Founding GTM Lead at Forge / Polemos

<h1><strong>About the Role</strong></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">As the founding GTM Lead, you'll build and drive the commercial engine at Poetic. Every company runs on operational processes — disputes, claims, underwriting, reviews. Today they live in documents and people's heads, run by large teams and changed slowly by committee. Poetic turns those processes into software: AI runs the work, gets better with every execution, and the people who own the process can read it, adjust it, and trust it.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Your job is to help the world's largest institutions see that future and move toward it. You'll generate pipeline, work day-to-day alongside our CEO to open doors and qualify use cases, and use your consultative selling expertise to become a trusted partner to their leaders. Working with our deployments team, you'll define the multi-year initiatives that start with a single workstream and compound into turning a customer's entire operation into software.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Poetic is backed by the top investors in Silicon Valley, including Founders Fund, OpenAI, and Kleiner Perkins. The results reflect this approach: a 100% production deployment success rate for our customers and one of the few enterprise AI companies to automate million-dollar back-office processes at 99% quality.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></h1><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Proven success as a Majors / Strategic Account Executive or Account Director closing $1M+ ACV deals</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">8+ years of Enterprise / Strategic GTM experience in AI, SaaS, cloud, or data platforms</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Established credibility within financial services, insurance, telecom, healthcare, or supply chain, with relationships you can leverage to accelerate early pipeline</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">A consultative, solutions-oriented approach that combines platform, product, and implementation to drive outcomes</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Deep curiosity about Poetic's capabilities and how they can solve a wide range of real-world problems</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Willingness to travel.
