The posting

Head of Organic Growth and SEO Zürich Office Are you ready for a dynamic role in a truly international environment? As Head of Organic Growth and SEO, you will define and execute a holistic strategy to maximize visibility across traditional and AI-driven search, organic social media, user-generated content platforms, and third-party publishers. Your leadership will be critical to EF’s mission of driving student enrollment through organic growth across 50+ markets and 25+ languages. Strategic leadership: • Own the global strategy for organic visibility, including search, social, AI, and off-site channels such as digital PR, partnerships, and third-party platforms, ensuring EF is cited, quoted, and recommended. • Deliver technical architecture and oversee core SEO fundamentals, including crawlability, indexing, site performance, structured data, and multilingual strategy. • Build scalable content frameworks and global guidelines that enable local teams to execute with consistency and impact. • Stay ahead of trends in search, social, and AI, adapting quickly to algorithm and platform shifts. Team and cross-functional leadership: • Manage and develop a team of 6–8 specialists across SEO, content, technical, and social. • Collaborate closely with paid media, creative, PR, and engineering teams to integrate organic growth into broader acquisition strategies. • Foster a culture of experimentation, using query research, citation tracking, and continuous testing of content performance across search and social platforms to keep EF ahead of the curve. Content, signals, and authority: • Drive a content strategy designed to build strong, consistent, and authoritative brand signals across search, social, and AI-driven platforms. • Champion E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). • Align website, video, social, email, and PR to ensure consistency across channels rather than siloed execution. • Own organic distribution across social and community-driven platforms, leveraging user-generated content to drive reach, engagement, and discovery. Performance and measurement: • Define and report on organic KPIs, including impressions, traffic, leads, bookings, share of voice, brand mentions and citations, and adoption of global frameworks across local markets. • Build attribution dashboards that integrate data from traditional and AI-driven search, organic social media, user-generated content platforms, and third-party publishers, delivering actionable insights. • Use search, social, and market insights to identify keyword trends, student questions, and competitor activity to inform ongoing optimization.

What we are looking for Required: • 10+ years of experience in organic marketing, with a strong track record across search and social at a global, multi-market, multi-language scale. • Strong understanding of technical SEO. • Proven ability to drive measurable business outcomes through organic discovery in complex, research-driven industries. • Hands-on experience optimizing for both traditional and AI-driven search. • Expertise in driving discovery and engagement on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. • Experience leading and developing specialist organic teams. • Strong commercial mindset, with the ability to connect organic strategy and KPIs to revenue and enrollment outcomes. • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across all levels. • Experience in education, travel, or other high-consideration B2C categories.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing
