Head of GTM Strategy & Demand Generation

Iron Horse • Portland, OR

About The Position

Iron Horse is seeking a Head of GTM Strategy & Demand Generation to architect and accelerate demand generation for our enterprise-B2B clients. You'll lead engagements end-to-end: conducting GTM audits that surface hidden growth levers, building data-backed roadmaps, and orchestrating demand, account-based marketing (ABM), and lifecycle programs in partnership with client marketing teams. Your superpower is fusing executive-level strategy with sleeves-rolled-up execution, deploying AI where it compresses cycles and sharpens outcomes. You're a good fit for Iron Horse if: Growth, to you, is a system. Starting with a 360-degree lens on market intelligence, customer signals, and competitive activity, you isolate the variables that matter most and rally marketing teams around execution plans that drive that deliver fast, provable wins. You thrive on complexity: multiple stakeholders, messy data, and high expectations. You're able to translate this complexity into clear, executive-ready strategy as well as practitioner-friendly steps. You balance broad demand-gen plays with targeted ABM programs, knowing when to apply each to accelerate growth. You keep five client work-streams moving without dropping detail or momentum. AI already lives in your toolkit accelerating research, planning, and execution. We're a good fit for you if: You crave engagements that begin as open-ended challenges, not finished scopes. Guiding clients from diagnosis through roadmap creation and into execution energizes you, as does proving measurable impact in quarters, not years. Working directly with client marketing leaders, you're comfortable facilitating strategy workshops, standing up new ABM and GTM programs, and codifying learnings into playbooks that scale across industries. Autonomy, candor, and outcome-driven work motivate you more than layers of process.
