About Loombotic
Loombotic is bringing wire-harness manufacturing back to America, and automating a job still done almost entirely by hand. Harnesses are the nervous system of every robot, vehicle, and machine, and they stay slow and expensive for one reason: nobody automated them, so the work shipped overseas. We build our own instant-quoting software and our own machines to make harnesses here, and ship a custom one in about a week instead of 6 to 12. Teams building robotics, aerospace, and advanced thermal and data-center hardware rely on us to get custom cables in days, not months.
We've grown this far mostly founder-led. This is our first dedicated go-to-market hire: the person who builds the engine that takes us from founder-led sales to a repeatable machine.
The role
This is a founding go-to-market role, and you'll work hand in hand with the founder on everything that brings in revenue: positioning and messaging, demand generation and marketing, outbound and inbound pipeline, and closing deals. You'll be a doer first (writing the emails, running the campaigns, taking the calls, closing the business) and grow into an architect (turning what works into a repeatable playbook and, as we scale, hiring and leading the first GTM team under you). We are not exclusively looking for a long GTM résumé. We want a hungry, high-potential person who can sell, write, and learn fast, and who wants to own go-to-market at a company with real traction and grow into leading it. If that is you, this is a rare seat.
Problems you'll get to solve
A few of the problems you'd actually work on:
- Turn a founder-led sales motion into a repeatable, measurable engine: positioning, channels, pipeline, and a playbook someone else could run
- Find the sharpest way to reach hardware companies that don't yet know a faster harness supplier exists, across outbound, content, events, and partnerships
- Build the marketing that makes engineers and buyers trust us before the first call: the site, case studies, and technical content
- Close real deals yourself, then codify what wins so the next rep can repeat it
- Stand up the metrics and forecasting that show what's working and where the next dollar of growth comes from
What you'll do
- Partner with the founder day to day on positioning, messaging, and the overall go-to-market plan
- Own demand generation across the channels that work: outbound, content and SEO, events, partnerships, and inbound
- Run and improve the full sales cycle: qualify, scope with the applications and engineering team, quote, and close
- Manage and coach the SDR, and hire the next GTM people as the motion proves out
- Build the CRM, pipeline reporting, and forecasting the company runs on
- Bring market and customer signal back into product, pricing, and positioning
You are
- Hungry, resourceful, and a fast learner who figures things out and gets them done without a playbook
- Naturally persuasive, whether you have closed deals before or just always seem to get people to say yes
- A strong writer who can make a technical product legible to engineers and buyers
- Comfortable in the weeds (sending the email, taking the call) and starting to think bigger (segments, messaging, what is working and why)
- Excited to learn go-to-market directly from the founder and grow into leading it
Minimum qualifications
- Evidence that you can persuade, sell, or move people to act, in any context: a job, a side hustle, a campaign, a team you led, or a thing you got off the ground. Formal GTM experience is a plus, not a requirement
- Strong writing and clear communication, and the ability to get technical quickly
- A self-starter who thrives with little structure and wants enormous ownership early
- Comfortable working hand in hand with a founder
- Able to work on-site in Austin, TX (or relocate)
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S. or Canada
Nice to have
- Selling or marketing technical, hardware, manufacturing, or industrial products
- Selling to engineers, procurement, or operations buyers
- Founding or early GTM experience at a startup that found product-market fit
- Built a sales playbook, hired a first rep, or stood up marketing from scratch
- CRM and GTM tooling (HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, and analytics)
What we care about
We care about people who can both build the machine and turn the crank. The best person here is as happy writing the cold email that books one meeting as building the system that books a hundred more. You'll have unusual ownership of how Loombotic grows, working directly with the founder, with a clear path to lead go-to-market as the team scales.
Compensation & benefits
- Base + variable, OTE ~$80k-$140k, wide by design because we hire on hunger not pedigree, plus meaningful early-stage equity (0.3% to 1.0%) that grows as you grow into leading GTM
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Paid time off and company holidays
- Direct partnership with the founder and a clear path to Head of GTM or VP as the team grows
- A differentiated product with real traction that is easy to feel good about selling
How to apply
Apply with your resume and short answers to:
- Tell us about a time you got people to say yes, or got something off the ground, in any context (work, school, a side project, a team you led). What did you do, and how did it turn out?
- What makes you think you can pick up go-to-market fast? Point to something hard you taught yourself and how you did it.
- Pick one and show us your work: write a short cold outreach message to a hardware company, or outline how you'd launch a campaign to reach robotics and aerospace buyers.
