Serving 2,000+ brands globally, we combine AI-powered CMS, GEO, Schema, Local, Content, analytics and AI Agents to help businesses accelerate visibility, customer acquisition, and growth in an AI-first world.

About Role

We are looking for a highly strategic and execution-focused Director - Search to lead enterprise-scale search visibility initiatives across organic, local, technical, and AI-driven search ecosystems, based out of our Bangalore, India office. This role sits at the intersection of Technical SEO, On-Page SEO, Local SEO, Structured Data & Schema Engineering, Entity Optimization, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and AI-powered automation.

You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Content, UX, Analytics, Local Listings, and Marketing teams to drive scalable organic growth across all search channels — traditional, local, and AI-generated. This is a Director-level leadership role with P&L awareness, significant cross-functional influence, and full ownership of the Search strategy and product vision spanning Technical SEO, Local SEO, GEO, and Schema.

Problems We Are Looking to Solve

Key challenges this role will address:

  • How do enterprise brands remain visible and authoritative across traditional search, local search, and an AI-first world where answers are generated, not just linked?
  • How do we build a scalable schema, entity intelligence, and local SEO layer that enables search engines and AI systems to deeply understand and surface our clients' digital properties across all discovery surfaces?
  • How do we unify Technical SEO, Local SEO, and GEO into a cohesive search strategy that scales across complex, multi-location enterprise clients?
  • How do we leverage AI tools, automation, and data workflows to surface insights faster, reduce manual effort, and operate at greater scale across large search programs?

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive improvements in crawlability, rendering, indexing, Core Web Vitals, internal linking, site architecture, and page discoverability.
  • Partner with Engineering and Product teams to operationalize SEO requirements into scalable platform capabilities.
  • Build and maintain SEO governance frameworks, QA processes, and technical standards suited for the India delivery team.
  • Optimize XML sitemaps, robots directives, canonicalization, pagination, hreflang, faceted navigation, and JavaScript rendering.

Schema, Structured Data & Entity Optimization

  • Own the enterprise schema and structured data strategy across all client digital properties — designing, implementing, and governing JSON-LD, schema.org types, and rich result eligibility at scale.
  • Build and maintain entity mapping frameworks — identifying, disambiguating, and strengthening entity associations across Knowledge Graph, Wikidata, and search engine understanding layers.
  • Lead knowledge graph alignment initiatives to improve brand, location, and product entity authority across Google, Bing, and AI retrieval systems.
  • Develop QA and validation pipelines for schema deployment — including automated testing, structured data audits, and rich result monitoring via Google Search Console and third-party tools.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to build schema generation capabilities into Milestone's platform, enabling automated and scalable structured data deployment across client sites.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
  • Opportunity to work in a collaborative and innovative environment with a global team.
  • Career growth and professional development opportunities.
  • A chance to be part of a founder-led, award-winning company that makes a significant impact in the industry.
