About Foundation Foundation helps B2B tech and Saa S brands get found, cited and recommended when their buyers ask AI for solutions.
We do it through Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): the research, content, distribution and optimization that build a brand's presence across LLMs, search, Reddit, You Tube and the sources they draw on.
The role You own a book of $1.5–2.5M across three to six B2B tech and Saa S clients, sometimes including a $500k+ anchor.
For each one you own the relationship, the strategic roadmap, the renewal, the growth and the margin.
Clients see you as the person who knows their business and where their program should go next.
This isn't a people-management role, though you'll mentor Associate AEO Marketing Directors.
On our enterprise accounts, AEO Marketing Directors own the client relationship, the strategic roadmap and the account's growth.
AEO Program Directors lead the dedicated team that delivers the work, and work with the client every week alongside you.

Renewals, started 90+ days before contract end and signed before the final 30 days.
Expansion. You find, price and close new scope, using the AEO Program Director's sizing.

Client health. You flag risk early and run the recovery with the AEO Program Director.
What you bring
7+ years in agency account leadership, client services or marketing strategy.
A book of $1M+ that you've owned, with renewals and expansions you personally closed.
Experience managing client budgets, margins and scope.
