Senior Product Manager, AI Search Growth (SEO/GEO)

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, built to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Our products help people make powerful connections, discover exciting opportunities, build necessary skills, and gain valuable insights every day. We’re also committed to providing transformational opportunities for our own employees by investing in their growth. We aspire to create a culture that’s built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun – where everyone can succeed.

Join us to transform the way the world works.

This role will be based in Sunnyvale / Mountain View, San Francisco, CA, or Seattle, WA.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager on the Core Growth team to lead LinkedIn’s AI Search Growth workstream. This is a unique opportunity to own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for how LinkedIn content is discovered across traditional search engines and emerging AI-powered answer platforms. In this high impact, high visibility role, you’ll have a direct line of sight to driving critical company metrics such as DAU and sessions by shaping one of LinkedIn’s largest external acquisition channels.

You’ll operate as a full-stack product builder, owning everything from problem definition and roadmap through execution, launch, and iteration. You’ll work with fully staffed engineering and cross-functional teams to strengthen LinkedIn’s SEO foundations and advance our GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategy, ensuring our content is surfaced, cited, and trusted in AI-mediated search experiences. You’ll also own the go-to-market (GTM) alignment with Marketing, Editorial, International, and additional partners to drive durable, global growth.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in adapting LinkedIn’s growth strategy to an evolving AI search ecosystem while advancing our mission to create economic opportunity for every professional around the world.
