Your work shapes how millions of small businesses, accountants and bookkeepers find Xero. Working across a site that spans more than a dozen markets, you will lead advanced technical audits, translate what you find into a roadmap prioritised by business impact, and partner with engineering to deliver the fixes. You will also own how performance is measured, building automated reporting that turns complex search data into insight stakeholders can act on.
Answer engine optimisation sits at the heart of this remit. How Xero is crawled, understood and cited by AI search is still being defined, and you will be one of the people defining it.

You will join Xero's in-house SEO team, working alongside content marketing, SEO and AEO specialists and reporting to the Head of SEO. The team is AI-native: workflows are automated end to end, and we build our own tooling to scale what we do.

Initially, the role will focus on:
Leading a full technical audit of the marketing website across markets, with issues prioritized by business impact
Defining and owning the technical SEO roadmap, maintaining clear visibility across stakeholders
Partnering with engineering and marketing technology to embed technical SEO best practice and deliver fixes
Owning the SEO analytics function, building automated reporting and delivering strategic insight
Automating technical SEO workflows with AI agents to scale analysis and accelerate delivery

Strong SEO analytics capability, including building reporting frameworks, with proficiency in tools such as Screaming Frog, Ahrefs and the Google suite
Hands-on with AI, having built agents, automations or workflows to scale your own work
A systems thinker who sees how technical decisions ripple across content, product and business outcomes
Strong cross-functional influence, with a track record of translating technical requirements into briefs that engineering teams can act on
