Employment Prospects
Employers
Go-to-market managers are employed by any company that seeks to plan a product or service to market, but most work for large companies that are launching a large number of products and services (or a smaller number of high-profile ones). Some work as consultants. Pursuing a career in academia at a college or university is another potential career option for GTM managers.
Starting Out
Aspiring go-to-market managers typically work in lower-level marketing, advertising, and product management positions to obtain experience and training. As they build their skills and industry connections, they can apply for go-to-market manager positions at their companies or at other employers. Additionally, they can learn about job openings by attending career fairs and other networking events, creating a profile on LinkedIn to attract the interest of hiring managers, and utilizing the services of an executive recruiter.
