What We Need

Corpay is hiring a hands-on Director, Go-to-Market Engineering to lead the strategy, delivery, and ongoing evolution of production software, data products, and AI-enabled workflows for Sales and Marketing. This leader will combine first-party and third-party data to improve account prioritization, seller productivity, qualified pipeline, time to productivity, and multi-product adoption.
