About the Role
A fast-moving, pre-seed generative AI research lab — specializing in human-centric image and video generation for professional creatives — is hiring a Founding GTM Lead to own end-to-end go-to-market execution. This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy founding role: you'll work directly with the founding team to turn cutting-edge AI product capability into commercial traction, shape early customer relationships, and build the repeatable GTM playbook from scratch. The company serves creative industries including gaming, film & VFX, agencies, fashion, and digital human experiences.
What You'll Do
-
Own early go-to-market execution across community, content, partnerships, and targeted outreach.
-
Build and manage relationships with design partners and early customers in creator, studio, and agency segments.
-
Recruit and organize participants for ongoing product research and user testing.
-
Drive early commercial conversations, demos, pilots, and structured feedback channels.
-
Collaborate with product leadership on positioning, messaging, ICP definition, and pricing strategy.
-
Deliver clear, structured market feedback to accelerate product decision-making.
-
Track the competitive landscape of GenAI creative tools, workflows, and evolving user expectations.
-
Represent the company externally with credibility, strong EQ, and confident storytelling.
What We're Looking For
Required:
-
4–8+ years in GTM, partnerships, growth, or client-facing roles at startups or fast-moving environments.
-
Proven experience in at least one motion: B2B partnerships/sales (pilots, early deals) and/or B2C growth (community/creator funnels).
-
3+ years serving professional creatives at creative tools companies, agencies, creator platforms, or production studios.
-
1–2+ years of hands-on exposure to GenAI products and workflows; comfortable using AI tools as part of daily GTM work.
-
Full-cycle sales experience: discovery, demo, negotiation, close, and building CRM/outbound sequences from scratch.
-
Strong customer-facing skills, execution-driven mindset, and ability to operate independently in ambiguous, early-stage settings.
-
Comfortable selling a product still being built; fast-paced communicator who takes ownership well beyond a job description.
Nice to have:
-
Background at a generative AI, creative software, or visual media company (e.g. similar to Runway, Luma AI, Stability AI, Midjourney, Synthesia, or Adobe).
-
Experience launching or scaling a GTM motion at a company with fewer than 20 employees.
-
Familiarity with API-led or developer-facing GTM motions alongside end-user creative workflows.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Salary: $150,000 – $185,000 USD annually
-
Early-stage equity commensurate with a founding team member
-
