Forward Deployed GTM Architect
About the role
Role to design and deploy AI-enabled GTM systems for Artisan's largest customers, aligning sales leadership, RevOps, IT, and legal to create scalable operating models and improve pipeline through pilot programs.
Responsibilities
- Design each customer's GTM system: segmentation, ICPs, account books, scoring, and campaign priorities across divisions and regions.
- Build the intent signal strategy, including custom AI signals. Assess signal frequency, usefulness, and cost before committing to a program.
- Define how autonomous outbound operates: suppression rules, approvals, team libraries, manager controls, and which actions require human review.
- Own deployment across CRM integration, data hygiene, sending infrastructure, deliverability, knowledge, and messaging. Plan a rollout that can expand from a pilot to the wider organization.
- Work through security review, procurement, data processing requirements, and regional constraints with the right customer stakeholders.
- Own account performance. Review pipeline by campaign and team, investigate weak results, and change the program before the customer has to ask.
- Lead on-site discovery, scoping, rollout workshops, and executive reviews. Build agreement across stakeholders with different priorities.
- Partner with sales on large opportunities and stay involved through deployment and expansion. Help customers make a sound plan for replacing existing tools where Artisan fits.
- Bring specific customer problems back to product and engineering and help shape the enterprise roadmap.
Qualifications
- At least three years in GTM engineering, RevOps, sales strategy, or enterprise solutions consulting, with depth in complex sales organizations.
- Experience deploying a system into an organization with hundreds of sellers; understanding territories, ICPs, regional differences, and adoption beyond a pilot.
- Proven ability to own a pipeline result and explain decisions that improved it, including programs that failed.
- Comfort with CRM object models, field quality, role hierarchies, sync conflicts, and account ownership rules.
- Ability to work credibly with a CRO, a RevOps leader, and engineers; capable of challenging assumptions and building cross-functional agreement.
- Ability to translate unclear customer problems into system design and practical rollout plans, with accountability for results.
- Willingness to travel to customer sites frequently, up to 50% of time.

Benefits
- Salary: $130,000–$180,000 USD annually

About Artisan
AI employees called Artisans, starting with an AI BDR
At Artisan, we’re building real AI employees - not copilots, not assistants, but autonomous teammates. Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR. She finds and researches leads, writes emails in customers’ tone of voice, runs outbound sequences, self-optimizes, and manages email deliverability infrastructure. She learns, adapts, and improves over time - just like a human would. Human team members use Artisan as their primary working platform, replacing a sprawling stack of sales tools, and have Artisans working alongside them. We went through Y Combinator (W24) and have raised $35M+ from top investors. We’re at $6M+ ARR, with hundreds of customers including Remote, Quora, and SumUp. We’re currently working on Ava 2.0, pushing the boundaries of what an AI employee can do. And we're hiring.
