About Us
Verz Design Pte Ltd is a leading web design and digital marketing agency in Singapore, helping businesses grow through integrated strategies across SEO, Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), Paid Media, Email Marketing, Content Marketing and Web Development.
As search evolves beyond traditional search engines into AI-powered discovery and generative search, we are strengthening our capabilities across both SEO and GEO.
We are looking for an experienced SEO & GEO Lead to lead our SEO/GEO team, strengthen our established SEO practice, and contribute to the continued development of our GEO and AI Search capabilities.

You will lead and develop the SEO/GEO team, oversee strategies across a diverse client portfolio, support complex and underperforming campaigns, work closely with Digital Marketing Account Managers, and contribute to client retention, account growth and new business opportunities.
You will also play an important role in evolving our GEO and AI Search capabilities as search behaviour and discovery continue to change.
This is a leadership role requiring strong strategic and technical SEO expertise, people leadership, client-facing ability, analytical thinking and commercial judgement. Hands-on GEO/AEO experience is preferred, but extensive years of formal GEO experience are not required.
