GumGum is looking for a Vice President, GTM Operations to serve as the CRO’s senior operating partner and the architect of our revenue engine. This is a hands‑on, systems-oriented leadership role — not a quota‑carrying or corporate strategy position. You’ll be responsible for designing, scaling, and continuously improving how revenue is planned, sold, measured, and grown across regions, products, and customer segments.
You’ll translate company priorities into clear, executable go‑to‑market frameworks and ensure those frameworks are consistently applied across the global sales organization. Success in this role means consistency, speed of execution, reduced friction, and increased confidence in the revenue model.
Note: GumGum fosters a flexible hybrid work environment, offering GumGummers the ability to work in‑office and remotely/from home. This role is based in New York, NY.
What You’ll Own – Revenue Operating Model & GTM Architecture
Own the design and evolution of GumGum’s revenue operating system
Define and maintain the global GTM model across brand vs. agency, managed vs. programmatic, and regional variations (NA, EMEA, JAPAC)
Drive sales strategy execution — market and segment focus, coverage models, regional priorities — in partnership with the CRO
Translate company priorities into clear GTM rules, guardrails, and operating principles
Ensure GTM decisions are executable in Salesforce, comp plans, and seller workflows
Document and socialize GTM frameworks so they are applied consistently across the organisation
Sales Planning, Quotas & Incentives
Lead annual and quarterly sales planning in partnership with the CRO and Finance
Design quota‑setting methodologies that reflect market dynamics, account mix, and seller roles
Build data‑backed models to evaluate scenarios, tradeoffs, and risks for executive decision‑making
Partner with Compensation and Finance on incentive design, quota allocation, and reallocation frameworks
Ensure plans are motivating, fair, economically sound, and defensible
RevOps & Sales Operations
Partner with SalesOps to ensure Salesforce and related tools reflect GTM rules and planning decisions
Ensure reporting and dashboards support decision‑making, not just activity tracking
Drive operational consistency across regions while accommodating necessary local nuance
Cross-Functional Revenue Alignment
Serve as the connective tissue across Revenue, Finance, Product, People Ops, Marketing, and BizOps
Partner with Product Marketing on GTM readiness, packaging, and launches
Work with Finance on pricing, discounting, and deal economics
Partner with People Operations on sales role design, incentive alignment, and org evolution
Drive decisions to closure and ensure execution follows agreed standards
Commercial Frameworks & Deal Support
Establish scalable frameworks for complex and non-standard deals — trading, large partnerships, and true exceptions
Manage guardrails around incentives, discounts, and value exchange
Translate learnings from exceptions into system‑level improvements
Experience – What We’re Looking For
12–15 years in revenue strategy, sales operations, GTM, or management consulting, including VP/SVP-level experience
Background in ad tech, media, SaaS, or complex B2B platforms
Demonstrated success designing and scaling revenue operating models
Track record of building operating frameworks that function effectively without ongoing personal intervention
Prior experience partnering closely with RevOps/SalesOps teams strongly preferred
Consulting or internal transformation background is a plus
Skills & Capabilities
Ability to lead senior sales leaders through complex change, challenge legacy practices, and drive alignment
Strong analytical and systems‑thinking mindset
Deep understanding of sales behaviour, incentives, and operating models
Ability to simplify complexity into clear rules and frameworks
Credible communicator with senior sales, finance, and product leaders
Comfortable operating in matrixed environments with clear accountability
Low ego, high conviction — brings clarity to ambiguity and structure to complexity
What We Offer At GumGum, competitive base pay is a part of a total rewards package which also includes benefits, an emphasis on recognition, development, and wellness. The reasonable estimated base pay range for this role is from
242,000 – 273,500
annually.
The actual amount may be higher or lower. Individual compensation will vary based on factors including, but not limited to, relevant qualifications, work location, and labor market conditions.
