Job Summary

Own go-to-market strategy for frontier AI innovations and lead cross-functional GTM initiatives from strategy to launch, translating technical capabilities into clear market narratives for researchers, developers, and industry leaders.

  • Shape positioning, narratives, and launch plans for advanced AI models.
  • Coordinate multi-disciplinary teams to move high-profile initiatives from concept to market.
  • Translate complex research into compelling messages for technical audiences.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shape go-to-market strategy for frontier AI innovations, developing the positioning, narratives, launch strategies, and execution plans that bring highly technical research and model capabilities to market.
  • Own complex GTM workstreams from strategy through execution, bringing structure and momentum to high-profile initiatives where the path forward may still be taking shape.
  • Develop a sophisticated understanding of the AI and model landscape, including emerging research directions, model releases, capabilities, benchmarks, competitive developments, and broader industry dynamics.
  • Translate technical complexity into compelling market narratives, connecting what a technology can do with why it matters to researchers, developers, technical communities, industry leaders, and other highly informed audiences.
  • Use market and competitive intelligence to inform strategy, identifying meaningful differentiation and turning insights into actionable recommendations for positioning and go-to-market decisions.
  • Partner directly with highly technical teams, including researchers and engineers, to understand evolving capabilities, model evaluations, benchmarks, and technical advancements while they are still being developed.
  • Bring an independent point of view. You’ll be expected not only to synthesize information, but to evaluate it, challenge assumptions, identify opportunities, and recommend how emerging technologies should show up in the market.
  • Lead across functions without relying on formal authority, aligning stakeholders across research, product, engineering, design, communications, creative, and marketing around shared launch strategies and outcomes.
  • Operate effectively at speed, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution as priorities, information, and market conditions evolve.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in Product Marketing, Product Strategy, Go-to-Market, or closely related work, with significant ownership of complex product or technology launches.
  • Demonstrated experience developing and executing go-to-market strategies for highly technical, emerging, or category-defining products.
  • Strong fluency in AI, machine learning, developer technologies, cloud platforms, technical infrastructure, or another complex technology environment. Direct experience with generative AI, AI models, or AI research is highly valued.
  • Experience partnering closely with product, engineering, research, or other deeply technical teams, with the ability to quickly build credibility and communicate effectively with technical experts.
  • The ability to understand technical capabilities, competitive signals, benchmarks, and market dynamics and translate them into clear positioning and strategic recommendations.
  • Experience developing narratives and messaging for sophisticated technical audiences, such as researchers, developers, engineers, technical decision-makers, or industry experts.
  • A track record of independently leading complex, cross-functional GTM initiatives from early strategy through launch and execution.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to synthesize complexity and influence senior stakeholders.
  • Strong program leadership and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple interconnected workstreams in a rapidly changing environment.

Preferred

  • You’re intellectually curious and genuinely excited by what is happening at the frontier of AI and technology.
  • You’re comfortable entering a situation where the answer is not already known. Rather than waiting for a playbook, you ask the right questions, develop a perspective, and help create one.
  • You can move easily between strategy and execution. You’re equally comfortable evaluating a competitive landscape, debating positioning with senior stakeholders, digging into technical details with an engineer, and driving the many moving pieces required to bring something successfully to market.
  • You’re highly collaborative but independently driven. You know when to bring people together, when to push for clarity, and when to simply take ownership and move.
  • Most importantly, you enjoy environments where the technology, competitive landscape, and priorities are evolving quickly. Pace and ambiguity sharpen your thinking rather than slowing you down.
