Founding GTM Lead
Posted on Oct 20, 2026
As Founding GTM Lead, you'll design and execute the entire go-to-market motion from first touch to signed customer. You'll own the systems, narrative, and execution that turn early demand into a repeatable revenue engine. This is a foundational role where you'll build the GTM playbook from zero and scale it into a predictable machine.
What You'll Do
- Own the full GTM funnel from pipeline generation through customer expansion and retention.
- Run rapid experiments across channels, measure results, and scale what works.
- Build and manage qualified pipeline through both inbound and outbound motions.
- Create and distribute content across LinkedIn, X, blogs, and social platforms.
- Develop strategic partnerships with vendors, startups, and community organizations.
- Orchestrate events, dinners, conferences, and brand moments that drive awareness and relationships.
- Design and execute client and partner gifting programs that deepen loyalty and generate referrals.
- Define positioning, messaging, pricing, packaging, and all sales collateral.
- Build out the GTM tech stack including CRM, sequencing, enrichment, and automation tools.
- Extract insights from customer and performance data to codify repeatable playbooks.
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years at a high-growth startup as a founder or leading GTM, growth, or sales function.
- Demonstrated track record of measurable results in pipeline generation, conversion rates, and revenue.
- Systems-oriented mindset—you think in repeatable motions, not one-off campaigns.
- Comfort building from zero, pressure-testing ideas, and iterating quickly.
- Exceptional organizational discipline and process rigor; you turn messy problems into crisp plans.
- Resilience in the face of setbacks and relentless execution orientation.
- Willingness to work intensively, including weekends and extended hours.
- Engineering background or top-tier competitive achievement is a plus.
