role will be preserved.

Apply with proof

Send two relevant client examples, one AI system you built, one measured result, and a clear description of your exact ownership.

Apply once. Then go straight to the hiring manager.

After you apply, unlock the direct contact details of the people who actually make the call. A quick follow-up makes you 5x more likely to land an interview.
