About Relixir

Relixir is the content DB for AI search, helping 40+ B2B companies create and serve content for LLMs. We're Berkeley alums and one of the fastest growing companies from YC X25 batch.

About the role

Role Overview

This is not a traditional Customer Success role.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll embed directly with customers and own outcomes — not just relationships.

You will actively operate Relixir for customers:
driving content strategy, identifying opportunities, launching campaigns, and improving AI search visibility.

You are part strategist, part operator, part consultant.


What You’ll Do

  • Own end-to-end success for a portfolio of enterprise and mid-market customers
  • Embed with customer teams (marketing, growth, SEO) as a trusted operator
  • Develop and execute GEO (AI search) and content strategies using Relixir
  • Identify keyword gaps, AI visibility opportunities, and competitive insights
  • Launch and optimize content across customer CMS environments
  • Monitor performance across AI search platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews)
  • Translate insights into actionable strategies that drive traffic, leads, and revenue
  • Drive adoption of Relixir across customer teams and workflows
  • Identify expansion opportunities and partner with sales to grow accounts
  • Capture customer feedback to influence product roadmap
  • Build case studies and success stories from real outcomes

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–6 years in SEO, growth, content marketing, or customer success
  • Strong understanding of SEO, content strategy, or demand generation
  • Ability to turn data into actionable insights and execution plans
  • Highly proactive — you don’t wait for instructions, you drive outcomes
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Comfortable working directly with enterprise customers
  • Analytical and metrics-driven mindset

Nice to Have

  • Experience in B2B SaaS or martech
  • Familiarity with SEO tools (Ahrefs, SEMrush, GSC, etc.)
  • Experience with content production or CMS platforms
  • Exposure to AI search, LLMs, or prompt engineering
  • Agency or consulting background

Why Relixir

  • Own customer outcomes — not just check-ins
  • Work directly with founders and product team
  • Be on the frontlines of a new category (AI search / GEO)
  • High impact role tied directly to revenue and expansion
  • Equity in a high-growth, YC-backed startup
  • Build expertise in one of the fastest-growing areas in marketing

Who This Is For

This role is for someone who wants to:

  • Actually drive results (traffic, pipeline, revenue), not just manage accounts
  • Work directly with customers and influence strategy
  • Operate at the intersection of AI, content, and growth
  • Be early at a company defining a new category

If you want a traditional CSM role focused on check-ins and renewals, this isn’t it.
If you want to build, operate, and drive impact, this is.
