Builds, not just admins
They write the automation, the enrichment and the routing. They don’t wait for a consultant.
The people who make your revenue machine actually run.
Your go-to-market (sales, growth and marketing) team runs on data, tools and automation. We find the GTM engineers and RevOps people who build it properly, so your sellers can sell.
When startups make this hire.
Usually when your CRM has become a junk drawer and nobody trusts the forecast. Rush it and you hire a tool admin who keeps the lights on, when you needed someone who could build the outbound engine.
What great looks like.
Data you can trust
Clean CRM, clear definitions, and a forecast the board believes.
Knows the sales motion
They understand what an AE does all day, so their systems help instead of nag.
Measures impact
They can show what their work did to speed, conversion or pipeline.
How we vet this role.
-
Impact, confirmed
We confirm what they built and the results they claim (conversion, speed to lead, pipeline) with their former managers. Dashboards or workflow docs come in if the candidate agrees to share them.
-
A live case exercise
A messy CRM, a leaky lead flow and an outbound target. They design the fix live, while our anti-cheat checks the interview.
-
Something they built, explained
In the same interview we go through an automation or system they built: how it works, what broke, what it changed.
-
The standard checks
ID and right to work, employment history, and references confirmed through work email. Done before you meet anyone.

Questions, answered.
What is a GTM engineer?
Part RevOps, part developer. They build the data, enrichment and automation behind outbound and pipeline, often with code. Most startups need one before they need a big ops team.
GTM engineer or RevOps manager: which do we need?
If you need new systems built, a GTM engineer. If you need to run and report on what you have, RevOps. Lots of people do both, and we check which they’re actually strong at.
How fast can we meet people?
You get 3-5 vetted candidates by a date we agree upfront, usually within 10 days of signing off the brief.
