Your role at Kittl 🥁
Search is changing fast: people still use Google, but more and more answers happen inside AI tools, with zero clicks. Our organic leverage already sits in the product: high-ranking /create pages, a template library, comparison and directory pages, and strong branded demand. What's missing is someone who owns organic growth end to end: decides where Kittl bets, gets it built with engineering and is accountable for the results. You'll draw on expert SEO advice, but the calls are yours. Your title so far might have been Product Manager, Head of Growth or SEO Lead. What matters is that you've made the decisions and shipped the work at scale. This role sits in Product.
What you'll do 📋
Own organic growth: Be the single person accountable for organic search and AI discovery, with targets you set and report against, starting with the US, our most important market
Make the calls: Bring in expert SEO advice, weigh it against the data, and decide what Kittl bets on and what we stop doing
Own the surfaces: Run the roadmap for our /create, comparison and directory pages: information architecture, page experience and templates
Experiment and decide: Test, measure on signups rather than traffic, and decide what to scale, fix or retire
Get it built: Write specs engineers can build from, secure capacity in cycle planning, and align product, engineering, design and content to ship
Bring in what you need: Work with our SEO specialists and external experts, and decide what else your plan needs, from writers to dev time
What you'll need ✅
Organic growth decisions you owned: You've decided where to bet on organic, what to build and what to stop, and can show the results in signups, conversion or revenue, including the bets that didn't work. Deep technical SEO isn't required
Scale: You've done this on a large website, ideally with 500k+ organic visits a month
The US market: You've grown organic search in the US
You get things built: You've written specs, won engineering capacity and shipped pages, templates or product changes with engineering, design and content. Recommendations alone don't count
Data fluency: You're at home in Google Search Console, GA4 and a product analytics tool, and you run experiments with clear decision rules
Product thinking: You think in roadmaps, bets and trade-offs, not checklists. Technical fixes are part of your plan, not the whole of it
Nice to have 👌
Deep technical SEO or AEO expertise. It's a bonus, not a requirement: we bring in expert advice for the specialist depth
Programmatic or template-driven pages at scale
A freemium or self-serve SaaS funnel where organic feeds signups
A design, creative-tools or e-commerce audience
A consulting or founder background
Show us, don't tell us
Tell us about one organic growth decision you made yourself: what you saw in the data, what you decided to build, how you got it shipped, and what happened to signups or revenue.

You'll do well here if 🌟
You pick up problems nobody assigned you. If something's broken and no one has stepped up, you're the person who does
You'd rather make the call and adjust than wait until you're certain. Speed is how we win
You want to own a domain deeply enough that people rely on your judgement in it, whether or not you manage anyone
You'll argue for your position and commit fully when the call goes the other way
You care about details other people would call excessive. We hold a higher bar than most, on purpose
You use AI constantly and still own every word you ship
Every new hire should raise the bar in some meaningful way, not just fill a seat. We hold to that, and it's why you'll be working with the most talented people from all over the world.
