The Opportunity

We’re looking for a hands-on GTM leader to partner directly with the CEO to shape and execute our go-to-market strategy. You’ll work across sales, marketing, and partnerships to identify the highest-impact growth levers, run experiments, and turn customer insights into a sharper, repeatable GTM motion. This is not a traditional VP of Sales or Head of Marketing role, it’s a unique chance to build the playbook before scaling the team.

What You'll Do

• GTM strategy & experimentation — Design and run experiments across outbound, inbound, partnerships, events, and other growth channels.

• Customer & market insights — Join key sales calls, conferences, and meetups to deeply understand customer needs and feed insights back to sales and product.

• Messaging & positioning — Sharpen our ICP definition and value proposition; ensure content and campaigns speak directly to our target buyers.

• Partnerships & co-sell — Identify and build strategic alliances with GPU/cloud providers, integrators, and AI ecosystem players.

• Demand generation — Work with our AE, technical writer, and content team to produce relevant campaigns and improve lead quality.

• Sales playbook evolution — Collaborate with the AE to refine outbound scripts, qualification criteria, and follow-up processes based on experiment results.

You Might Be a Fit If You

• Have worked in GTM, growth, partnerships, or sales at an early-stage B2B startup, ideally in AI, infra, or developer tools.

• Are comfortable moving between strategy and execution. You can both design a GTM experiment and own running it.

• Have the curiosity to dive into technical products and speak credibly with technical decision makers.

• Thrive in ambiguity and know how to create clarity from loose signals.

• Have experience building partnerships and/or creating new sales motions from scratch.

Why This Role Is Exciting

• You’ll shape the GTM foundation of a high-growth AI infra startup at the forefront of enterprise AI adoption.

• Direct access to the CEO and influence over both product and market strategy.

• High degree of autonomy. Freedom to design experiments, test channels, and double down on what works.

• Opportunity to grow into a C-level GTM leadership role as the company scales.
