Additional Information

Generative Intelligence and Search Ecosystem Analyst In Short The way the world discovers information is undergoing a fundamental shift.

At On, we address this transformation through our "Search Everywhere" initiative. As the Lead - Generative Intelligence and Search Ecosystem Analyst , you will be the primary intelligence architect of On's visibility in this fragmented "Search Everywhere" reality, moving beyond the legacy metrics of keyword rankings and organic traffic to a more holistic understanding of brand authority, entity recall, and AI-driven recommendations. You will lead the insights generation and data-driven recommendations to help ensure On remains the "cited answer" in a world dominated by AI-driven recommendations, generative engines, and decentralized social ecosystems. You will tackle complex, ambiguous challenges by treating Large Language Models (LLMs) as the new search index, ensuring our technical innovations (from CloudTec™ to LightSpray™), product attributes and brand stories are accurately represented and recommended to consumers globally. Your Mission Strategic Vision for Discovery: Own the long-term roadmap for On's visibility across the "Search Everywhere" landscape, moving the organization from tracking rankings to mastering "entity authority" and AI recall.

You have a working knowledge of emerging evaluation frameworks (such as NDCG or RAGAS) and are familiar with the specialized toolkits used to audit LLM responses and brand clarity.
