Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. Named among the next billion-dollar startups, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.

The opportunity: Head of AEO/SEO

Search is shifting fast — and we’re looking for someone who’s already building for what’s next. As our Head of AEO/SEO, you’ll shape how Tilt shows up in the places people actually search today: AI engines, conversational interfaces, and evolving SERPs. This work sits at the center of how future customers discover, understand, and trust Tilt.

How you’ll make an impact

• Lead the full AEO strategy — defining how Tilt earns visibility and credibility across AI chatbots and answer engines.

• Own our SEO roadmap end to end, ensuring we win the SERPs of today while positioning Tilt to lead the next decade of search.

• Guide the creation and optimization of high-performing content and information architecture, primed for both AI-driven and traditional search.

• Partner with Affiliate Marketing, Brand, and cross-functional teams to secure earned and paid placements that amplify visibility and reinforce trust.

• Build rigorous measurement frameworks that turn insight into action and help us prioritize with clarity.

• Move with speed — testing, learning, and developing automation, data pipelines, and martech to power search campaigns at scale.

• Share progress and perspective with senior leadership, offering sharp insights and forward-looking strategies that help Tilt stay ahead.

What success looks like

• A meaningful lift in Tilt’s visibility across answer engines and priority search queries — both brand and non-brand.

• Sustained growth in high-intent organic traffic to Tilt.com.

• Demonstrable increases in organic acquisition for our subscription and card businesses.

Why you’re a great fit

• 5–7 years of proven, measurable SEO leadership across technical, content, and authority pillars.

• Hands-on AEO experience in the last 12–18 months — you understand how AI systems surface answers and how to influence those surfaces.

• A builder’s mindset: you move through ambiguity with ownership, grit, and clarity.
Strong problem-solving instincts — able to decode complex search behavior and turn insight into repeatable playbooks.

• Deep analytical fluency across visibility, ranking, and conversion tools to define and optimize KPIs.

• Exceptional communication skills, translating complexity into crisp direction for partners across marketing, engineering, and copy.

Why this role matters

Tilt is coming off a major rebrand and already scaling fast. This role determines whether we show up in the moments that matter — where future customers search, ask questions, and look for someone to believe in them. AEO/SEO is foundational to our growth, and we intend to lead this space with conviction.
