Stripe is hiring a Head of AEO & SEO to own its organic growth strategy end-to-end.
- The role spans traditional SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO): technical optimization, content strategy, and on-site experience
- A core goal is visibility in AI assistants (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity) and making coding assistants like Claude and Codex understand how Stripe's products work and integrate
- The hire will build and lead a team of SEO/AEO specialists, driving measurable gains in rankings, citations, traffic, signups, and downstream activations
It's a notable signal that large internet companies now treat being cited and recommended by AI systems as a first-class growth metric.
