The Challenge

Listen Labs is a Sequoia-backed AI research platform that hit $14M ARR in under a year. You'll own the entire technical GTM engine—from data pipelines and SDR enablement to outbound automation—working directly with the Head of Growth to scale from hypergrowth to predictable, repeatable revenue.

Your Mission

First 3 Months
1

Audit and optimize current GTM tech stack (CRM, sequencing, enrichment, intent data); recommend consolidations and upgrades to reduce tool sprawl and improve data flow

2

Build ICP model and account scoring framework that segments Listen's enterprise pipeline (Google, Microsoft, Nestlé, P&G) by intent and fit signals

3

Design and deploy outbound data pipeline: prospect enrichment automation, lead routing logic, and SDR-facing dashboards to track reply rates and pipeline contribution in real-time

4

Create SDR playbook and enablement toolkit (sequences, messaging, call scripts) grounded in win/loss analysis and validated through A/B testing

By 6 Months
1

Scale outbound motion: hit 2-3x reply rate lift and 20%+ improvement in sales-qualified lead conversion through experimentation and tooling optimization

2

Build predictive analytics layer: implement lead scoring model that correlates account attributes to win probability and contract value for better targeting efficiency

3

Establish GTM metrics dashboard: real-time visibility into outbound pipeline, sales cycle velocity, and revenue contribution by channel; enable data-driven decision-making across Growth, Sales, and Product

4

Reduce GTM tool complexity and cost while improving data integrity: consolidate redundant tools, enforce clean data hygiene, and document all integrations and workflows

KPIs You'll Own

Percentage of cold outreach that receives a response; track by sequence, SDR, and account segment.

Sales-Qualified Lead (SQL) Conversion Rate

Percentage of SDR-qualified leads that convert to active sales opportunities.

Account Scoring Lift

SDR Efficiency (Touches per SQL)

Average number of outreach touches required to generate one SQL; lower is better.

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built or scaled outbound motions from scratch and own the technical infrastructure—data pipelines, automation, analytics—not just the playbooks
  • You're equally comfortable with SQL queries and strategic GTM conversations; you don't shy away from getting hands-on when needed
  • You thrive in ambiguity early-stage startups: ListenLabs is hypergrowth, so systems you build will need to evolve fast as the company scales
  • You're obsessed with metrics and experimentation; you measure everything and use data to drive continuous improvement in reply rates, conversion, and pipeline quality
  • You want to work with strong technical founders and a world-class team where decisions are grounded in rigor and outcomes matter more than politics
Won't Work If
  • You're a traditional 'RevOps admin' who executes playbooks but doesn't design systems or own technical infrastructure; this role requires building, not just maintaining
  • You prefer stability and clear processes over fast iteration and frequent pivots; early-stage hypergrowth means constant change and ambiguity
  • You need significant hand-holding or prefer roles where success is defined by one narrow metric (e.g., just SDR productivity); this role spans strategy, analytics, tooling, and enablement

Interview Process

1

Screening call

Chat with Head of Growth about your GTM operations background, tech stack experience, and what excites you about Listen Labs

2

Technical deep-dive

Design case study: walk through how you'd build an ICP model, data pipeline, and outbound system for a hypothetical B2B SaaS company; show your thinking on tool selection and metrics

3

Founder conversation

Meet with founder(s) to discuss company vision, GTM strategy, and how you'd approach scaling the outbound motion from current state to $XXX ARR

4

Reference checks

Speak with past managers or teammates about your execution style, technical depth, and impact on GTM systems
