You’ll be fonio’s in-house SEO Manager. The goal is to rank #1 for every relevant query on Google and in AI search tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, in DACH and in every other market we enter.
You own strategy and execution. You tell the website team how pages should be built, and you set the direction for keyword research across all markets.
Own SEO strategy and execution across all our markets.
Define how pages are built and structured, and work closely with the website and engineering teams on technical SEO.

Write content and commission it from others so we have what we need to rank.
Manage an SEO budget of €20,000–30,000 per month.

International SEO experience: you know how to win in markets beyond your home market.
Fluent English
Strong copywriting skills. SEO people who also write well are rare and valuable.
Hands-on experience with website tools like Webflow or similar.
