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.
