About the Role

Go Fish Digital is looking for a Senior Manager of Generative Engine Optimization to join our team. As Senior Manager of GEO, you’ll help make GEO real for our clients. You’ll turn strategy into organized, high-quality work across technical SEO, content, Digital PR, and entity optimization.

You’ll be hands-on in the work: analyzing how brands appear across AI search experiences, building recommendations, coordinating delivery, and helping clients understand what the data is telling us.

You’ll bring curiosity and follow-through to a quickly changing space, working with a supportive team that is building the next chapter of search marketing.

What You'll Do

Strategy & Execution

• Support GEO strategy and execution across a portfolio of client accounts, connecting recommendations to business goals and search opportunities.
• Conduct research across AI search results, brand mentions, citations, entities, competitors, and content gaps.
• Build actionable roadmaps and briefs covering technical SEO, content, structured data, entity optimization, and authority-building opportunities.
• Manage GEO experiments and pilots, documenting hypotheses, implementation requirements, results, and next steps.
• Stay current on generative search platforms and share practical findings with the team.
• Maintain organized documentation and clear workflows so work moves smoothly from insight to implementation.

Client Impact & Delivery

• Prepare client-ready analyses, recommendations, reporting, and presentation materials that make complex topics easy to understand.
• Lead or support regular client meetings, communicating progress, insights, risks, and opportunities with confidence.
• Coordinate with internal specialists to keep GEO deliverables on track, accurate, and aligned with broader account strategy.
• Help turn successful work into repeatable approaches, templates, and case-study inputs.
• Team Collaboration & Development
• Work closely with SEO, Content, Digital PR, Analytics, Paid, and Social teams to connect GEO recommendations to broader marketing programs.
• Support and mentor junior team members, offering thoughtful feedback and helping strengthen GEO fundamentals.
• Contribute to shared playbooks, processes, and internal training that make GEO delivery more consistent.
• Flag recurring client needs, operational gaps, and emerging opportunities to GEO leadership.

Data & Insights

• Track and interpret GEO performance signals, including visibility, citations, brand mentions, entity coverage, and organic-search trends.
• Partner with Analytics to develop reporting that helps clients make informed decisions.
• Use data and qualitative search observations to prioritize the work most likely to improve visibility and authority.
• Translate findings into clear recommendations rather than simply reporting what changed.

Growth & Learning

• Support proposals, audits, and new-business materials by identifying relevant GEO opportunities and contributing thoughtful recommendations.
• Contribute ideas, examples, and learnings that sharpen our GEO service offering and agency point of view.
• Share GEO learnings in internal and client-facing content.

What You Bring

SEO & AI Expertise

• 3+ years of experience in SEO, content strategy, digital PR, or a related search discipline.
• Solid grounding in technical SEO, content optimization, structured data, and how search engines and AI systems retrieve and synthesize information.
• Interest in generative search, LLMs, and the evolving ways people discover and trust brands online.
• You can organize a messy question, investigate it with the right data and research, and turn it into a useful recommendation.
• You’re comfortable working with imperfect signals and know how to pair curiosity with practical judgment.

Client & Project Management

• Experience managing workstreams, timelines, and deliverables across multiple priorities with strong attention to detail.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make technical concepts accessible to different audiences.
• You enjoy learning in public, testing new ideas, and helping a team get smarter together.
• You bring ownership, adaptability, and a genuine interest in where search is headed next.

What You Will Need

• Alongside your resume, craft a one-page cover letter that gives us some perspective into your unique journey and passion for this role. It’s more than just a formality – it’s our first introduction to you. Make it count. Without it, your application won't be reviewed.

Why Join Us

We believe the best work happens when people are trusted to take ownership, supported in their growth, and empowered to bring their unique perspectives to the table. Whether you're just getting started or bringing years of experience, you'll have the opportunity to make an impact while continuing to learn and grow.
