Associate AEO Program Director (Associate Delivery Director)

Associate AEO Program Director (Associate Delivery Director)

Foundation is an AI visibility marketing agency that drives pipeline growth for mid-market and enterprise B2B tech and SaaS companies. We help our clients generate pipeline through content engineered to distribute across LLMs, search, social, communities like Reddit, and every channel their buyers actually use.

Mission of the Role

You lead a smaller team: 2–4 people delivering for a book of up to $1.5M, or a specialist team such as Paid or Video. You spend about half your time doing the strategy or channel work yourself and the rest leading the team: the plan, the people and the client’s day-to-day.

This is the role AEO Program Directors grow from.

On our enterprise accounts, AEO Program Directors lead the dedicated team that delivers the work: the plan, the people and the quality. AEO Marketing Directors own the client relationship, the strategic roadmap and the account’s growth. You’re client-facing every week, and the key relationship, renewals and expansions sit with the AEO Marketing Director.

Reports to: a Group AEO Marketing Director or Client Services leadership. Team: 2–4 direct reports.
