Backed by world-class investors like Benchmark, Spark Capital, Craft Ventures, Greylock, Y Combinator, and others, we’re looking for exceptional talent to reimagine the way the world works.
The mission of the GTM Operations and Analytics team is to transform how we build revenue engines using AI and automation. Rather than simply adding headcount to solve growth bottlenecks, we focus on designing scalable systems, automated workflows, and AI-powered solutions that amplify the impact of our entire GTM organization. This role bridges the gap between strategic thinking and technical execution - part commercial thinker, part builder.
As an AI and Analytics Associate, your role will range from conducting research that identifies and evaluates key strategic trends in the industry to developing a single point of view on how we operate the business. This role will report to the Senior Manager of GTM Strategy & Analytics, and will partner closely with various stakeholders including but not limited to Finance, Sales and Account Management. This position is based in our San Francisco office (downtown/SOMA near public transit) and follows an onsite work model, requiring in-office presence 5 days a week.
3+ years of experience in analytics, business operations, strategy & operations, management consulting, investment banking, or a high-growth technology startup
Strong analytical foundation, including fluency in Excel / Google Sheets and SQL; experience with Python and BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Mode) is a plus
Interest in, or hands-on experience with, automation platforms and AI tools (e.g., Cursor) and APIs; excited to learn through experimentation
Systems thinker who enjoys designing scalable solutions rather than one-off analyses
Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to distill complex concepts into clear, actionable insights
Highly curious, self-directed, and comfortable learning by tinkering in ambiguous problem spaces
Use SQL and analytics tools to build reliable data foundations and answer critical questions about market dynamics, funnel performance, and growth opportunities.
Develop self-serve dashboards, analyses, and metrics that inform GTM strategy and day-to-day execution.
Design and build AI-powered, end-to-end workflows that automate lead enrichment, routing, qualification, handoffs, and follow-ups across Sales, Marketing, and Account Management.
Leverage AI, no-code, and automation tools to replace manual processes, improve data quality, and increase GTM productivity at scale.
Define, track, and evolve core GTM KPIs to provide a holistic view of performance and attainment.
Partner with stakeholders across Finance, Sales, and Account Management to surface insights, test hypotheses, and support planning, forecasting, and decision-making.
Experience working on a marketplace or a two-sided platform
Experience with dbt or analytics engineering workflows
