SEO & GEO Account Manager

Future Publishing is looking for an SEO & GEO Account Manager to join our growing commercial SEO team.

Search is evolving rapidly. Alongside traditional search engines, AI-powered search experiences such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode are increasingly shaping how users discover information. As a global digital publisher, we are actively helping commercial partners understand and improve their visibility across these emerging search environments.

Reporting to the SEO & GEO Innovation Manager, you will act as the strategic day-to-day lead for a portfolio of GEO campaigns, working directly with clients to help them understand, measure and improve their discoverability across both traditional and AI-powered search experiences.

This is a client-facing role that combines SEO expertise, commercial awareness and strategic communication. You’ll work closely with optimisation specialists, analysts and commercial stakeholders to ensure campaigns are delivered successfully, insights are communicated clearly, and clients understand the value of the work being undertaken.

While account management is a core part of the role, this is first and foremost an SEO specialist position. We’re looking for someone who can confidently discuss technical SEO, content strategy, search visibility and emerging search trends with clients, while acting as a trusted advisor in a fast-changing landscape.
