Who You Are You are an experienced SEO with deep roots in traditional search, but are excited, not intimidated, by the disruption of AI in search.

The Diplomat: You can explain to a Legal reviewer why an FAQ schema needs to be phrased a specific way without causing a compliance fire drill. The Changemaker: You don’t wait for best practices to be written; you write them. You are ready to define what Pharma SEO looks like in 2026. In this role, you will lead the evolution of our organic discovery strategy, bridging the gap between traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). You will ensure that whether a patient, caregiver, or Healthcare Professional (HCP) asks Google, ChatGPT, or Perplexity about our therapies, they find accurate, compliant, and helpful information.

AI Search: Make content recommendations for conversational queries ("Is X drug covered by Medicare?" or "How does Y mechanism of action work?"), ensuring natural language processing (NLP) models can easily parse and retrieve our answers. 3. Cross-Functional Leadership & MLR Navigation Regulatory Partnership: Act as the bridge between "Fast SEO" and "Safe Pharma." Work closely with the Medical, Legal, and Regulatory (MLR) teams to educate them on why certain SEO edits (e.g., FAQ, schema, content blocks) are necessary, while understanding the non-negotiable boundaries of FDA compliance. Education & Advocacy: Demystify GEO and AI search for brand marketers and senior leadership. Translate complex technical search concepts into business impact..
