Full Time $250,000 - $300,000 / year

Job Overview

We’re hiring a founding GTM Lead to build and scale the commercial engine for a new productized test automation service. The technology and delivery team are in place. What’s missing is a single owner to find the customers, prove the motion, and turn a launched capability into a repeatable revenue engine.

This is a senior individual contributor role with significant autonomy and ownership, designed for an entrepreneurial operator who wants to build a business within a business. You will own this service line the way a founder owns a startup: setting strategy, shaping positioning, leading sales conversations directly, and orchestrating cross-functional teams to deliver results. You’ll have the support of marketing, sales, engineering, and partner/channel resources, but you set the direction.

There is a lot to figure out: ICP, messaging, packaging, pricing, and sales motion are all open questions waiting for the right person to answer them. If that sounds like a problem, this isn’t the role. If it sounds like an opportunity, keep reading.

The upside:
Commission is tied to building this service to $1.5M ARR. For top performers, there is a clear path to expanded scope and leadership as the business grows.

Location:
Remote (U.S.)

Type:
Full-time

Industry:
B2B IT Services, Test Automation Services, Software Quality Assurance

Reports To:
Vice President, Growth

Compensation:
$250k-$300k OTE (50/50 base and variable)

Responsibilities

What You’ll Own

You are accountable for turning a launched capability into a growing, repeatable revenue engine. That means:
  • Direct selling and revenue. Lead consultative sales conversations directly: discovery, solution framing, value/ROI storytelling, objection handling, negotiation, and closing or co-closing. You are the credible voice in the room, not a support player.
  • ICP and repeatable motion. Define, validate, and refine the ideal customer profile and buying triggers. Turn learning into a scalable, documented GTM playbook.
  • Pipeline quality and velocity. Improve conversion rates and sales-cycle efficiency through better messaging, enablement, and qualification.
  • Qualification discipline. Build and enforce a qualification process that prevents downstream delivery surprises: technical barriers, scope mismatches, and unrealistic timelines.
  • Sales and partner enablement. Equip sales and partner teams with assets, training, and an operating rhythm to drive results.
  • Market narrative. Ensure brand, website, and content reflect real customer needs and land with the market.

What You’ll Do

Market and Customer Learning
  • Run continuous customer discovery: win/loss analysis, interviews, and deal-cycle feedback loops.
  • Translate customer insights into clear positioning, messaging, and objection handling.
  • Map the end-to-end buyer journey and identify friction points.


GTM Strategy and Execution
  • Build the GTM plan: ICP, segments, channels, offers, pipeline targets, and quarterly priorities.
  • Partner with marketing to create content that converts—webpages, one-pagers, email sequences, lead magnets, webinars, and case studies.
  • Create and maintain competitive intelligence: battlecards, differentiation, and “why us / why now” narratives.
  • Coordinate partner/channel assets and enablement materials; keep partner initiatives prioritized and accountable.
  • Be a visible face of the offering: present in key customer conversations, partner meetings, webinars, and market-facing moments.

Sales and Deal Support
  • Lead consultative sales directly with prospects and customers, including discovery calls, solution framing, presentations/demos, proposal shaping, objection handling, negotiation, and closing/co-closing.
  • Create talk tracks, discovery questions, qualification checklists, proposal frameworks, and objection responses.
  • Standardize what “good opportunities” look like and help eliminate low-fit pipeline.

Cross-Functional Orchestration
  • Establish a weekly operating cadence across marketing, sales, partner/channel, and engineering.
  • Turn friction points into action plans: define changes, assign owners, track follow-through.
  • Work with engineering to surface recurring delivery blockers and feed them into backlog prioritization.

What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months)

  • ICP clarity: A well-defined ICP with validated segments, triggers, disqualifiers, and a clear “why now.”
  • Repeatable motion: Documented sales/GTM playbook with stages, exit criteria, and assets per stage.
  • Higher quality pipeline: Measurable improvements in lead quality and stage conversion.
  • Fewer delivery surprises: Qualification process adopted and materially reducing technical barrier surprises.
  • Working growth engine: At least 1–2 dependable lead sources producing qualified opportunities consistently.
  • Direct revenue impact: You are personally influencing and closing/co-closing business, demonstrating consultative selling that converts qualified opportunities into revenue.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

Required
  • 5+ years in B2B go-to-market roles that blend strategy and hands-on execution (GTM, growth, market development, product marketing, or program leadership) including direct, customer-facing selling responsibilities.
  • Proven experience building a repeatable B2B go-to-market motion from early stage, not just running campaigns or optimizing an existing engine.
  • Strong customer instincts: can run discovery, synthesize findings, and turn insights into action.
  • Proven consultative B2B sales capability: can lead discovery, build trust quickly, handle objections, and close or co-close deals with annual contract values in the $100K-$200K+ range.
  • Comfort operating cross-functionally with sales, marketing, and engineering, and driving outcomes without direct authority.
  • Ability to create crisp GTM artifacts: positioning documents, battlecards, enablement materials, talk tracks, qualification checklists, and playbooks.
  • Analytical mindset: uses funnel metrics and data to prioritize and measure impact.
  • Strong executive presence and persuasive communication: comfortable presenting to and influencing senior stakeholders and decision-makers.

Preferred
  • Experience with productized services, tech-enabled services, or hybrid product/service offerings.
  • Partner/channel GTM experience: co-sell, enablement, pipeline creation.
  • Experience navigating “in-between” pricing and motion challenges: not product-led growth, not heavy enterprise.
  • Background spanning both larger organizations and early-stage or high-growth companies.
  • Experience selling less brand-driven or highly technical enterprise products where education is part of the sale.
