Execute full GTM for 2-3 major product releases with integrated campaigns across LinkedIn, email, and direct sales outreach

Scale sales enablement: create battle cards, objection handlers, and ROI calculators that improve win rates by 15%+

Is This Role For You?
- You've run end-to-end marketing campaigns (LinkedIn, newsletters, events, sales collateral) and can prove pipeline impact
- You thrive owning entire functions solo and building systems/processes from 0→1
- You understand B2B SaaS GTM, enterprise sales cycles, and how to position category-defining products
- You have domain expertise or genuine curiosity about insurance/financial services verticals
- You want founder-level exposure, equity upside, and the ability to shape company narrative from day one
- You need a large, structured team immediately or prefer hands-off strategic-only roles
- You're not comfortable with ambiguity, rapid pivots, or wearing multiple hats (product marketing + sales enablement + events)
- You want a fully remote setup-this is on-site in NYC
- You lack B2B SaaS or enterprise marketing experience; you'll sink without GTM fundamentals

Case Study/Work Sample
Walk through a past campaign you owned (messaging, collateral, results); discuss how you'd approach insurance market GTM
