The Team & Role

Gem is looking for a senior individual contributor to own and evolve the GTM systems that power our go-to-market engine at scale.
This role sits at the intersection of Salesforce, Revenue Cloud, data architecture, and real-world GTM usability. You’ll design and build the workflows that connect our tools, streamline how we sell and renew, and help teams spend less time fighting systems and more time with customers.
We’re a multi-product company entering a new scale phase. The foundation exists — what’s needed now is thoughtful system design, simplification, and stewardship.
This is a hands-on builder role with real ownership, not a ticket-based admin role. Ownership here spans everything from system reliability and issue resolution to designing durable workflows that scale over time. You’ll partner closely with Revenue Operations leadership and have access to consulting support for specialized or heavy technical work.

Why This Role Matters

Gem’s GTM motion is becoming more sophisticated — more products, more segments, more signals — and that complexity only works if teams trust the systems supporting it.
Our systems need to help teams:
  • work faster
  • spend more time with customers
  • reduce errors
  • use data and intelligence with confidence
This role builds the systems foundation for scale without prematurely adding layers of process or headcount. It’s a high-impact senior IC role with meaningful ownership and the opportunity to shape how Gem operates as we grow — by building systems teams trust and rely on every day.

What You’ll Do Day-to-Day

1. Designing usable GTM workflows (end-to-end)
Design clean, scalable workflows across the full commercial lifecycle: lead → opportunity → quote → renewal → expansion → multi-year renewal
  • Optimize for end-user usability, not just technical correctness
  • Reduce friction for Sales and CS
  • Ensure workflows scale as our product catalog and segments expand
  • Support both sales-led and self-service-adjacent motions
2. Revenue Cloud & Quoting
Own how Revenue Cloud supports our GTM motion:
  • Configure products, pricing, discounting, and approvals
  • Shape quoting that is fast, accurate, and maintainable
  • Expand capabilities where they clearly add value
  • Partner with consultants for specialized CPQ or complex builds
3. Cross-stack systems integration
Turn tools into a connected system:
  • Salesforce, LeanData, Gong (Engage + Forecast), Pylon, Vitally, Outreach, Marketo, ZoomInfo, and more
  • Design workflows that increase signal flow, and reduce tool sprawl
  • Activate capabilities we already pay for before adding new ones
4. Data architecture & system health
Own the GTM data foundation:
  • Maintain a clean, well-documented data model
  • Design fields and structures that support segmentation, reporting, forecasting, and market architecture
  • Balance precision with usability — data that’s technically perfect but unusable doesn’t help
5. Intelligence → Salesforce
Bring insight into the system of record:
  • Integrate signals from Gong, Pylon, Vitally, and support systems
  • Improve deal inspection, forecasting quality, and renewal risk visibility
  • Reduce reliance on manual rep updates

About You

  • 6–10+ years in Salesforce / GTM systems / Revenue Operations systems roles
  • Strong hands-on experience with Salesforce Flows, validation rules, and declarative automation
  • Experience configuring Revenue Cloud or CPQ in real GTM environments
  • Deep understanding of pipeline, quoting, renewals, and expansions
  • Proven ability to design systems with end-user usability in mind
  • Strong GTM intuition — understands how Sales, CS, Finance, and self-service motions actually work
  • Ability to make smart tradeoffs: build vs simplify vs outsource
  • Comfortable operating as a senior IC and primary owner
  • Clear, confident communicator across technical and non-technical partners
  • Salesforce Admin or Advanced Admin certification
Nice-to-Haves (not required)
  • Deeper Revenue Cloud / CPQ experience
  • Experience in multi-product or multi-segment GTM environments
  • Familiarity with AI-enabled GTM tools (e.g., Pylon, Actively AI)
  • Basic Apex literacy (helpful, not required)

Benefits

  • Highly competitive salary & equity
  • 10-year window to exercise your stock options
  • Supportive Flexible Time Off program
  • 16 paid holidays, including regular company-wide wellness days
  • Best-in-class medical, dental & vision insurance
  • $1,200 annual stipend for learning and development opportunities
  • 16 weeks of Paid Parental Leave for birthing and non-birthing parents
  • New Parent Perks totaling $1,500 and flexibility upon return to work
