• Strong familiarity with the accounting industry, particularly HR/payroll workflows and firm-level service delivery models.
• Proven track record of building and executing GTM strategies within a B2B SaaS or fintech environment.
• Ability to build and scale a team, manage cross-functional alignment, and deliver revenue results.
