Executive Search for GTM Leaders in 2026
LaunchWorks GTM is a specialized executive search firm focused on placing go-to-market leadership within SaaS, AI, and venture-backed startups across the UK. We prioritize candidates with proven commercial scaling experience. The most important thing to know is that we operate on an exclusive basis for our clients, meaning our candidates are vetted for high-impact, mission-critical roles.
Who pays LaunchWorks GTM
Retained by the employer, not by you.
LaunchWorks GTM is paid by the hiring company, often on retainer before anyone is placed. They are working one specific mandate for that company, not managing your search.
What that means for you
Being wrong for this mandate is not a verdict on you. Stay reachable for the next one, and be straight about salary and timing so you are not shortlisted for a brief you would turn down.

What specific roles and sectors does LaunchWorks GTM cover?
We focus exclusively on go-to-market leadership roles within the software, artificial intelligence, and business services sectors. Our search mandates typically target C-suite, VP, and Director-level positions responsible for revenue growth and market expansion. We partner with venture-backed startups that require leaders capable of navigating rapid scaling phases and complex competitive landscapes.
Where you meet
How does the executive search process work for a candidate?
Our process begins with a deep-dive assessment of your commercial track record and leadership style. If your profile aligns with an active mandate, we conduct a structured interview to evaluate your fit for the specific startup culture and growth stage. We then act as your advocate during the client presentation phase, providing transparent feedback and managing the negotiation process through to offer acceptance.
What should I expect once I engage with your team?
Expect a high-touch, confidential relationship where communication is focused on specific, relevant opportunities rather than broad job hunting. We do not operate a general database for mass applications, so our contact will be targeted and role-specific. You will receive honest, direct feedback on your candidacy and the specific requirements of our venture-backed clients throughout the search lifecycle.
Your side
How can I get on the radar of LaunchWorks GTM recruiters?
To stand out, ensure your CV highlights specific revenue growth metrics, team building achievements, and experience within the SaaS or AI ecosystems. We prioritize candidates who can demonstrate a repeatable methodology for scaling market share. Networking with our consultants on professional platforms and providing a clear, concise summary of your GTM strategy is the most effective way to initiate a conversation.
Is LaunchWorks GTM the right fit for my career search?
We are the right partner if you are an experienced GTM leader looking for high-stakes roles in the startup and venture-backed space. If you are seeking entry-level positions or roles outside of the software and technology sectors, our agency is likely not the best fit for your needs. We provide the most value to candidates who are ready to lead commercial transformation in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for paying the recruitment fee?
The recruitment fee is paid entirely by the hiring company, never by the candidate. Our services are free to you as a job seeker throughout the entire search and placement process.
Should I register with multiple agencies while working with you?
You are free to work with other agencies, but we recommend focusing on partners who truly understand your sector. Transparency is key, so please inform us if you are already being represented for a specific role to avoid duplicate submissions.
What happens to my personal data after I submit my CV?
Your data is handled with strict confidentiality and is only shared with our clients after we have obtained your explicit permission. We comply with UK data protection regulations to ensure your professional information remains secure.
Should I apply directly to a company if I am also working with an agency?
If we have already introduced you to a client, you should not apply directly to that same company. Doing so can create administrative conflicts and may complicate your candidacy, so please coordinate all communication through your consultant.
