Senior Product Manager SEO 

Shape how millions of customers discover bol in search, AI and conversational engines 

How do you make our customers happy?  

By ensuring 13.5 million customers can find bol wherever and however they search - from Google, Social to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot. As Senior Product Manager Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), you lead the evolution from traditional, keyword‑based SEO to conversational, AI‑driven discovery. You are responsible for the product and technical foundations that power organic growth across Search Engines, LLMs and emerging discovery platforms. Together with a dedicated team of backend engineers, and in close partnership with the SEO Marketing team, you will build scalable capabilities that defend and grow organic traffic and GMV in a rapidly changing search landscape. SEO is a strategically critical topic with strong leadership visibility. You play a key role in safeguarding bol’s relevance as customer behaviour shifts and zero‑click & AI‑mediated journeys increase. 

The biggest challenge  

Customer behaviour is changing fundamentally: 

• From keywords to natural language & conversational search 

• From clicks to answers, recommendations and agentic journeys 

• From page‑level ranking to structured, trustworthy, machine‑readable content 

At the same time, SEO traffic is always under pressure from changes of our Partners like Google, Bing and now also AI Overviews and LLMs. Without continued innovation, organic performance declines. Your challenge is to keep building future‑proof SEO & GEO capabilities that: 

• Scale across millions of pages and feeds 

• Work across Google, AI search, LLMs and social discovery 

• Balance short‑term GMV defense with long‑term AI readiness 

This requires strong stakeholder management, deep collaboration across Product, Tech and Marketing, and a test‑and‑learn mindset grounded in real data.
