  • Product & GTM Strategy - Serve as both the voice of the customer and a credible GTM thought leader, advising on go-to-market solution optimization and surfacing actionable field insights that shape product roadmap priorities, competitive strategy, and how Apollo wins and retains customers.
What We're Looking For

  • Demonstrated experience collaborating with AEs to influence and accelerate sales cycles - deeply understanding each account's goals to reduce evaluation risk, drive deal velocity, and put customer success at the center of every engagement.

  • A growth-oriented mindset: curious, coachable, and eager to develop both technical depth and customer-facing skills in a fast-moving GTM environment.
