GTM Manager

About Abaka AI

Abaka AI is built on one mission: to be the world’s most trusted data partner for AI companies. More than 1,000 industry leaders across Generative AI, Embodied AI, and Automotive AI rely on us to power their data pipelines. With our headquarters in Silicon Valley—and teams in Paris, Singapore, and Tokyo—we support global partners with fast, reliable, and scalable data solutions.

Our offerings include a diverse catalog of off-the-shelf datasets (image, video, multimodal, reasoning, 3D, and beyond) as well as comprehensive data collection and annotation services. Whether teams need raw data, curated datasets, or full-cycle data engineering, Abaka AI provides the foundation for building high-performance AI systems.

We’re hiring our first GTM Manager in the United States, a foundational role that will define how Abaka AI communicates its vision, engages the AI community, and builds a world-class brand. You will lead the strategy and execution across social media, content, community programs, and event presence, helping position Abaka and 2077AI at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry.

This role sits at the intersection of research, product, and marketing. You will work closely with engineering and leadership teams to translate technical progress into clear, compelling narratives, and ensure our datasets, benchmarks, and product milestones reach the right audiences at the right time. Your work will shape how developers, researchers, and partners experience the Abaka ecosystem.

As an early member of the go-to-market function, you will have significant ownership over messaging, growth strategy, community infrastructure, and our presence at top AI conferences. If you thrive in fast-moving environments and enjoy building GTM foundations from the ground up, this role offers the opportunity to drive meaningful and lasting impact.
