Product Marketing & GTM Lead

Go-to-Market (GTM) Lead – SaaS Product Launch & Growth Strategy | Remote

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a highly entrepreneurial Go-to-Market (GTM) Lead to own the strategy and execution for the launch of two upcoming SaaS products.

This is a high-impact, startup-style role for someone who knows how to take a product from concept → launch → early traction → scalable growth.

As the first GTM hire, you’ll have significant ownership across:

  • Product positioning & messaging
  • SaaS product launches
  • Beta user acquisition
  • Demand generation
  • Growth experimentation
  • Customer onboarding
  • Outbound outreach
  • Launch campaigns
  • GTM systems & playbooks

This is not a strategy-only role. You’ll personally build campaigns, write copy, recruit beta users, conduct outreach, launch experiments, analyze performance, and iterate quickly.

You’ll lead the launch of Product A first, then use the insights, systems, and proven processes from that launch to accelerate Product B.

What You’ll Own

    • Positioning
    • Messaging
    • Acquisition channels
    • Onboarding journeys
  • Take products from pre-launch through launch and post-launch optimization
  • Coordinate launch timelines, campaigns, and stakeholders
  • Continuously improve GTM strategy using customer feedback and performance data
  • Apply lessons from Product A to make Product B’s launch faster and more effective

Positioning, Messaging & Product Marketing

    • Competitive differentiation
  • Test messaging with prospective and existing users

    • Acquisition learnings
    • Customer feedback
    • Campaign performance
    • Growth experiments
  • Build reusable GTM playbooks
  • Develop scalable launch and growth processes
  • Improve execution efficiency with each product launch

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You:

  • Thrive in zero-to-one startup environments
  • Can operate effectively with ambiguity and limited structure
  • Think strategically but are equally comfortable executing the work yourself
  • Have personally helped take a SaaS product to market
  • Understand how positioning, acquisition, onboarding, and retention connect
  • Can write compelling marketing and product copy
  • Are comfortable talking directly with prospective users
  • Move quickly, test ideas, learn from data, and iterate
  • Are naturally proactive, resourceful, and ownership-driven
  • Prefer building systems rather than waiting for established processes

Required Experience & Skills

Experience

  • 4–8 years of experience across one or more of:
    • Go-to-Market Strategy
    • Product Marketing
    • Growth Marketing
    • Demand Generation
    • Product Launches
  • Proven experience launching at least one B2B SaaS product from concept to market
  • Experience working in an early-stage startup environment
  • Experience as an early team member (employee #1–5 preferred)

Core Skills

Strong hands-on execution across:

  • SaaS product launches
  • Growth campaigns
  • Product positioning
  • Copywriting
  • Outbound outreach
  • Demand generation
  • Beta user acquisition

You should also have:

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You might:

  • Refine the GTM strategy for an upcoming product launch
  • Recruit and speak with prospective beta users
  • Conduct LinkedIn and email outreach
  • Write landing page and launch copy
  • Build onboarding and lifecycle emails
  • Review beta user feedback
  • Analyze acquisition and conversion performance
  • Test a new positioning or messaging angle
  • Optimize a landing page or onboarding flow
  • Coordinate upcoming launch milestones
  • Document campaign learnings and update the GTM playbook

In short: You own the strategy and hands-on execution required to take SaaS products from zero → market → traction → scalable growth.

Key Metrics for Success

  • Beta user activation and engagement
  • Product launch execution against timelines
  • User onboarding conversion
  • Landing page conversion rates
  • Campaign conversion performance
  • Qualified demand generated
  • Acquisition channel efficiency
  • Speed of experimentation and iteration
  • Early user retention
  • Quality and scalability of GTM processes

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Become the first GTM hire
  • Own GTM strategy and execution from day one
  • Launch two SaaS products from the ground up
  • Work directly with startup leadership
  • Significant autonomy and decision-making ownership
  • Build the company’s GTM infrastructure rather than inherit it
  • Direct impact on product adoption and company growth
  • Opportunity to build repeatable launch systems that scale

Strong career progression into:

  • Startup Growth Leadership

Apply Now

If you’ve launched B2B SaaS products from the ground up, know how to find and activate early users, and enjoy combining strategy with hands-on execution, we’d love to hear from you.

This role is ideal for a high-agency GTM operator who can build, launch, test, learn, and scale without waiting for a finished playbook.
