About The Role

The Senior SEO Content Specialist creates high-quality, SEO-optimized content that grows G2’s readership, search visibility, and category leadership. This role blends exceptional writing ability with deep SEO expertise and AI-driven workflows to deliver impactful content at scale.
Beyond content creation, the Senior Specialist supports strategic initiatives, mentors junior writers, and experiments with innovative content formats that keep G2 ahead in an evolving SEO and LLM-driven discovery landscape. The ideal candidate thrives on deadlines, understands how content drives business outcomes, and brings forward fresh, data-informed ideas to evolve our strategy.

In This Role, You Will: 

1. Strategic Projects & Initiatives

• Take ownership of small-to-mid-scale SEO content initiatives, from ideation through execution.

• Contribute to team-wide improvements by sharing knowledge, leading process refinements, and supporting cross-functional projects.

• Partner with SEO, Product, and Marketing to align content strategies with business goals.

• Be proactive in communicating progress and blockers, content performance insights, and learnings to managers and stakeholders.

2. Content Creation & AI Optimization

• Write and publish 4–6 long-form, AI-optimized SEO articles per month, maintaining high editorial, AI Overview visibility, and SEO standards.

• Identify high-impact opportunities through LLM and keyword research, competitor analysis, and industry trends.

• Leverage AI-assisted workflows (e.g., G2 review analysis, SERP monitoring, content repurposing) to increase efficiency and uncover unique insights.

• Peer review and mentor teammates by providing feedback on SEO, structure, tone, and competitive positioning.

3. Innovation & Growth

• Experiment with new content formats and AI-driven strategies, such as interactive tools, data-driven storytelling, and multi-channel distribution.

• Stay ahead of shifts in Google SERPs, LLM-driven discovery trends, and competitive content landscapes.

• Regularly propose new opportunities in 1:1s, team meetings, and cross-functional syncs.

• Act as a mentor and thought partner to junior writers, helping elevate the team’s collective work.

You are an ideal candidate if

• You’re curious about where search is headed and understand how SEO, AI, and LLM-driven discovery are changing the way buyers find and evaluate software.

• Writing is your super skill. Whether it’s a data-driven blog post, a thought-leadership piece, or a deep-dive guide, you can produce content that’s not just polished but genuinely valuable.

• You spot high-impact opportunities and hold a record for executing them to drive success. You are curious about how new discovery models (from search engines to AI-driven platforms) shape those opportunities.

• You bring a growth mindset. Experimenting with new tools and approaches isn’t just a checkbox for you; it’s part of your process.

• You’re self-directed and thrive in an environment where you can balance content creation with managing smaller projects from start to finish.

• You focus on impact, not just keywords. To you, the real magic happens when content builds trust with buyers and earns visibility across channels and algorithms.

Minimum Qualifications:

We realize applying for jobs can feel daunting at times. Even if you don’t check all the boxes in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. 

• 3–5 years of experience writing and optimizing long-form SEO content, ideally in SaaS, IT, or B2B tech.
