(NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion. Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture. About the Role: The search landscape is undergoing a generational shift from traditional Search Engines to AI-driven Answer Engines. We are looking for a hybrid Technical SEO and Search Experience Specialist to drive user acquisition and lead generation for our OpenTable for Restaurants B2B website, seamlessly bridging the gap between high-level organic strategy and hands-on technical execution. In this contractor role, you will be responsible for defining our B2B organic discovery strategy across traditional SERPs and emerging AI environments, including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Strategy is only half the battle: you will be actively executing on-page optimizations to convert search visibility into qualified merchant leads, while directly managing our technical SEO roadmap alongside our web development team. If you are a self-motivated expert who loves driving measurable business growth but is equally excited to dig into crawl reports, write technical dev tickets, and implement schema markup, this role is for you. What you will do: 1. Core and Traditional Search Strategy * Keyword Strategy and User Intent: Conduct deep keyword research, competitor gap analyses, and search intent mapping to identify high-intent, funnel opportunities. * Content Clustering and Architecture: Define and execute a robust traditional content strategy, utilizing topical authority building, content hubs, and pillar-cluster models aligned with the customer buyer journey. * On-Page SEO Optimization: Ensure all existing and new landing pages, blogs, and resource hubs are fully optimized for traditional Google search, including featured snippets, heading structures, and metadata. * SERP and Competitor Surveillance: Monitor daily keyword rankings and search engine results page volatility to quickly identify and react to competitor movements or search algorithm updates. * Content Decay Management: Identify historical content that is losing search visibility and execute optimization plans to refresh and reclaim rankings. * Authority and Link Strategies: Develop and recommend white-hat backlink acquisition frameworks and internal linking structures to improve baseline domain authority and page-level performance. 2. Next-Generation Search Strategy (AEO / GEO / AIO) * AI Ecosystem Visibility: Design and execute strategies to maximize our brand's citations, brand mentions, and sentiment within LLM chatbots and generative summaries. * Entity and Machine Interpretability: Identify ways to strengthen our digital footprint and knowledge graph signals, instructing content resources on how to optimize for semantic search and conversational user intent. * AI-Assisted Workflows: Leverage generative AI tools to accelerate day-to-day execution tasks, such as generating structured data blocks, drafting initial metadata options, and analyzing large keyword datasets. 3. Technical SEO Management * Developer Bridging: Translate complex SEO, AEO, and GEO technical requirements into clear, actionable development briefs (such as Jira tickets) for our web engineering team. * Technical Quality Assurance: Partner closely with developers to test, validate, and support the implementation of technical fixes, ensuring they do not impact site performance or user experience. * Search Console Oversight: Take daily ownership of Google Search Console alerts, triaging and resolving issues related to indexation, mobile usability, and 404 errors before they impact performance. * Site Architecture and Performance: Lead technical audits focused on crawlability, indexation health, site speed (Core Web Vitals), and rendering best practices. 4. Hands-on Execution and WordPress Optimization * Website Implementation: Take hands-on ownership of our website’s backend and SEO configuration. You will directly execute on-page updates, internal linking overhauls, metadata adjustments, and URL redirects. * Advanced Schema Implementation: Build, test, and deploy structured data (Schema.org) frameworks to make our site highly interpretable for both traditional search crawlers and AI web scrapers. 5. Analytics and Performance Tracking * Business Impact Reporting: Build and maintain performance dashboards. Connect search traffic, visibility metrics, and AI citations directly to lead generation, pipeline, and business revenue. * Pipeline Attribution: Look past vanity traffic metrics to connect search visibility and AI citations directly to lead generation, form completions, pipeline, and business revenue. What you bring to the table: * Experience: 4 to 6 years of hands-on experience in SEO and organic growth roles, with a proven track record of managing visibility for B2B or lead-generation websites. * Technical Literacy: Solid understanding of technical SEO principles, including crawlability, indexation health, XML sitemaps, Core Web Vitals, and structured data implementation using Schema.org frameworks. * Developer Collaboration: Proven experience partnering directly with web development and engineering teams, including the ability to write clear technical briefs and translate SEO needs into actionable developer tasks. * Tool