As our Founding GTM Lead, you’ll work directly with the founders to build our
sales motion from the ground up. You’ll generate pipeline, own deals through
close, and grow existing customer relationships. There’s no fully established
playbook: you’ll help define who we sell to, how we communicate value, and what
makes the motion repeatable.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Generate your own pipeline. Identify promising accounts and buyers, develop

- partners.
- Own the full sales cycle. Lead discovery, build the business case, align
- stakeholders, negotiate commercial terms, and close.
- Turn workshops into signed deals. Take commercial ownership after founder-led
- workshops, establish success criteria and next steps, and navigate security,
- legal, and procurement with support from our team.
- Expand existing accounts. Build relationships beyond the initial champion and
- uncover additional use cases within and across functions.
- Build the playbook with us. Test and refine our ICP, messaging,
- qualification, pricing, and sales process based on what works.
- Connect customer needs to product decisions. Work with founders and
- engineering to scope valuable, achievable opportunities and bring customer
- feedback into product development.
