Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Independently lead multiple high-complexity, cross-functional GTM initiatives that drive acquisition, adoption, expansion, and retention across brightwheel’s Education and Curriculum products.
  • Own priority Education GTM initiatives and new go-to-market motions end-to-end—from identifying the opportunity and defining the audience and positioning through channel strategy, sales enablement, launch, and performance measurement.
  • Identify new growth opportunities using customer insights, performance data, and market trends, then develop the strategy and business case to bring them to market.

  • Communicate progress, insights, and recommendations clearly to working teams, senior leaders, and executive stakeholders while balancing near-term revenue opportunities with long-term business and customer needs

Requirements

  • Built 7+ years of experience across go-to-market strategy, growth, marketing, business operations, strategy and operations, or a related function, preferably in a high-growth or startup environment.
  • Led multiple complex, ambiguous, cross-functional GTM, growth, or business operations initiatives from strategy through execution and measurement.
  • Independently determined how to achieve defined business goals with limited instruction or supervision and delivered measurable results.
  • Built and executed programs that drove meaningful improvements in revenue, conversion, acquisition, adoption, expansion, retention, or operational performance.
  • Used quantitative and qualitative insights to structure complex problems and develop sound strategic recommendations.

Preferred

  • A track record of taking GTM initiatives from rough ideas to launched, measured programs—more than once—with meaningful incremental revenue, customers, or adoption to show for it.
  • Experience building a GTM function, motion, or playbook from scratch rather than solely optimizing an established one.
  • A demonstrated habit of using AI to automate recurring workflows out of your own hands and create processes that can run consistently without you.
  • The range to move from a working session with a sales representative to a strategy conversation with an executive in the same day, adapting your communication style and level of detail to each audience.
  • A customer-first mindset and enthusiasm for solving meaningful problems for educators, administrators, and families.
