Go-to-Market (GTM) Manager

Papaya Global•Barcelona, CT

About The Position

Papaya Global is a rapidly growing, award-winning B2B tech unicorn with an ambitious mission to revolutionize the payroll & payments industry. With over $400M raised from multiple tier-one investors, our innovative technology provides a comprehensive solution for managing global workforces, encompassing everything from hiring and onboarding to managing and paying employees in over 160 countries. We’re looking for an action-oriented GTM Manager to join our Go-to-Market organization and help turn Papaya’s products, innovation, and expertise into scalable commercial growth. This is not a traditional Product Marketing role. The GTM team sits at the intersection of Product, Sales, Marketing, and Client Success, owning how Papaya takes its products and services to market - from defining the story and positioning, to launching new capabilities, enabling our revenue teams, and ultimately helping drive adoption and revenue. We’re looking for someone who can think strategically but loves to execute. Someone who can understand a complex product, identify why it matters to a customer, turn it into a compelling commercial story, and give our sellers the tools and confidence to take that story to market.
