Senior Director, Growth Strategy & Gtm Transformation (Vp)

The Mandate:
A high-growth technology company is entering a new era of global expansion — with operations spanning Asia and the Middle East and now scaling their footprint to other continents. To support this transformation, we are seeking a senior leader who can bridge strategy and execution, consulting structure and commercial reality.
This role carries the accountability of building a full-suite global GTM function — from blueprint to execution — and will directly influence executive decisions across brand, market entry, and performance.
This role also serves as a successor pipeline as such it is only designed for a leader who combines strategic clarity, gravity and readiness, high level of thought leadership, commercial depth, and the ability to influence C-suite stakeholders.

1. Global Go-to-Market (B2C Focus):

• Design and lead the complete GTM framework for the company’s global products — building value propositions that resonate across multiple consumer markets.
• Define how brand, product, and performance marketing intersect to create commercial impact — owning the strategy from proposition through execution.
• Strengthen marketing performance metrics (CPM, CAC, LTV) and align with the commercial teams on customer acquisition and retention strategies.
• Develop scalable market entry playbooks for new countries, ensuring speed, consistency, and localized differentiation.
• Partner with Product, Marketing, and RevOps to evolve the customer experience and align pricing, packaging, and communications with business outcomes.
• Act as the senior commercial voice for B2C, translating data and market signals into strategic, actionable insights.

2. Consulting & Transformation Leadership (Strictly TMT Focus):

• Bring structured, consulting-grade thinking to re-architect how the company approaches growth.
• Build frameworks, toolkits, and case-study-based approaches that translate into executable commercial action plans.
• Serve as the bridge between consulting discipline and operator execution — able to present to the Board one day and deploy playbooks in the market the next.
• Lead internal alignment across Product, Technology, Finance, and Commercial to embed a unified operating rhythm for GTM transformation.
• Use evidence-based methodologies and proven transformation case studies to guide decision-making and accelerate readiness.
• Provide thought leadership on commercial transformation, ensuring the company moves from a basic GTM maturity to a globally consistent and high-performing growth engine.

Requirements:
The Ideal Candidate

• Experience: 12–15 years in GTM, commercial, or transformation leadership within technology, telco, or digital platform sectors.
• Consulting DNA: Former McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture Strategy, or Big 4 TMT practices, now operating in a business-side commercial leadership role.
• Functional Strengths: Value proposition design, brand architecture, performance marketing, pricing strategy, partner enablement, and GTM scalability.
• Strategic Depth: Proven record of building or transforming GTM and commercial frameworks in high-growth or transformation-stage organizations.
• Leadership Style: Structured, calm under pressure, and able to influence diverse senior stakeholders with clarity and logic.
• Scope Readiness: Global mindset — able to operate across multiple time zones and business cultures.
• Personal Traits: Analytical yet pragmatic; resilient in ambiguity; drives execution through influence and systems thinking rather than hierarchy.
