Hiring Series: GTM Engineer

Welcome to a MeritFirst Hiring Series Assessment. Each assessment in the Hiring Series is built to help you show what you do best. Not only are we assessing these for our own hiring needs but partner companies - including 8VC and Slow Ventures portfolio companies, OpenClaw, Eragon, and more -- receive a short list of top performers. No resume required. Double opt-in: we'll confirm with you once more before putting you in touch with a company. This assessment focuses on GTM Engineering. Great candidates will be able to scrutinize data, derive actionable insights, and communicate clear next steps to stakeholders. We'll ask you to introduce yourself, then work through three scenarios: one where you audit a lead scoring model and recommend improvements based on conversion data, another where you diagnose a pipeline slowdown using funnel metrics, and a third where you translate technical data findings into concrete recommendations for a non-technical sales leader. LLM Usage: We believe that LLMs are an important tool for analytical work. In this context however, we want to understand how you think, write, and work through a problem on your own. For this reason, please avoid using LLMs for writing, data analysis, or generating insights. We expect that this assessment to take 60 minutes. But we'll give you plenty of extra time!
