The Discoverability Content Specialist is a new role on Meijer’s Owned Media team responsible for establishing Meijer’s presence on the content surfaces that shape how AI assistants, search engines, and online communities recommend retailers to shoppers. As shopping behavior shifts toward AI-assisted discovery (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews) and toward community-led research on platforms (Reddit and Quora), this role ensures Meijer shows up as an authoritative, helpful, and trusted source in those conversations.This role will help define Meijer’s discoverability strategy, develop the editorial and content roadmap, and partner with our GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and SEO teams on technical foundations (schema, structured content, citation signals). You will also produce content directly, writing on-site editorial guides, partnering with social media team on content, and engaging in community channels, particularly in the early stages of the function while we build scale through agency partners and additional headcount.
What You'll Be Doing
- Support Meijer’s discoverability strategy across LLM-crawled surfaces (on-site editorial, organic social, community sites) and define the editorial roadmap aligned to seasonal priorities and weekly story hooks
- Establish and track the measurement framework for discoverability success, including AI citation rate, organic referral traffic from AI sources, share-of-voice in priority categories, and engagement on community surfaces
- Partner with brand and category planning to ensure discoverability content reflects current seasonal priorities and merchant focus areas
- Develop the long-term content pillar architecture (recipe content, expertise guides, seasonal planning, comparison content) that establishes Meijer’s authority in priority categories
- Shape, write and edit on-site editorial content — buying guides, how-to articles, seasonal planning content, category expertise — optimized for LLM citation and customer utility
- Partner with organic social content for platforms where AI assistants source recommendations, with format and voice appropriate to each platform
- Build a reusable content inventory that feeds the content bank and supports paid, owned, and earned surfaces
- Partner with the AI Center of Excellence on technical implementation of E-E-A-T signals, schema markup, llms.txt, and structured content standards across Meijer’s owned properties
- Work with SEO partners to ensure discoverability and traditional search efforts reinforce each other rather than compete
- Stay current on evolving LLM citation behavior, AI search ranking factors, and platform-specific signals; translate changes into actionable content updates
What You'll Bring With You
- 3–5 years of experience in content strategy, editorial, SEO content, or digital brand publishing — ideally for a retailer, CPG brand, or consumer media property
- Demonstrated ability to develop content strategy AND execute against it; you’ve written content people read and shared, not just briefed it
- Working knowledge of SEO fundamentals and a strong point of view on how AI search and LLM citation are reshaping content strategy
- Strong editorial instincts and the ability to write in a customer-first voice across formats — long-form guides, short-form social, conversational community engagement
- Comfortable with ambiguity and building a new function; this role will not have a playbook for the first six months

What We Do
It takes guts to start a business during the Great Depression. And it takes vision to keep it going. Our founder, Hendrik Meijer, opened Thrifty Acres in 1934. Almost thirty years later, his son, Fred, pioneered the world’s first ever supercenter – setting the table for who we are today: a multi-billion-dollar household name in retail. Of course, we’re not done. Not by a long shot. We recently launched the nation’s largest grocery home-delivery service – reinventing the business of grocery shopping … again. A lot has changed over the years, except for one thing; we’re still family owned. And that sense of family runs deep in everything we do. It’s the difference between selling a product and serving a community, and it’s the reason we’ve given back over $30 million to local food pantries in the last ten years. So, if you appreciate the pioneering spirit of Meijer, we’d like to connect with you. Because the bigger our family, the better
