About the role
This is a foundational go-to-market role focused on opening new sectors and geographies, starting with the GCC. You will own the full cycle from market research and target mapping through pitches, demos, meetings, and follow-up.
A new sector starts as a blank page. You will learn how it operates, identify where 1001 fits, and develop a point of view on the angle most likely to resonate. You will turn that insight into a prioritized target map and a pitch tailored to the people you want in the room.
You will run the motion end to end, finding warm paths through our network, tracking meetings in a clean system, and driving every follow-up toward a concrete next step. You will also build demo environments and automations that make research, targeting, and pipeline management faster and more effective.
What you'll work on
- Research new sectors to understand how they operate, where 1001 fits, and which go-to-market angle is most likely to land.
- Build and maintain a prioritized pool of target companies and people.
- Map each target to the strongest available path through our network.
- Manage pipeline, meetings, and follow-up in a clear and consistent system.

- Support expansion into new sectors and geographies, with an immediate focus on the GCC.
- Spend meaningful time on the ground and travel as needed for research, meetings, and relationship building.
- Work closely with the broader GTM team across research, targeting, pitches, demos, and follow-up.
Requirements
- Strong research skills, with the ability to synthesize unfamiliar sectors quickly and form a clear point of view.
- Technical capability to build structured systems, target lists, automations, and demo environments.
- Ability to reason clearly about how AI and data products work and how they apply to customer problems.
- Strong commercial and relationship instincts.
- Understanding of warm introductions and enterprise or government buying processes.
- Highly organized and proactive, with the ability to own a process from start to finish.
- Credible with senior stakeholders and able to deliver clear pitches and product demos.
- High agency and comfort working through ambiguity.
- Willingness to travel, with an immediate focus on the GCC.
Nice to have
- Experience in go-to-market, business development, or chief of staff roles at high-growth, enterprise-facing, or government-facing companies.
- Experience in critical infrastructure industries.
- Experience as a founder or working closely with a founding team.
Working at 1001
We take on high-stakes problems in environments where mistakes carry real consequences. That demands an uncompromising bar, real speed, and systems that hold up under live operations. The people who thrive set that bar for themselves and keep raising it. They own outcomes end to end, bring rigor to everything, and lift everyone around them.
