Introduction

A career in IBM Consulting is built on long-term client relationships and close collaboration worldwide. You’ll work with leading companies across industries, helping them shape their hybrid cloud and AI journeys. With support from our strategic partners, robust IBM technology, and Red Hat, you’ll have the tools to drive meaningful change and accelerate client impact. At IBM Consulting, curiosity fuels success. You’ll be encouraged to challenge the norm, explore new ideas, and create innovative solutions that deliver real results. Our culture of growth and empathy focuses on your long-term career development while valuing your unique skills and experiences.

Your role and responsibilities

We are looking for Consultants to join our growing AI Search & Digital Experience practice. In this client-facing role, you will guide enterprise organizations through the transformation of their digital presence to meet the demands of AI-driven search and next-generation content development. You will serve as a trusted advisor, supporting engagements that span content strategy, technical site architecture, authority building, and AI-powered marketing — helping clients stay competitive as the end to end digital experience fundamentally shifts and content supply chains are transformed.

You are intellectually curious about the shift from keyword-based to AI-driven search and excited to help clients navigate it. You are comfortable operating at both the strategic and tactical level — equally at home presenting a roadmap to a CMO and rolling up your sleeves to review a site's schema markup. You build trust quickly with clients and bring a structured, hypothesis-driven approach to problem-solving. Responsibilities include:

AI Search Strategy & Content Advisory

Consult with clients to assess their current digital and content footprint against the requirements of AI search engines (e.g., Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT Search)
Design content strategies that optimize for AI search retrieval, including answer-layer optimization, topic authority, and semantic content structuring
Guide clients thought building content frameworks and playbooks

Technical Site Architecture & Agent Readiness

Evaluate and redesign site architectures to support AI agent crawling, including structured data implementation (JSON-LD, Schema.org), sitemap optimization etc/
Advise on technical performance requirements – eg. page speed, mobile responsiveness
Lead implementation of entity-based SEO frameworks and knowledge graph strategies

AI-Powered Marketing Content Enablement

Advise clients on building efficient AI-augmented marketing content workflows, including prompt engineering, AI editorial governance, and brand voice consistency
Help clients evaluate and adopt AI content tools that integrate into their existing MarTech stacks
Develop strategies to build client authority across third-party platforms

Client Engagement & Delivery

Own end-to-end client relationships across mid-market and enterprise accounts
Support discovery workshops, present recommendations, and manage project workstreams
Develop client-facing deliverables including audits, roadmaps, frameworks, and playbooks

This role can be performed from anywhere in the US.

Ability to design content architectures optimized for both SEO and AI discoverability — including semantic structuring, topic clustering, and answer-layer optimization
Hands-on experience implementing JSON-LD, Schema.org markup, and entity-based SEO strategies
Strong command of technical site health factors: Core Web Vitals, crawl budget, site architecture, indexation, and performance optimization
Understanding of how AI agents and crawlers navigate and index websites; ability to configure and advise on robots.txt, sitemaps, and structured data for agentic access
Understanding of how third-party authority through digital PR, earned media, citations, and partnerships is built
