The Role

The client is looking for a Founding GTM Strategy & Operations Analyst with 2-4 years of experience to build its go-to-market engine from scratch. You are an analytically minded, high-intensity operator coming from consulting (MBB preferred) or strategy and operations at a high-growth tech company, who wants to break into the startup world and own something meaningful. You will sit at the intersection of product, sales, and marketing, turning what the client builds into narratives, launches, and materials that drive revenue.

Key Responsibilities

Run market research and competitive analysis to shape the client's differentiated positioning across customer segments
Work directly with the sales team to understand objections, customer language, and which segments close fastest, then turn those insights into GTM strategy
Own feature launches end to end, coordinating across product, engineering, sales, and marketing
Tackle high-impact strategic projects such as market expansion, partnerships, and pricing as company needs evolve

Dealbreaker

Experience at MBB consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) or similar firms like Oliver Wyman

Requirements
