We are hiring a senior, high-impact leader to serve as Vice President of Go-To-Market (GTM) for AST. This VP-level role owns all revenue functions for our sign language AI platform including strategy, execution, partnerships, and monetization. AST’s GTM is complex and deeply channel-driven. You will design and lead a channel-first distribution model across a broad range of partners, from hyperscalers to OEMs to ISVs.

Many channels will be strategically overlapping or even in tension, so success requires sophisticated commercial judgment. If you’ve built a GTM machine for a technical API product, content-as-a-service, or developer-focused platform across multiple partner ecosystems, this is your chance to build a business that drives social impact at scale.

• GTM Strategy & Ownership:
  Define and execute AST’s complete go-to-market strategy, spanning direct, partner, and embedded distribution models.
• Channel Leadership:
  Develop and manage channel programs across:
• System Integrators (SIs, VARs)
• Independent Software Vendors (LMS, collaboration tools)
• Web platform vendors (e.g., Adobe Experience Cloud)
• Partnership Development:
  Craft and negotiate bespoke commercial agreements, joint GTM plans, and integration roadmaps with top-tier strategic partners.
• Packaging & Monetization:
  Own pricing, licensing, and packaging strategies for AST’s product suite (APIs, SDKs, data, or platform integrations).
• Revenue Leadership:
  Manage revenue planning and forecasting. Work closely with product and finance teams to track pipeline health and conversion metrics.
• Team Leadership:
  Build and lead a high-performing GTM team (initially small), including partner management, strategic sales, and revenue operations.
• Cross-Functional Execution:
  Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Marketing to align partner needs with roadmap and brand.

This position manages employees and is responsible for the performance management and hiring of the employees.
