What is a Part-Time GTM Lead?
Quick Definition
A Part-Time GTM Lead is a senior go-to-market professional who works on a reduced schedule—typically 2-4 days per week on an ongoing basis. This arrangement provides consistent GTM leadership while matching your current needs and budget.
Part-Time GTM Leads are ideal for companies that need consistent senior GTM leadership but do not yet require or cannot justify a full-time hire. You get the same calibre of expertise with greater flexibility.
