About Blue J

Blue J is the leading generative AI solution for tax professionals and one of Canada's fastest-growing AI companies. Headquartered in Toronto, we're a high-growth B2B SaaS company building industry-leading tax research software that helps accountants find accurate answers to complex tax questions with greater speed and confidence.

Backed by a $122M USD Series D funding round, we're scaling rapidly across North America and the UK while continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI. By combining advanced technology with deep tax expertise, we empower tax professionals to work more efficiently, make better decisions, and deliver greater value to their clients.

A Note on Location

We’re excited to meet with qualified candidates and are grateful for everyone’s interest. This role is open to candidates located anywhere in the United States. While the position is remote, team members will be expected to travel to our Toronto office approximately once per quarter for in-person collaboration, planning, and team events. The role may also include occasional travel for industry events, trade shows, and conferences. Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States.

The Opportunity

As our Senior Manager, GTM Systems, you'll own the architecture, health, and roadmap of the systems that power Blue J's go-to-market engine across Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success. You'll set the vision for our GTM technology stack, helping shape what we build, buy, or retire while ensuring the systems our teams rely on every day are stable, scalable, and well-configured.

You'll manage a small, growing team - a Senior GTM Systems Administrator and a contractor supporting ticketing and systems work - and partner closely with Marketing Operations, Sales Operations, GTM Analytics, and GTM Enablement to prioritize the initiatives that will have the greatest impact.

This role combines strategic leadership with hands-on technical work. You'll define the long-term architecture and direction of our GTM systems while also contributing directly to system configuration and optimization as needed, particularly as the team and function continue to grow.

• Collaborate with teams across the business to identify and implement AI capabilities within our GTM systems that improve the experience for prospects, customers, and internal users.
• Monitor emerging trends and advancements in AI-enabled GTM technology, evaluate their potential impact, and provide recommendations that align with business priorities and long-term goals.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner closely with Revenue Operations and GTM stakeholders to understand business needs, gather feedback, and prioritize the GTM systems roadmap.
• Provide guidance to GTM leaders on technology capabilities, implementation considerations, trade-offs, and investment decisions to support informed planning and execution.
