Full Job Description
We are looking for an experienced International Strategy Sr. Manager to join our INTL GTM team. This is a critical Individual Contributor role owning end-to-end go-to-market strategy across multiple international markets and strategic initiatives - from budgeting and planning through content strategy, media investment, and cross-functional execution. You will build the playbooks and frameworks that shape how Squarespace shows up internationally.

You are an analytically driven, scrappy operator who moves fluidly between long-term strategic planning and hands-on execution. You're comfortable picking up new problem spaces quickly, and you act as a genuine business partner - to your manager, to senior stakeholders, and to teams across Product, Brand, Commercial, Finance, and Analytics.

This role is hybrid, based in the NYC area, with 2-3 days per week in office. You will report to the Associate Director, International & GTM.
You'll Get To...
  • End-to-End Market Ownership: Own GTM strategy and execution - including multi-year budgeting and resource planning - for a portfolio of international markets, building repeatable frameworks that extend to less mature markets over time.
  • AEO & Content Strategy: Define and drive the content and AI-discovery strategy for owned markets, building the playbook that scales into new markets over time.
  • Media Investment & Planning: Own media investment strategy and planning, partnering with Brand and Analytics to ensure spend is tied to measurable performance outcomes.
  • Cross-Functional Strategic Partnership: Serve as the primary GTM voice into Product, Brand, Commercial, Finance, and Analytics - representing market needs upstream and translating cross-functional roadmaps into GTM action.
  • Analytical Rigor: Bring a data-driven approach to prioritization - using performance data to decide where to invest, what to test, and when to pivot.
Who We're Looking For
  • 10+ years of experience in International Strategy, GTM Strategy & Operations, Consulting, or a related strategic function at a high-growth company
  • Proven track record owning end-to-end strategy and execution - from planning through measurable outcomes
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn data into clear operational and strategic decisions
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-changing environments and pivot quickly as priorities shift
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and cross-functional partners without direct authority
  • Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product, Brand, Commercial, Finance, or Analytics teams
  • AI-first mindset - personally fluent in using AI tools to drive productivity, with a strong instinct for identifying where AI or automation can improve GTM workflows and team-wide processes
  • International or multi-market experience is a plus, but not required
Benefits & Perks
  • A choice between medical plans with an option for 100% covered premiums
  • Fertility and adoption benefits
  • Access to supplemental insurance plans for additional coverage
  • Headspace mindfulness app subscription
  • Global Employee Assistance Program
  • Retirement benefits with employer match
  • Flexible paid time off
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave and family care leave
  • Pretax commuter benefit
  • Education reimbursement
  • Employee donation match to community organizations
  • 7 Global Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
  • Dog-friendly workplace
  • Free lunch and snacks
  • Private rooftop
  • Hack week twice per year
Cash Compensation Range: $148,500 - $239,200 USD
