• Strong analytical, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to influence decisions and drive outcomes across teams without direct authority.

Responsibilities

• Design and own the integrated go-to-market strategy and launch plan, defining the target audiences, positioning, channels, programs, priorities, resources, milestones, and measures of success required to successfully enter the market and scale.
• Develop and continuously refine the market positioning, messaging, buyer value propositions, competitive differentiation, and supporting tools needed to create awareness, communicate value, and enable the sales motion.

• Build the sales enablement and market-facing resources required to support growth, including objection handling, competitive resources, customer references, case studies, outcome stories, and RFP and procurement support.
• Translate customer, sales, competitive, and market feedback into GTM decisions, using what the team learns to refine messaging, programs, channels, and priorities as the product enters the market.
• Determine the internal and external capabilities needed to execute the GTM strategy; scope, select, brief, and manage agencies, contractors, and other partners while coordinating effectively with key internal stakeholder teams.
• Define the measures and operating rhythm needed to evaluate GTM performance, assess what is and is not working, and recommend where to adjust priorities, resources, channels, or investment.
• Continuously evaluate the overall GTM approach, identify gaps and opportunities, and proactively recommend and implement changes needed to build a repeatable and scalable growth engine.
