✍🏽 About Writer

AI your people will love. That's our vision, and it contains multitudes :-)

AI

your people

will love.

We're filling a big need for generative AI built ground-up for the needs of enterprises and embraced by their teams. As generative AI became a board-level initiative almost overnight for most enterprises, our market matured dramatically and we benefit from that tailwind. Our product is highly differentiated, our roadmap is transformative, and our customers are happy and vocal.

📐 About this role

We are looking for an execution-oriented leader to help us own and scale our marketing and partner operations function as we look to rapidly build the best enterprise demand generation engine in AI. You’ll operate as the primary strategic and operational partner to our marketing and partnerships leaders, helping them build a repeatable GTM motion that helps accelerate revenue growth.

You’ll be managing a team of full-time employees and contractors that’ll help you execute the day-to-day activities. However, you’ll still need to roll up your sleeves and do the work. You’ll work alongside the original team who's built all of the initial infrastructure, who can help you onboard, and provide context on current state, and can work alongside you in the trenches.

Lastly, our ideal candidate is comfortable relying on unconventional ways to scale out an ops team, right-sized for 2024 SaaS operating efficiency expectations. You’ll rely on automation, AI, systems, documentation, contractors, and high-performance teams to do 3x more than other comparable revenue ops orgs. It’ll be challenging, but you’ll be pioneering the future state of marketing operations in SaaS.

What’s in it for you

It’s an incredibly dynamic role — you’ll jump from highly stimulating topics that span high-level GTM strategy, roadmaps, and execution plans. You’ll lead key projects that are directly tied to impact. 

You’ll work on a team that gives you a high degree of autonomy, trusts your intuition, and invests in your growth. We're action and impact oriented. We value high-quality execution and strive to create a working environment that allows you to move fast and learn. 

You’ll work with a manager who also “shovels dirt” and rolls up their sleeves to get work done; they’ll have “done it before” and so will have a deeper empathy for your day-to-day. Your manager will also provide context and visibility, allowing you to build deeper relationships and intuition that’ll help you scale out your impact. 

For someone self-motivated and with a problem-solving mindset, you’ll find a greenfield opportunity. You’ll own and scale ‌a marketing & partner operations function that's one of the best in SaaS. There'll be opportunities to build horizontally through cross-functional initiatives as well as vertically as you become a trusted advisor across revenue leadership.
