Founding Head of GTM (San Francisco)

A hands-on GTM leader who owns go-to-market and brand as one unified function — strategy, execution, funnel, channels, and narrative. You’ll run the upcoming software launch in late September/early October end to end, while building the early playbook for acquisition and positioning.

This is a player/coach role: you execute directly, guide contractors or future hires, and act as the single owner of GTM.

What You’ll Lead

  • Full GTM strategy: funnel design, beta‑to‑launch sequencing, channel mix, and conversion

  • The late‑Sep/early‑Oct software announcement — strategy, channels, content, delivery

  • Brand narrative, voice, and positioning from scratch

  • Early acquisition funnel: reading conversion by channel, reallocating spend, validating audience

  • Coaching/directing anyone touching GTM; building repeatable systems

Requirements

  • Owned GTM execution and brand/positioning for a startup launch (seed → Series B)

  • Strong consumer background; proven ability to acquire users directly

  • Can plan and run multi‑channel launches and craft narrative that lands

  • Clear command of spend → channel → conversion → outcome

  • Has grown something from zero awareness and zero brand equity

Execution & Ownership

  • Hands-on operator who can grow into leadership

  • Acts as a product partner — raises feature needs, understands what drives sell‑through

  • Comfortable with ambiguity and 0→1 environments

  • Deeply engaged in the space with real, informed opinions

Who Thrives Here

  • A consumer GTM builder who wants to run a major launch end to end

  • Someone who can justify every channel and dollar with outcomes

  • A 0→1 operator ready to be the entire GTM function from day one
