About The Position

Sprout Social is looking to hire a Director of GTM Systems and Applied AI to lead our Revenue Operations systems function. In this role, you will lead a team to own the non-Salesforce tech stack and drive our GTM AI roadmap, engineering, and Center of Excellence governance. This is a hands-on-keyboard leadership role; you will personally build and prototype AI workflows alongside your engineers, rather than just directing them. At Sprout Social, our Sales and Customer Experience team is the driving force behind how today’s most innovative brands use Sprout to power the future of customer connection. We sell and support the leading social intelligence platform for businesses, helping organisations unlock the full value of social data to drive strategic decisions. Through powerful social intelligence and trusted partnership, we enable teams to build authentic relationships and drive meaningful business impact. As the strategic engine of our go-to-market organization, Revenue Operations builds the infrastructure that turns data into action. We specialize in architecting world-class processes and delivering the operational clarity that allows our teams to move with speed, anticipate market shifts, and optimize the entire customer lifecycle for sustainable growth. In this role, you will collaborate with the brightest minds in the industry to support global giants like Salesforce, Airbnb, and Equifax. Just as importantly, we believe in the power of our people. You’ll find a culture that honors your ambition, encourages you to explore new horizons, and provides the framework for you to build a career that matters. If you’re ready to champion innovation and accelerate your impact, this is where you can do your best work.
