🚨 Fractional Job Alert: SEO Leader for the AI Search Era

This is not a “manage the keyword backlog” role.

I’m working with a brand that understands modern search is driven by authority, AI visibility, and off-site influence, not just website optimization and ranking reports.

They’re looking for a fractional SEO leader who:
• Thinks beyond rankings and understands AI-driven discovery
• Connects technical SEO, content, and off-site authority
• Operates at the executive level, influencing roadmap and structure
• Builds systems, not just campaigns

This is ideal for someone who has led teams, owned outcomes, and wants meaningful ownership without immediately stepping into a full-time in-house role. There is a clear path to full-time if there’s mutual interest.

You’ll have executive visibility and real influence over direction, not just a backlog to manage.

If this sounds like you (or someone you respect), DM me.

And if it’s not for you, a share goes a long way. You never know who might be ready for the right opportunity.
