Senior Manager, GTM Strategy & Operations

About Moloco:

Moloco is an AI-native performance advertising company, bringing the power of AI advertising to the open internet. Founded in 2013 by machine learning engineers who had built AI advertising systems inside the world's largest technology companies, Moloco began from a shared mission: to build that same engine for the open internet.

Today, Moloco is one company with two businesses, built on the same compound AI system. Moloco Ads is our AI-native performance advertising platform, helping mobile app marketers acquire, retain, and re-engage high-value users across the open internet. Moloco Commerce Media is our AI-native retail media platform, enabling retailers and marketplaces to turn their platforms into thriving ad businesses. Both are powered by CARA (Compound Ad Recommendation Architecture), the AI system behind every Moloco product.

At Moloco, we bring together those who've already solved hard problems and those with the drive to. Here, we work on some of the complex problems in AI advertising, at a scale and level of sophistication very few companies can offer. Come build what's next.

The Impact You'll Be Contributing to Moloco: 

We are looking for a GTM Sr. Strategy Ops Manager to drive the AMER business. As a strategic thought partner for regional leaders, this role plays an instrumental role in shaping the commercial strategy and operations for Moloco's AMER business.

Success for this leader will come in four core areas:

• Developing AMER commercial strategy grounded in market insights, product roadmaps, competitive dynamics, and customer behaviors; translating analysis into actionable insights.
• Acting as a trusted thought partner to AMER sales leadership, proactively surfacing risks and opportunities, challenging assumptions, and driving alignment on priorities
• Leading complex, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, coordinating across Sales, GTM, Product, and other stakeholders to drive execution and deliver business outcomes
• Building AI-enabled systems and workflows that allow the AMER sales and GTM teams to operate with greater leverage, defaulting to AI as the implementation layer for new processes and tools
• Owning and continuously improving the AMER rhythm of business, leading forums, driving accountability through cadences (WBRs, MBRs, QBRs), and ensuring the commercial organization stays focused on the right priorities

The Opportunity: 

The best candidate is a strategic thinker and trusted advisor first, who also knows how to drive execution. They zoom out to see the big picture, ground recommendations in data, challenge assumptions, and then translate that into action across a complex organization. They are naturally curious with a growth mindset, energized by working in innovative, fast-moving environments. They act as the COO and chief strategic advisor of the region to sales leadership and bring hands-on experience in the digital and app advertising landscape. This is not a reporting or process management role. The highest-leverage work is strategic,  identifying where the AMER business should be headed, what's getting in the way, and what leadership should do about it.This leader will: 

• Develop market insights and competitive intelligence that inform strategic direction and leadership decision-making
• Scope, own, and lead complex GTM initiatives end-to-end, coordinating across regional and global stakeholders to deliver outcomes
• Identify operational gaps across the commercial team, define improvement initiatives, and lead cross-functional efforts to solve them
• Own the regional operating rhythm and alignment with global GTM policy, ensuring cadences drive accountability and action
• Lead regional planning processes including target setting, headcount planning, and annual/half-year strategic planning cycles in partnership with sales leadership and central GTM
• Design and deploy AI-enabled workflows and repeatable systems across the AMER commercial team - identifying where automation creates the highest leverage and driving adoption, not just prototypes"
• Manage and develop 1 direct report, providing coaching, clear direction, and building a culture of ownership and accountability

How Do I Know if the Role is Right For Me? 

• 10+ years of experience in Strategy Consulting, Sales Operations, Revenue Strategy, or Commercial Leadership
• Keen understanding of B2B sales motions, from top of funnel lead generation to long term value sustainability, combining strong analytical ability with a deep understanding of real-life seller and customer dynamics
• Proven track record of driving top line growth via strategic initiatives in a global, fast-paced, B2B sales setting
• Proven experience navigating complex organizations and influencing executive stakeholders to drive alignment and action
• Experience directly managing or developing team members, with a demonstrated ability to set clear expectations, deliver feedback, and grow talent in small team or lead/mentor structures
• Demonstrated AI fluency actively uses AI tools in their own work and can identify where AI creates leverage in a GTM context; strongest candidates will have built or deployed at least one AI-assisted workflow or agent in a professional setting with measurable results
• Bonus points: 
• You speak the language of performance advertising: ROAS, incrementality, attribution, audience targeting, and measurement. You're familiar with both the programmatic and walled garden advertising ecosystem
• Work experience in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment
