GTM Strategy & Operations Lead (Legal & Field Ops)
About the role
- The Revenue team drives Affirm’s top-line growth through strategic partnerships, growth initiatives, and go-to-market execution. We acquire, retain, and expand merchant relationships across eCommerce, in-store, telesales, and the Affirm app
- The team leads onboarding, relationship management, and performance optimization to help partners succeed. We deliver value-added solutions, drive adoption, and support long-term business growth by connecting merchants and consumers through Affirm’s products
- GTM Strategy & Operations takes product and pricing initiatives and creates commercially viable, operationally sound go-to-market motions. We partner with Product, Product Marketing, Legal, Rev Ops, and Pricing to design rollout groups, coordinate implementation, and equip the field — CSMs, AEs, and TAMs — with the processes they need to create world-class go-to-market
- As an individual contributor, the Lead owns the go-to-market operations for a specific product line or segment end to end
- You’re handed the objective and you decide how to execute: building the target lists, assigning appropriate account actions, segmenting customers by contractual and pricing eligibility, and tracking adoption. You turn high-level product and pricing inputs into a plan a rep can actually execute
- Own go-to-market operations for field teams executing on strategic initiatives — segmenting potential customers and managing the legal and pricing operations
- Turn inputs from cross-functional stakeholders like Product, Legal, Risk, and Pricing into an executable process
- Manage Affirm’s first-in-class AI contract dashboard for field teams to understand legal and pricing eligibility for product initiatives
- Build and maintain the tools and playbooks the field needs for strategic initiatives, including contract renewal planning, pricing standardization, and new product GTM
- Fluently navigate different perspectives on the same launch — the exec “why it matters,” the customer value proposition, and the field-facing analysis
- Sit close to the field, and turn what you hear into recommendations for cross-functional teams
- Analyze performance data to find where a launch is stalling, and flag risks early

- You do your best work in ambiguity and move fast without waiting to be told the approach

- 6+ years of experience in business operations, revenue or sales operations, ideally in FinTech, SaaS, or another high-growth environment
