Capital One is consistently ranked on several Best Workplaces Lists, including Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.”

The Capital One Consumer Bank Marketing team is a growing group looking to bring in a new SEO & GEO Marketing Principal Associate. Our team is on the forefront of SEO & GEO strategy across the Capital One Enterprise, we’re constantly evolving to meet the shifting demands of the digital marketing landscape, and we’re having fun with our wide-ranging partners while we’re doing it.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Holistic Organic Strategy: Develop and execute comprehensive organic visibility strategies that bridge traditional search engine optimization (SEO) with emerging generative engine optimization (GEO) to maximize brand presence across search engines and AI chat interfaces.
  • Conversational & Intent-Based Research: Partner with digital marketing agency on advanced keyword, entity, and conversational query research to inform content roadmaps that satisfy both traditional search intent and the natural language prompts used in AI overviews (like Google SGE, Perplexity, and ChatGPT).
  • Technical & Semantic Optimization: Translate technical site audits from digital marketing agency into actionable briefs for the Site Ops/Content teams to ensure optimal crawlability, indexability, and the flawless implementation of advanced schema markup/structured data to help AI models easily parse and cite site content.
  • E-E-A-T & Digital PR: Drive initiatives to establish and amplify brand E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness), securing high-quality backlinks, unlinked brand mentions, and authoritative citations vital for traditional ranking and LLM inclusion.
  • Content Auditing & AI Adaptation: Regularly audit existing content libraries to identify performance decay, continuously optimizing legacy pages for semantic relevance, answer-box capture, and inclusion in generative AI summaries.
  • Performance Analytics & Reporting: Translate complex data from performance analysis reports and monitoring tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and enterprise SEO platforms (e.g., Ahrefs) into actionable strategic pivots.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner closely with content marketing, PR, product, and UX/UI teams to ensure SEO/GEO best practices and architectural considerations are integrated into all digital initiatives from the ground up.
  • Algorithm & Landscape Monitoring: Stay at the absolute forefront of search engine algorithm updates, AI search rollouts, and changing LLM behaviors, designing controlled tests to understand how generative engines cite sources and adapting tactics accordingly.
  • Well-Managed Governance: Manage marketing creative review processes in workflow management systems; Flawlessly execute a well-managed governance process to ensure audit readiness for all consumer-facing marketing assets

  • Successfully navigates a matrixed organization to problem solve, make decisions and deliver work
  • Balances near-term execution with long-term strategy, demonstrating integrative thinking to prioritize high-leverage work and thoughtfully anticipate alternative scenarios.
  • Autonomously manages strategic workstreams end-to-end, delivering high-quality, in-market results while building sustainable, well-managed operational processes.
  • Fosters an inclusive, solutions-oriented environment by actively building cross-team relationships, sharing institutional knowledge, and elevating the broader team's capabilities.
  • Swiftly pivots and maintains momentum when business priorities shift, quickly upskilling on new capabilities and applying fresh research methods to optimize workflows.
  • Consistently integrates core company values into daily interactions, acting as a positive catalyst for team morale, embracing continuous feedback, and participating in broader organizational culture building.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
