GTM AI Engineer
Vena SolutionsTake your entire business from reactive to proactive with the leading AI-Powered Complete FP&A Platform.
• Drive greater efficiency and scalability though the design and implementation of workflows that connect GTM signals (intent, engagement, enrichment, lifecycle events) to outcomes and replace manual, inconsistent processes with standardized, measurable operating patterns. Examples include: - Signal-driven lead/account qualification + routing (e.g., intent + ICP fit → owner/sequence/next best action), with clear SLAs and exception handling. - Research + personalization automation that leverages existing systems and pre-built agent concepts (research agents, prospecting agents, sales↔marketing feedback agents, cross-sell agents) to reduce rep/admin time and improve message quality and consistency. - Partner motion automation tied to partner objects, sourcing taxonomy, and reporting readiness (partner data → dashboards → actions) to improve pipeline attribution and partner execution. • Build and maintain reliable integrations, automations, and data sync patterns across the GTM stack, improving data quality, reducing tool sprawl, and ensuring actions are triggered from trusted signals. • Establish an AI/automation operating cadence for GTM: intake → prioritization → build → QA → release → measure → iterate, with clear owners, SLAs, and documentation to reduce ad hoc requests and rework. • Instrumentation and monitoring for automations/agents (throughput, failure modes, fallbacks, and human-in-the-loop paths) so GTM teams can trust and adopt what’s shipped. • Define and track success metrics for each workflow (time saved, speed-to-lead, conversion lift, pipeline impact, data quality), and partner with Analytics to make results visible in Power BI. • Drive adoption through enablement: stakeholder training, playbooks, change management, and feedback loops that turn prototypes into repeatable, scalable workflows used day-to-day.