Proficiency: Expert-level command of SEMrush, Google Search Console, and Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Regular experience using website crawling tools like Screaming Frog is highly valued. * AI Search Awareness: Strong familiarity with the evolving AI search landscape, including a practical understanding of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and how LLMs source information. * Website Management: Comfortable navigating website backends to independently execute on-page optimizations, metadata updates, internal linking overhauls, and redirect management. * Analytical Mindset: Ability to translate raw data into actionable insights, with a strong focus on connecting search performance directly to business metrics like lead generation, form completions, and pipeline. * Contractor Autonomy: A self-motivated operator with excellent time management skills, capable of prioritizing a backlog of technical and strategy tasks and executing with minimal oversight. Benefits: Benefits of this role will be discussed during the interview process. The expected range of compensation for this position based in Toronto, Canada, is $35 - $45 CAD Per Hour. There are a variety of factors that go into determining a compensation range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required. Work Environment & Flexibility At OpenTable, we pride ourselves on fostering a global and dynamic work environment. As a team member with us, you will benefit from a schedule tailored to accommodate a global workforce operating across multiple time zones. While the majority of your responsibilities may align with conventional business hours, there will be instances where you are expected to manage communications - via calls, Slack messages, or emails - outside of regular working hours to effectively collaborate with international colleagues, respond to restaurant partners, and/or address urgent matters. OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations. Inclusion We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. We know the best ideas come when we bring different voices to the table, so we're building a team as dynamic as the diners and restaurants we serve—and fostering a culture where everyone feels welcome to be themselves.

OUR MISSION At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved. We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for. Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE TEAM AND LIFE AT OMNEA HERE. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? This is not a role for someone who wants a playbook. This is for an exceptional closer hungry for a new challenge – you'll break into new markets, 10x revenues, build a world class team, and scale a business. It's built for people like Ariana, Tom, and Sam. * Close six-figure deals with CFOs, CPOs, and C-suite at companies with 500–8,000+ employees * Host CFO dinners, roundtables, and executive events to build relationships with senior buyers and compress deal cycles * Feed frontline deal intelligence directly into product and GTM strategy — you'll have more influence on the roadmap here than at any company twice our size * Run a pod as we scale — owning a geography, a vertical, or a team ABOUT YOU * You have 3-6+ years experience closing complex, high-value deals — you've sold six-figure (or more) contracts to c-suite economic buyers. Mid-market experience is fine if you've consistently been top of your team and have closed enterprise customers before. * You're an elite relationship builder — you know the difference between a contact and a champion, and you've won deals because of that distinction. Buyers trust you before they trust your product. * You're a hunter — you know how to manufacture pipeline without a warm inbound stream and you don't complain when it's hard. * You have executive presence — you can hold a room with a CFO from the first interaction. Your credibility is immediate, not earned over multiple meetings. * You're obsessively prepared — you know more about the prospect's situation than they expect you to, every time. * You're low ego and high accountability — you're not above doing the grunt work. You're competitive with yourself first. You take feedback, you act on it, and you share credit when you win. INTERVIEW PROCESS 1. Initial screen (30 mins) 2. Interview with sales team (45 mins) 3. Take home challenge + interview (60 mins) 4. Final round in person (2 x 60 mins) At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that's loved by everyone, we're best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't quite match the full job spec! And regardless of your race, religion, colour, gender, or anything else! If you think you could be a good fit for Omnea, please reach out. A FEW THINGS TO NOTE: * We offer competitive geo-localised benefits, and you can check out our UK Benefits Package here and our US Benefits Package here. * We work Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays in-person at our offices. At this early stage of our company life-cycle it's important to us that we get this together-time, and you can read more about why we believe this is a winning move here * We're commercial, ambitious and we don't pretend otherwise!
