GTM Execution Lead

About the Role

The Go-To-Market (GTM) Execution Lead will drive the execution of A-LIGN’s cross-functional strategic initiatives across our Sales, Marketing, and Partnerships organizations, serving as the connective tissue that turns strategy into measurable results. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for an operator who can turn decisions into implementation, surface risks and roadblocks early, and hold stakeholders accountable to their commitments. You will own the operational rhythm that moves GTM programs from decision through adoption, working horizontally across the business, challenging blockers directly, and holding programs accountable to adoption and pipeline outcomes, not just status.

• Run program steering committees (steercos) on a regular cadence, including preparing pre-reads that focus reviews on outcomes, risks, and decisions, capturing decisions, and driving follow-through between meetings until each action is implemented

• Build and maintain a consolidated program view, surfacing risks, blockers, and key milestones to leadership in real time, with a clear recommendation attached to every escalation
• Facilitate cross-functional alignment sessions across Sales, Marketing, and Partnerships, ensuring the right stakeholders have the right context at the right time to make decisions and execute
