Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built or scaled enterprise growth engines and obsess over pipeline quality over vanity metrics
  • You own the full funnel (outbound, ABM, inbound, product marketing) and can operate hands-on while building teams
  • You thrive with direct C-level access and want real revenue ownership, not just marketing theater
  • You're comfortable in Sales-driven cultures and can align competing priorities across Sales, Marketing, and Product
  • You think in systems: attribution, cadences, definitions, and repeatable playbooks
Won't Work If
  • You're a demand-gen specialist or brand marketer uncomfortable owning full pipeline and revenue metrics
  • You need a large, established team; this role requires rolling up sleeves and doing core work yourself initially
  • You prefer reporting to a Chief Revenue Officer or CMO rather than direct CEO exposure and accountability

Interview Process

1

Phone screen

Recruiter or CEO screens for growth engine building experience, enterprise GTM background, and ownership mentality

2

Founder/CEO conversation

Deep dive on your approach to pipeline architecture, attribution, Sales-Marketing alignment, and how you'd diagnose current state

3

Sales leadership interview

VP/Head of Sales assesses your ability to work cross-functionally and understand sales velocity, territory planning, and meeting quality

4

Take-home or case study

Design a 90-day growth plan for ShipScience given their current stage (likely includes audit, quick wins, and long-term playbook)
