Lead, SMC GTM Architect

Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

The Company operates Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world, and Specs Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human, in addition to Bitmoji, Saturn, and other digital services.

SMC GTM Architect team is the engine driving growth across Snap's long tail small-customer business. Operating across the full advertiser lifecycle — acquisition, activation, retention, and growth, the team autonomously supports core jobs-to-be-done, driving cost savings and incremental revenue through funnel optimization, scaled outreach, lifecycle marketing, and disciplined experimentation. We are a builder-first team of technically fluent talent (Python, SQL, advanced tooling) that turns platforms and models built by Snap’s Enterprise and Monetization Product and Engineering teams into repeatable GTM workflows for Snap’s long-tail advertisers.

In this role, you will be the executional engine of the SMC GTM Architect team — an individual contributor who conceptualizes, spearheads, and ships the core systems that power Snap's small-customer advertiser growth.

• Bring together behavioral, contextual, and performance data to power personalization, targeting, and decisioning.

• Drive operational excellence through automation,  remove manual work, build reusable tools and APIs, and accelerate decision-making.

• Find efficiencies and links across initiatives, proactively raise concerns, and prioritize tradeoffs with limited guidance from leadership.

• Cultivate strong cross-functional relationships across Sales, Revenue/Advertiser Growth, Business Intelligence, Finance, Product, and Engineering to align on use cases, KPIs, and business impact.

• Mentor peers, contribute to team-wide standards and best practices, and help shape team culture.

• Communicate progress, tradeoffs, and outcomes in a clear, compelling, and concise manner to leadership and stakeholders.
