SEO Director

At ClickUp, we're building the future of work: the first truly converged AI workspace unifying tasks, docs, chat, calendar, and enterprise search, all supercharged by context-driven AI. We are an AI-native company. Every team member is expected to leverage AI daily, and we evaluate AI fluency as part of our hiring process. Join us and help redefine what's possible. Overview We are looking for a strategic, hands-on leader to own ClickUp's organic growth engine at the forefront of the AI Search era. You will bring deep SEO fundamentals, but this is not a traditional Director role. The landscape has shifted, and this position is responsible for defining ClickUp's acquisition strategy across modern discovery systems, building the team and workflows to execute it, and setting the standard for how brands show up across AI-powered surfaces. Our goal is to lead in AI visibility, backed by real investment, executive buy-in, and the autonomy to move fast. You will own how ClickUp is discovered across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and emerging answer engines. You'll translate market shifts into focused strategy, build AI-powered systems that multiply your team's output, and influence cross-functional partners across Engineering, Content, Product Marketing, and Analytics to rally behind organic growth. This role is equal parts strategist, operator, and pioneer. The Role - Own ClickUp's organic acquisition strategy across Google Search, LLMs, communities, review platforms, and emerging discovery surfaces, evolving it for an agentic and LLM-first landscape. - Build AI-powered workflows and agents to automate everything from content creation to complex analytical assessments, championing experimentation and AI-first ways of working. - Build and manage strategic external partnerships (AI platforms, review ecosystems, third-party publishers) and guide internal teams across Reddit, G2, YouTube, etc. to maximize ClickUp's organic presence. - Partner closely with Engineering, Performance Marketing, Content, Product Marketing, and Analytics as a deeply cross-functional leader who also executes. - Lead ClickUp's technical SEO oversight, including site architecture, structured data, and international SEO. - Develop measurement frameworks and use data to prioritize initiatives, identify growth opportunities, and communicate performance to executive leadership. - Act as the organic growth product owner for web engineering priorities: scoping technical projects, defining requirements, and owning the SEO roadmap alongside the web platform team - Own oversight of the content portfolio: defining scalable strategies across editorial, programmatic, localization, and product-led experiences while managing pruning, consolidation, and quality governance at scale. Qualifications - 8+ years in SEO or organic growth at scale, including 3+ years in a leadership role (B2B SaaS preferred) - Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to separate signal from noise, question assumptions, connect findings to business impact, and communicate recommendations with confidence and candor. - Deep understanding of AI-powered search experiences and LLMs, with hands-on experience measuring AI visibility, citations, and LLM referral traffic using tools like Peec, AirOps, Profound, or Scrunch. - Demonstrated experience building AI-powered workflows to automate processes, improve decision-making, and increase team leverage. - Experience managing direct reports and building small, high-output teams that punch above their weight. - Track record of building custom measurement and attribution frameworks, including dashboards and reporting (Hex, Looker Studio), particularly in emerging channels (like AEO) where standardized methodology doesn't exist yet. - Deep expertise in technical SEO, information architecture, content strategy, and on-site optimization. - Low ego, high candor, and a bias toward action. You'd rather ship an imperfect experiment than wait for perfect data. Desirable - Background in or exposure to CRO, particularly where organic acquisition and on-site conversion intersect. - Experience leading international SEO and localization strategies. - Deep technical understanding of how LLMs work end-to-end: from query interpretation to retrieval to output generation, and how that knowledge informs optimization strategy - Experience architecting multi-property domain strategies to expand organic reach beyond a core brand site. - Experience building and deploying AI agents, working with MCPs, and an obsession with automating as much of the workflow as possible to multiply output.
