Founding GTM (Sales/Operations)

Autostep • San Francisco, CA

6d • Hybrid

About The Position

Autostep measures outcomes from human and AI work, identifies what companies should change, and helps make that change happen. We have real customer pull. Your job is to expand that demand, set qualified meetings, help create exceptional outcomes for the customers already working with us, and put structure around everything required to make that happen. This is not a strategy-and-slides Chief of Staff role. You’ll work across GTM and operations, alongside the CEO who closes deals. A major part of your job will be outbound prospecting and setting qualified meetings with mid-market and enterprise companies.

Requirements

• A history of personally driving outcomes, not just advising other people on what to do.
• Ability to identify the right audience, develop the message, build the list, and execute high-quality personalized outbound across channels . You can write outreach by hand when personalization matters, use tools like Instantly or Smartlead when scale matters, pick up the phone when that is the best channel, use LinkedIn effectively, run the experiment, and understand the result.
• Ability to take something disorganized and turn it into a clear, executable plan.
• Ability to take scattered information across conversations, documents, tools, and people and turn it into a clear system of record that stays current .
• Comfort talking to executives and customers, with the judgment to ask concise, relevant questions, probe when needed, and actually listen to the answer.
• Hands-on experience building automations and agents.
• Enough technical curiosity to learn deeply about AI, ML, LLMs, agents, and automation while remaining commercially oriented.
• Strong judgment, unusually high learning rate, great communicator, and enough independence that every problem does not come back to the CEO.

Responsibilities

• Prospect consistently: research companies and people, build lists, develop campaigns and copy, run personalized outbound across channels , follow up, and set qualified meetings for the CEO to close.

• Take messy requirements and arrangements and turn them into clear owners, next steps, deadlines, and systems.
• Move proposals, contracts, compliance requests, follow-ups, renewals, and other deal/customer work forward.
• Build and maintain the systems of record the company needs across pipeline, customers, contracts, experiments, recruiting, and operations. Decide what should be tracked, keep it current, and make sure the company can actually rely on it.
• Build automations and agents.
• Draft high-quality outreach, LinkedIn content, copy, and proposals; help update landing pages; coordinate contractors and recruiting work; and step into whatever is blocking a customer or revenue.
• Recognize risk, prioritize correctly, and escalate the things that actually matter.
