Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in a technical or business field
  • 4+ years in RevOps, Growth, or GTM Operations roles at a B2B SaaS company (dev tools/infrastructure a plus)
  • Proven experience building with marketing and sales tech (Marketo, Salesforce essential; any Clay, Zapier, or custom API experience a plus)
  • Comfortable with experimentation, testing, and rapid iteration - bonus points for direct experience with AI tools or writing your own automations
  • Obsessed with pipeline health and always looking for new ways to unlock performance
  • Strong communicator who can break down technical concepts for non-technical teammates and rally cross-functional partners
Responsibilities
  • Pipeline Ownership: Own pipeline generation end-to-end. You’ll architect solutions that move leads through the funnel - across Marketo, Salesforce, Clay, and tools you build yourself.
  • Own Campaign Operations. Partner with DemandGen, Events, and Product Marketing, to orchestrate multi-channel promotions and drive stakeholder engagement
  • GTM Systems Builder: Design, implement, and maintain automations and integrations. If a connection or workflow doesn’t exist, you’ll create it - sometimes with code, sometimes with AI tools.
  • Experimentation-Driven: Rapidly test new messaging, enrichment tools, workflows, and engagement tech in partnership with marketing and BDR teams. Bring a bias for action: measure, adapt, keep what works.
  • Cross-Functional Partner: Serve as the connective tissue for cross-team plays—aligning GTM, Marketing, and Sales to ensure consistent execution and smooth handoffs.
  • Enablement & Documentation: Turn solutions into playbooks for the team. Document workflows, run enablement, and help everyone level up on GTM systems and best practices.
  • System Performance & Quality: Own the operational health of the GTM tech stack. Hunt down friction, fix bugs, and measure impact - always protecting data quality and reliability.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with Clay, Zapier, or custom API integrations is desirable
  • Direct experience with AI tools or writing your own automations desirable

Cortex is an internal developer portal that helps software teams work more efficiently and with higher quality. It provides automatic cataloging of components, continuous assessment of code quality and compliance, and reliable software deployment workflows. The platform integrates into development pipelines, centralizes documentation and metrics, and supports teams at companies like Docker, TripAdvisor, and Confluent through a subscription-based model. Cortex differs from many competitors by focusing on an integrated portal that automates cataloging and ongoing quality checks within the software delivery process, rather than only offering individual tools. Its goal is to help organizations maintain high engineering standards, reduce time-to-market, and lower operational costs.
