[Hiring] Director of GTM Operations @Fairmarkit

Role Description

We’re looking for a strategic, hands-on Director of GTM Operations to lead the systems, processes, and insights that improve sales and marketing performance. You’ll own the operational framework across the full acquisition funnel—from account and prospect targeting, campaign engagement, and lead generation through pipeline creation, opportunity progression, and closed-won revenue.

You’ll partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Business Development, Deal Desk, and Finance leadership to align priorities, improve execution, and build scalable ways of working. You’ll establish clear attribution and measurement frameworks that connect sales and marketing activity to pipeline and revenue, helping leaders make informed investment decisions.

You’ll bring an AI-native approach to operations, embedding AI and automation into how we design workflows, generate insights, and create capacity. Success requires someone who can set direction, influence stakeholders, lead change, and stay close to execution. This role will have one direct report and will align directly with the CFOO.
