AI-powered answers, generative results, and new ad formats are reshaping how people find information and how brands compete for attention. Similarweb sits at the center of that shift, giving marketers the intelligence they need to stay ahead. We're looking for a Solution Business Manager, Search & Ads Intelligence to bring their performance marketing expertise to the next level. This is not a generalist role. We want someone who has lived inside a performance marketing agency or large retailers or eCommerce with hands-on experience managing campaigns across organic and paid channels and can translate that real-world experience into value for our clients. You will partner with sales, account management, and customer success to win deals, deepen adoption, and position Similarweb as the go-to platform for marketers navigating today's complex search and paid media landscape. Also, you will also help shape our product roadmap by feeding market intelligence, your knowledge and client insights back to the product and data teams. If you get excited by keyword gaps, AI-generated search results, messy URLs, bidding strategy, audience overlap, and building custom workflows with AI tools, this role is for you. Why This Role, Why Now The search and paid media landscape is going through its biggest shift in years: • Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) are creating entirely new strategies for organic and paid visibility that most clients are still figuring out. • Paid search, social, display, and affiliate channels are increasingly interconnected, and marketers need unified intelligence to allocate budgets effectively. • AI tools are changing how campaigns are built, optimized, and reported on, and the practitioners who know how to work with them are already pulling ahead. • Our clients need someone who can speak their language, understand their challenges, and show them how Similarweb solves problems they deal with every day. What You'll Do Your core focus is being the subject matter expert that clients and internal teams turn to when they need a real practitioner's perspective on search and paid media. Client & Revenue Impact • Partner with sales and account management to support deal cycles, RFPs, and renewal conversations, bringing hands-on practitioner credibility to every client interaction. • Run discovery sessions to understand clients' channel mix, budget allocation, and competitive challenges across SEO, AEO/GEO, Paid Search, Paid Social, Display, and Affiliate. • Build tailored use case demos and data stories that speak directly to performance marketers, media planners, and agency strategists. • Identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts by surfacing unmet needs across the client's full marketing stack.

Paid Media Intelligence • Advise clients on competitive paid media strategy across Paid Search (SEM/PPC), Paid Social, Programmatic Display, AEO advertising, and Affiliate channels using Similarweb data. • Help clients benchmark ad spend, identify competitor keyword bidding patterns, analyze share-of-voice, and uncover channel gaps across the competitive landscape. • Connect organic and paid search insights to help clients make smarter cross-channel budget decisions and reduce wasted spend. • Support client and internal teams in suggesting or building client-facing reports and competitive audits powered by Similarweb data.
