PERGOLUX is a rapidly growing e-commerce company specializing in Home & Garden. We design, manufacture, and sell pergolas — helping customers worldwide create their ideal outdoor living spaces. Founded in Norway, we're already making waves in 14+ countries across Europe, Australia, North America, and South America. Want to drive growth at the cutting edge of outdoor innovation? This is the place to be!
As our SEO Manager, you will own how PERGOLUX shows up in the new search landscape — across traditional Google rankings, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and the AI assistants shaping the next decade of discovery. This is a dual-track role: you'll drive technical and content SEO across all 14 markets while building PERGOLUX's Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) capability from the ground up. Your mission is to make sure that when a customer asks an AI assistant about pergolas, outdoor living, or the questions that surround a high-consideration purchase, PERGOLUX is the answer — and to make sure we keep winning the traffic that still flows through Google.
Your Tasks
Build and execute the global SEO and AEO strategy across all 14 markets, balancing organic traffic, brand visibility, and citations in AI-generated responses
Own AEO end-to-end: develop frameworks for getting PERGOLUX cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude across high-intent query clusters
Drive content strategy and production planning across markets, working with local Performance Marketing Managers and external partners to ship at volume without dropping quality
Lead technical SEO: site architecture, internal linking, schema markup (Product, FAQ, HowTo, LocalBusiness), Core Web Vitals, indexation, hreflang across 14 country sites, and JavaScript rendering
Build the measurement layer for AEO — share of voice in LLM responses, citation tracking, brand mention monitoring across AI surfaces
Audit and defend organic traffic in markets where AI Overviews are reshaping CTR; identify which clusters to protect and which to evolve toward AEO-first formats
Partner with the Content and Creative teams on E-E-A-T-aligned content production, ensuring author authority, original photography, and first-party data are core to every page
Identify and execute on programmatic SEO opportunities — location pages, comparison pages, configurator-driven pages — built to perform in both classic SERPs and AI summaries
Manage external SEO partners and the transition from agency-led to in-house execution
Stay ahead of every shift in the search landscape and translate it into a roadmap the business can act on
Your Profile
4-6 years of SEO experience with at least 2 years in international or multi-market e-commerce
Demonstrable expertise in AEO/GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — you've actively worked on getting brands cited in AI responses, not just read about it
Strong technical SEO foundation: hands-on with schema, log file analysis, crawl audits, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript SEO, and international SEO (hreflang at scale)
Content-led mindset — you understand that AEO rewards genuinely useful, authoritative content and you can brief, edit, and prioritize accordingly
Fluent with the modern SEO toolset: Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, GSC, Sitebulb, Sistrix; bonus for AEO-specific tools (Profound, Otterly, Peec AI, or in-house tracking setups)
Comfortable in Looker or similar BI tools to build your own dashboards rather than waiting for analytics support
E-commerce or high-AOV considered purchase experience strongly preferred
Native or near-native English; additional European languages (especially German) are a strong advantage given DACH is our largest market
Available to work from our Berlin office four days a week
