Founding GTM Architect (Growth Systems Lead)

Job Description

Were hiring a Founding GTM Architect to lead the design and build of our go-to-market systems.

Summary

• Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
• Flexible Time: Can do full-time part-time side-gig (off-hours) or fractional (contract).
• Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term long-term or intermittent.

Why so flexible Were a FUNDED startup racing to launch end of Q2 2026. That gives us just 3 months to stack features while raising additional working capital. Feel free to jump in help us ship then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. Were also interested in long-term side gig relationships if thats what youre intoin our experience a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.

About Us

Were a credible funded remote-first startup led by a serial technical founder backed by a 20-person team. The product is live in private alpha. Learn more at .

About The Role

Were not still hunting for a way to talk to people. We have a massive multi-industry audience existing behavior and clear channelsstrategy and how we show up are defined. The problem now is automation scale and repeatability: turning what works into systems you can run hard without breaking.

This role is about designing and executing the automation layer that powers our go-to-market efforts. Youll work alongside GTM engineers to turn ideas into scalable systemsspending time both in the weeds and stepping back to operationalize what works into repeatable playbooks. You anticipate constraints early (legal technical platform economic) and make smart tradeoffs between speed and durability scale and control. This sits at the intersection of growth and engineeringwhether you started as a builder who learned growth or a growth operator who learned to build.

You will own:

• How our outbound and growth systems are designed and executed
• What is safe scalable and worth investing in
• What risks were not seeing yetand how to get ahead of them

Messaging and overall strategy sit with Marketing and the founderbut how it comes to life at scale is yours.

Done right this is the kind of project that defines a careerand the kind of GTM motion people still reference years later. That only happens if the systems hold up under real load.

Compensation

Up to $350000 max total annual compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated (amount reflects combined cash and equity components).

What Success Looks Like in 30 Days

• Playbooks exist for at least one key motion (e.g. lead sourcing contact follow-up) with clear steps edge cases and handoff points
• Decision frameworks and checklists are in place to evaluate new ideas before we build (compliance platform constraints scalability)
• Youve demonstrated startup speed: ambiguous idea structured workflow documented playbook in days not weeks

What Success Looks Like in 60 Days

• The motion is operating end-to-end key outbound/growth workflows live instrumented and repeatable; not a pilotproduction-ready
• Ready to put money behind it constraints and tradeoffs are explicit; we know what breaks under load and what doesnt; youre confident we can scale spend without blowing up deliverability compliance or the stack
• Playbooks and decision frameworks are the default; Marketing and GTM engineers are running the same sheet of music
• Youve flagged major risks before they surfaced; the team can answer should we build this and what will break without you in every loop

What Youll Do

• Design our systems workflows tools architecture and build decision frameworks (compliance platform constraints scalability) so we move fast without avoidable exposure and evaluate ideas before we build
• Produce and evolve playbooks SOPs checklists and decision trees define sequencing dependencies edge cases for key motions; iterate as systems are tested
• Work alongside Marketing and GTM Engineer surface gaps inconsistencies failure points; ensure workflows are executable by others
• Wire up tools and unblock yourself when something stalls or others arent moving fast enough you jump in: integrations tooling fixesuntil the system runs

What Were Looking For

Must-haves:

• Systems thinker you think in sequences dependencies edge cases; you ask Whats the simplest version and Where will this break
• Constraint and compliance judgment you understand the rules (legal technical platform) their intent and where theres flexibility vs. real risk
• Built and broken things youve built outbound/growth systems end-to-end; youve learned from burned domains banned accounts or similar
• Clear precise communication others can run with your output

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with GTM tools outbound/inbound workflows CRM and automation systems
• Venture-backed startup experience

What Youre NOT

• Not for people who need well-defined requirements you operate with imperfect information
• Not a documentation specialist you design and architect; docs are an output
• Not a people manager we need someone who designs systems deeply not manages people and metrics
