About Fora

Fora is the modern travel agency, empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs to build thriving travel advisory businesses. We're modernizing the $100B+ travel industry with AI woven through every part of the advisor's workflow, plus global supplier relationships, personalized training, and a vibrant community, all in one place. That's what lets advisors build businesses that scale, while their taste and service create trips no algorithm alone could plan. At the heart of it all is our mission: to help the next generation of travel entrepreneurs turn their love for travel into a fulfilling career, whether full-time or part-time.

We're mission-driven and obsessed with our customers, and we believe humans and AI are both essential: the best work here comes from people and technology at their best, together. That's not just a philosophy about our product, it's how we build our team. Everyone at Fora gets hands-on with frontier AI tooling as part of the job. At Fora, you'll learn to be AI-fluent, with real experience applying AI to solve problems day to day, wherever you sit in the company. 

Founded in 2021, Fora has grown to a team of 250+ full-time employees based in downtown New York City. In 2026, we closed a $60 million Series D led by Forerunner and Tactile Ventures, with continued backing from Thrive Capital, Insight Partners, and Heartcore Capital. We've been named a LinkedIn Top Startup (2024), one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies (2023 and 2025), and one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies (2026).

About the Role

Organic search is already one of Fora’s largest acquisition channels and represents a significant opportunity for future growth. As AI transforms how people discover information, Fora is investing in both traditional SEO and the emerging discipline of generative engine optimization to ensure the company remains visible wherever travelers and future advisors seek trusted guidance.

As the Director, SEO/GEO, you will define and execute Fora’s organic search strategy across both traditional search engines and AI powered discovery platforms. You will build the technical foundation, experimentation framework, and scalable systems that drive sustainable growth while helping shape how Fora appears across the evolving search landscape.

This is a hands on individual contributor role for an experienced technical specialist who enjoys building as much as strategizing. You will partner closely with Content, Product, Engineering, Brand, Analytics, Marketing, Finance, and external partners to develop scalable systems, automate workflows, and rapidly test new approaches as search continues to evolve. While Fora may leverage agency support to accelerate execution, this role will own the long term vision, strategy, and technical direction for SEO and GEO.
