Lead Technical SEO Manager

What You Can Expect

This is a hands-on technical leadership role at the center of how Zoom gets found, understood, and surfaced across both traditional search engines and emerging AI-powered discovery platforms. You will own the technical SEO foundation across a complex, multi-platform web ecosystem spanning Optimizely CMS, WordPress, custom web applications, and modern frontend frameworks, translating search strategy into scalable production solutions. Working closely with SEO and Website Engineering leadership, you will drive high-impact implementations, build reusable SEO capabilities and automation, and establish the engineering standards that keep Zoom's digital presence ahead of the curve. Your work connects directly to organic visibility, pipeline, and revenue, and your fingerprints will be on the architecture decisions that shape how Zoom shows up across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and the next generation of agentic web experiences.
About the Team

You will be part of Zoom's Website Engineering team within the Online Business organization, a cross-functional group of web engineers, CMS specialists, SEO and AEO experts, and performance engineers who build and scale the technical foundation powering Zoom's global web presence. The team collaborates closely with Marketing, Product, Design, Content, and Localization to deliver fast, accessible, and AI-ready digital experiences. Technical excellence, a bias toward automation, and engineering-by-design are at the core of how we operate.
Responsibilities

- Lead the technical SEO roadmap and execution across Zoom's global web ecosystem, owning high-priority initiatives driven by SEO analysis, audits, crawl data, search performance data, server logs, technical root-cause analysis, and business priorities.

- Translate SEO and AEO requirements into technical designs, development specifications, production implementations, and ongoing maintenance across Optimizely CMS, WordPress, custom web applications, APIs, and modern frontend frameworks, ensuring requirements are incorporated throughout the software development lifecycle.

- Own technical solutions for crawlability, indexability, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonicalization, redirects, URL architecture, metadata, structured data, internal linking, hreflang, JavaScript rendering, client-side rendering, server-side rendering, static generation, incremental rendering, and search-friendly application architecture.

- Build and scale reusable SEO capabilities including centralized metadata services, automated sitemap generation, structured-data components, redirect services, internal-linking systems, and standardized SEO configurations that platforms can inherit without repeated manual intervention.

- Drive Core Web Vitals and web performance improvements, including LCP, INP, CLS, JavaScript execution, rendering performance, image optimization, font loading, third-party scripts, caching, CDN configuration, API performance, and server response times.

- Develop automated testing, monitoring, dashboards, CI/CD quality gates, proactive alerting, and validation scripts that detect technical SEO issues and prevent regressions from reaching production across broken links, metadata, canonicalization, structured data, redirects, sitemaps, indexability, robots directives, duplicate URLs, internal linking, accessibility, performance, and rendering.

- Establish the technical foundation for AEO and AI search by implementing structured data, semantic HTML, machine-readable metadata, entity and product schemas, and machine-readable endpoints; evaluate emerging AI-search and agentic-web standards and translate them into practical engineering requirements.

- Define and maintain technical SEO standards and governance across Optimizely, WordPress, and custom applications, serving as the technical authority for SEO implementation within Web Engineering through reference architectures, launch-readiness criteria, design reviews, and code
