Go-to-Market (GTM) Lead

About OpStart
OpStart gives startups best-in-class financial operations – accounting, finance, and tax – so founders can focus on growth. We work with early-stage companies backed by top-tier VCs, ensuring their financial infrastructure is built to scale. Our investors include Tim Connors (3x Midas List seed investor), Platform Venture Studio, Elevate Ventures, Singularity Capital, and Connetic Ventures

We’re hiring a GTM Lead to fully own the Growth function. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone ready to build and run growth from the ground up. We’ve hit strong product-market fit, crossed :$2M in ARR, and are growing steadily. To date, growth has come through word-of-mouth and founder-led sales. Now we’re ready to expand our reach and build a repeatable growth engine.

As our first dedicated Growth hire, you’ll shape strategy, acquire new customers, and lay the foundation for scale. This role is ideal for a hands-on operator who wants real ownership now – and the chance to grow into leadership as we scale.

We’re a fast-moving, execution-focused team that values ownership, efficiency, and continuous learning. If you thrive in early-stage environments and love turning strategy into results, you’ll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Own the top of the funnel – drive awareness, generate leads, and nurture interest, while our CEO focuses on closing deals
• Experiment with and optimize paid, organic, referral, and outbound customer acquisition tactics
• Establish and strengthen partnerships with VCs, accelerators, and other ecosystem players to drive referrals
• Develop long-form content, repackage it into smaller tidbits, and optimize it for inbound lead generation
• Build automated and scalable marketing and sales processes
• Create and refine messaging and positioning to resonate with startup founders and investors
• Measure, analyze, and report on growth KPIs, iterating for continuous improvement
• Operate independently in the early months, owning execution across channels – including writing content, building presentations, launching outbound campaigns, and testing new tactics
• Develop a strong understanding of our buyer: typically startup CEOs with high expectations and a $20–25k average annual contract value
• Execute a human-centric approach to marketing that reflects the service-driven nature of our business (i.e., we are not a SaaS or FinTech product, and product-led growth is not applicable for us)
