About The Position

Otto is an AI-powered sales platform built for independent commercial insurance producers. We help agencies identify the right prospects, understand risk faster, and match business to the right carriers, all in one product. We're early-stage, growing fast, and looking for our first customer-facing hire to help us scale. The Opportunity Step into a foundational GTM role and own how Otto reaches, converts, and grows a market of thousands of independent commercial insurance agencies across the US. You will work alongside the founding team to drive acquisition, build the GTM playbook from scratch, and ensure the customers you bring in stay and expand. This is a hands-on execution-first role with ownership and direct impact on how Otto grows.

Requirements

GTM Builder: You have 4-6 years of owning GTM execution at an early-stage B2B SaaS or insurtech company, ideally PLG. You've managed GTM elements before, including outbound campaigns, CRM and enrichment tools like Attio or Clay, and know how to move a funnel from zero. You don't wait for a playbook, you write it.
Customer-Obsessed Operator: You understand that GTM doesn't stop at the close. You know how to build trust with customers, turn early adopters into long-term advocates, and spot churn before it happens.
AI-Native: You use AI tools to build workflows around them. You are always looking for ways to do more with less and bring that mindset to everything you touch.
Self-Directed and Adaptable: You thrive in ambiguous, 0-to-1 environments. You will create repeatable playbooks.

Iterate Fast: Test and refine messaging, sequencing, and targeting as you learn what resonates with independent insurance agencies.
