We weave AI into the fabric of everything we do and use it to augment the impact every individual can have. If you are passionate about solving real-world problems and ideating beside the best and the brightest, we invite you to join us!
We believe collaboration thrives in person. That’s why most of our teams work from the office full time, with flexibility when it’s needed. This model supports real-time problem-solving, stronger relationships, and the kind of precision that drives great outcomes.
You will lead GTM for key products in Network Security. You will work in close partnership with sales, product and other GTM leaders in the organization to solve complex strategy and GTM challenges that are top-of-mind for our executives.
We are looking for a seasoned GTM expert who can help us achieve ambitious growth objectives. You possess a unique blend of business strategy experience, big-picture thinking, and influencing skills. This is a leadership role with a broad scope and team management responsibility. We need a talented leader who likes to “roll up their sleeves", has a transformative mindset, and demonstrates reliable judgment.
Your Impact
Lead the development of winning GTM strategies and drive key growth initiatives to unlock business growth acceleration

Design Go-To-Market programs/ sales plays for Network Security e.g., takeout programs, net new logo plays, channel acceleration motions, pipe gen plays
Collaborate across a cross-functional set of stakeholders (Sales, Sales Ops, Finance, Product, Marketing) to execute GTM initiatives - gather the right information, pressure test your hypothesis, co-create deliverables, launch plays, and track value
Navigate cross-business priorities and influence high-stakes decisions
Lead and support strategic GTM presentations for E-Staff, Board of Directors, and others on behalf of our GTM leaders.
Drive change and be willing to wear multiple hats (strategy development, project management, and execution) to do what it takes to move from ideation to execution
Provide systematic support & analysis for priorities (e.g., deal inspection, competitive teardowns, narrative rewrite, and enablement)
Identify opportunities and gaps in the business to increase awareness, propose solutions/choices, and develop programmatic responses
Support strategy/business planning processes and assist with developing strategic capabilities across the organization
Act as an advisor and sounding board for the senior product and GTM leaders

10+ years of relevant experience with at least 6+ years in top management consulting, private equity, top-tier tech strategy / “bizops” functions or GTM programs

GTM Strategy & Operations experience is preferable
Deep understanding of typical enterprise tech business models and GTM strategies across Field Sales, Indirect Sales, Shared Services, and Marketing

Bias-for-action and execution mindset needed to deliver business objectives
Experience managing projects and large-scale transformations
Great teammate, willing to passionately roll up their sleeves and work cross-functionally to get things done
