As a reflection of our current needs and planned growth we are very pleased to offer a new opportunity to join our dedicated team as a Local AI-Search Specialist.

Job Description:

The Local AI-Search Specialist owns local maintenance, hygiene, updates, and citations across our brands, and is the connective tissue between on-site local content and the national AI-Search strategy. You partner closely with the merchandising team to keep on-site and off-site (owned) local channels in continuity and parity, so a patient sees a consistent, accurate experience everywhere they look.

You bring local expertise at scale — across multiple brands and locations — and pair it with an AI-forward approach to hygiene, citations, and reporting. You report to the Sr. Manager, AI-Search.

What You'll Do:

• Local maintenance & hygiene. Own the ongoing accuracy, completeness, and hygiene of local listings and profiles across all brands — hours, services, categories, imagery, and other core attributes.
• Citations & distribution. Manage citation building, monitoring, and correction across the leading local data aggregators and distribution channels, keeping business data consistent everywhere it syndicates.
• On-site / off-site parity. Partner with the merchandising team to maintain continuity between on-site local content (location and provider pages) and off-site owned channels, so the patient experience holds together end to end.
• Local content strategy. Play a central role in shaping on-site local content strategy and connecting it to the broader national AI-Search strategy, so local pages reinforce national visibility goals rather than duplicate them.
• Local reporting. Own recurring local performance reporting — visibility, listing health, citation accuracy, and review/reputation trends — for the AI-Search practice and stakeholders across brands.
• Multi-brand scale. Manage local hygiene and strategy across multiple brands, adapting workflows to each brand's footprint while holding one consistent standard.
• AI-informed local practice. Bring AI tools into local workflows where they add scale — hygiene checks, citation monitoring, reporting — while maintaining the accuracy bar patient-facing local data requires.

What You Bring:

• Local search expertise at scale. 3+ years managing local search, listings, or citations across multiple locations or brands.
• Platform fluency. Strong, hands-on command of the most prominent local search management platforms and distribution channels — Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Yelp, Apple Location Listings, Yext, Birdeye, BrightLocal, or similar tools — and how they connect to broader SEO/AI-Search performance.
• Multi-brand / multi-location comfort. Experience operating across many locations or brands at once, with the organizational rigor to keep hygiene consistent at scale.
• Cross-functional coordination. Comfortable partnering daily with merchandising, content, and analytics partners to keep on-site and off-site channels aligned.
• Reporting fluency. Able to build and deliver clear, recurring local performance reporting to stakeholders.
• AI fluency. Direct experience using AI tools to support search or content workflows, with a practical sense of where they add scale and where a human check still matters.
• Patient-first, conversion-oriented mindset. You think about local content and listings in terms of the patient action they drive, not visibility for its own sake.

Annual Salary Range: $70,000-$85,000/year, with a generous benefits package that includes paid time off, health, dental, vision, and 401(k) savings plan with match.
