We are a business driven by our values and have these at the centre of everything we do. Our BigHanders are dedicated to building a culture where We Win Together, We Love to Learn, We Do the Right Thing, We Own It and We Find the Fun.

About the role

The Digital Discovery & AI Strategy Manager owns how the business is discovered, understood, and trusted across digital and AI-mediated environments.

This role defines and evolves the company’s digital discovery strategy across traditional search, AI answer engines, generative platforms, social networks, websites, and key third-party ecosystems. It ensures the organisation is optimised for modern B2B buying journeys, where buyers increasingly self-educate, validate, and shortlist through AI-powered research and distributed digital touchpoints.

The role exists to future-proof visibility, authority, and trust, aligning digital discovery with brand evolution, product priorities, and growth objectives.

What you’ll do

1. Digital Discovery Strategy (End-to-End)

Define and own the digital discovery strategy across all owned, earned, and third-party digital surfaces, including:

• Corporate website and sub-domains
• LinkedIn and priority social platforms
• Search engines and AI answer engines
• Generative and LLM-powered research tools
• Analyst, review, partner, and industry platforms

Establish how each surface supports different stages of the buying journey, from early awareness to deal validation

Ensure digital discovery strategy aligns with brand direction, product positioning, and go-to-market priorities

2. AI Search, AEO, GEO & SEO Strategy

Own the strategy for AI-driven search and discovery, including:

• AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)
• GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)
• SEO for traditional search environments

Define principles for optimising content, structure, metadata, schema, and authority signals for both human buyers and AI systems

Partner with Commercial and Content leaders to ensure assets are discoverable, interpretable, and credible in AI-mediated journeys

Continuously adapt strategy in response to evolving search and AI platforms

3. Website & Core Digital Asset Evolution

Own the strategic evolution of the website as a primary discovery, education, and validation asset

Define principles for:

• Information architecture
• ICP-led journeys
• Product and solution discoverability
• Proof, trust, and credibility signals

Ensure the website supports both self-serve research and sales-assisted buying paths

Guide prioritisation of optimisation initiatives without owning day-to-day execution

4. Distributed & Third-Party Digital Presence

Define the strategy for visibility, consistency, and authority across distributed digital environments, including:

• LinkedIn and social research surfaces
• Analyst and review platforms
• Partner ecosystems and marketplaces

Ensure consistency of messaging, proof points, and positioning across third-party sites

Identify and address gaps where external digital presence undermines discovery, trust, or conversion

5. Measurement, Monitoring & Insight

Define success metrics for digital discovery beyond traffic, including:

• Visibility in AI answers and generative search
• Share of category and solution-level discovery
• Authority, trust, and validation signals
• Journey progression and engagement quality

Monitor performance across owned and third-party assets

Partner with Growth Operations & Intelligence to surface insight, trends, and risk to senior leadership

Use evidence to inform prioritisation and continuous improvement

6. Team Leadership & Capability Development

Lead and develop two digital specialists, setting:

• Clear focus areas and priorities
• Standards for quality and evidence-led decision-making

Ensure team skills remain current as search, AI, and discovery models evolve

Foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and adaptation

What we’re looking for

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in digital marketing, digital strategy, or discovery-focused roles within a B2B, SaaS, or complex services environment
• At least 1 year in an AI‑discovery focussed role, optimising for AI-driven search, generative platforms, answer engines, or AI‑mediated buyer journeys
• Proven experience owning or shaping digital discovery strategy across search, website, social, AI-powered research tools, and third‑party platforms
• Strong understanding of SEO, AEO, GEO, and how content, structure, metadata, and authority signals influence both human buyers and AI systems
• Experience defining the strategic evolution of a corporate website as a discovery, education, and validation asset
• Evidence-led approach, with experience defining and using meaningful discovery and visibility metrics beyond traffic and rankings
• Track record of effective cross-functional collaboration with Marketing, Content, Product, Commercial, and Operations teams
• Experience leading or mentoring specialists, setting standards and building capability in evolving digital disciplines

Desirable experience

• Experience in legal technology or professional services B2B markets
• Experience with Pardot
