Manager, Organic Growth & Conversion

What Is a Day in the Life of a Manager, Organic Growth & Conversion?

• Own and revitalize Pattern's end to end organic strategy, treating SEO, GEO (generative engine optimization), and AEO (answer engine optimization) as one unified system instead of three separate disciplines.

• Build and evolve how Pattern shows up in AI driven answer engines and generative search experiences (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and beyond) as those surfaces change.

• Own conversion once organic traffic arrives, partnering with UI/UX and product teams on landing page experience and running structured A/B tests.

• Coordinate cross functional work across content, web/dev, product, brand, and paid media teams to execute a single, unified organic roadmap, coordinating keyword strategies with content strategy.

• Build systems and reporting that move the team from one off audits toward repeatable, data informed processes that scale.

• Use technical and data tooling, including analytics platforms, SEO and testing tools, and AI assisted workflows, to prioritize work and prove impact.

• Report on performance across the full funnel and translate findings into a strategy leadership can act on.

What Will I Need to Thrive in This Role?

• 5 or more years of experience in SEO, with hands-on exposure to how GEO, AEO, and AI search surfaces are reshaping organic discovery.

• Strong understanding of technical layer: site architecture, crawlability, core web vitals, and structured data and schema markup.

• Real experience with CRO and A/B testing, including experimentation design, statistical significance, and turning results into decisions.

• Working knowledge of UI/UX principles and how design decisions affect both search performance and conversion.

• Comfort with data, including pulling insights from analytics tools and building or interpreting dashboards with the ability to set targets and forecast organic growth. 

• Expertise with AI tools, both for optimizing for AI driven search and for making your own workflow more efficient.

• A track record of leading cross functional initiatives, influencing teams you don't directly manage toward a shared goal.

• Systems thinking, with a default instinct toward how this scales instead of solving the same problem manually every time.

• Strong communication skills, able to translate technical search and testing concepts for a leadership or generalist audience.

• Bachelor's degree required.

• Willingness to work remotely within the US, with occasional travel as needed.

What Will Make Me Stand Out During the Interview Process?

• A clear point of view on how SEO, GEO, and AEO converge into a single organic strategy rather than three separate workstreams.

• Specific, measurable outcomes driven through organic and conversion work, not just the work itself.

• Experience building or managing a testing roadmap or CRO program from scratch.

• Ecommerce or marketplace industry background (Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, and similar).

• Experience partnering closely with product, design, and engineering teams to ship experiments.

• A strong point of view on how AI is changing organic discovery, backed by real examples.

We Are Looking for Individuals Who Are

• Game Changers. Someone who looks at problems with an open mind, shares new ideas with team members, regularly reassesses existing plans, attaches a realistic timeline to goals, and actively pursues improvements to Pattern's processes and outcomes.

• Data Fanatics. Someone who wants growth and conversion decisions grounded in evidence, not just instinct, and tracks the effects of those decisions using data.

• Partner Obsessed. Someone who builds experiences with our customers and their success in mind, clearly explains the status of projects to partners, and delivers results that exceed expectations.

• Team of Doers. Someone who would rather ship great work than admire a deck about it, uplifts team members, and holds themselves accountable to the team as well as to partners.
