You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Product, to inform and refine our GTM approach.

What You’ll Do: • Analyze GTM Performance and evaluate the effectiveness of various sales and marketing channels, campaigns, and initiatives to identify key drivers of customer acquisition and retention. • Create models to forecast sales trends, customer lifetime value, and churn, enabling proactive adjustments to GTM strategies. • Develop and utilize clustering and segmentation techniques to identify distinct customer groups, tailoring GTM strategies to each segment. • Work closely with Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Product teams to provide data-driven recommendations that enhance lead generation, conversion rates, and overall revenue. • Analyze pricing strategies and product offerings to determine optimal configurations that maximize market penetration and profitability. • Design and implement experiments to test the impact of different GTM tactics, ensuring continuous improvement and learning. • Develop and maintain dashboards that track key GTM metrics, providing transparency and actionable insights to stakeholders.
