We partner closely with Product, Sales, Success, Data Science, Finance, and Marketing to define and execute go-to-market strategies for new product launches, commercialization models, customer growth initiatives, and market expansion opportunities.

  • Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Operations to align on priorities and execute against business goals.
  • Evaluate business performance and recommend adjustments to GTM strategy based on data, customer insights, and market dynamics.

  • Possess a deep understanding of B2B GTM operating models across Sales, Success, Product, Marketing, and Operations.
  • Have demonstrated success leading complex cross-functional initiatives that span strategy, operations, and execution.
  • Are equally comfortable defining long-term strategic direction and diving into operational details to ensure execution excellence.
