[Hiring] Staff Product Manager, Organic Growth @Zenni Optical

Role Description

As the product leader for Organic Growth (SEO & GEO), you are the architect of Zenni’s organic acquisition engine. This isn’t a traditional SEO role focused strictly on keywords and audits; it is a high-impact position where you will own the commercial performance and incremental revenue of our organic channels. Your mission is to transform organic search from a reactive traffic source into a proactive, scalable driver of incremental revenue.

Reporting to the Sr. Director, Commerce & Growth, you will sit at the intersection of Product, Content, Marketing, and Engineering. You will be the primary steward of our organic P&L, tasked with both defending our established market share and expanding our reach through the creation of new, high-converting digital surfaces. You won’t just identify market demand; you’ll also partner with technical teams to build the programmatic experiences that capture customers at the very start of their vision-correction journey.

We are seeking a strategic full-stack growth leader who views SEO and GEO as compounding assets. You are as comfortable defining a technical product roadmap as you are analyzing keyword opportunities or analyzing attribution models to prove the bottom-line impact of your initiatives. At Zenni, you won’t just manage rankings; you will build the future of how millions of people discover and purchase affordable prescription eyewear.

Responsibilities

• Ownership over the Organic Channel: Responsible for the end-to-end Organic Search channel, including responsibilities for driving incremental revenue, managing the organic P&L, and translating search traffic into bottom-line business impact.
• Product Roadmap & Strategy: Own the end-to-end roadmap for organic surfaces, including definition and prioritization of scalable or programmatic product features that capture unaddressed market demand.
• Growth Engineering: Partner with Design and Engineering to launch new indexable surfaces, while safeguarding the technical health, site architecture, and ranking authority of Zenni’s core web properties.
• Conversion & Experimentation: Own the organic click-to-cart journey. With incremental organic revenue as your north star, it will be crucial to optimize organic surfaces to maximize the value of every session.
• GEO & Innovation: Future-proof Zenni’s discovery engine by optimizing for GEO, ensuring our brand is the default choice for generative recommendations.

Qualifications

• You have ~8 years of combined experience across SEO, related Growth Marketing and/or consumer-facing Product Management.
• You have a strong commercial acumen and financial literacy, with the ability to move beyond the “traffic” to discuss LTV, CAC, incrementality, and other concepts.
• You’re technically literate, including a deep understanding of site architecture, structured data, and more. You don’t need to code, but you must be able to speak the language of engineers.
• You have experience with content strategy, including a background building scalable content engines. You know how to balance “writing for humans” with structural requirements of search engines and LLMs.
• You possess analytical rigor, including expert-level proficiency with SEO tools, web analytics, and A/B testing frameworks.
• You are AI-enabled, including both a deep understanding of how Generative AI is changing search as well as proficiency to leverage AI to multiply your productivity.
• You are an excellent communicator, with the ability to translate complex commercial or technical concepts into “so what?” insights for executive stakeholders.
