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.

AI Strategy for GTM - Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to identify opportunities where AI can enhance GTM workflows, surface actionable insights, and reduce manual systems work. - 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. ## What You Offer Blue J - 8+ years of experience in GTM Systems, Revenue Operations, Business Systems, or a related technical or systems-focused function. - 3+ years of experience leading and developing a team within a systems, operations, technical, or related environment. - Experience working in a SaaS organization, with an understanding of how GTM systems interact with billing platforms, data warehouses, and AI-enabled technologies. - Deep, hands-on experience with Salesforce; salesforce certification is considered an asset. - Experience with CPQ and marketing automation platforms, including integrating them with Salesforce and related GTM systems. - Experience evaluating and evolving an existing technology stack by identifying opportunities to optimize, modernize, or enhance systems in support of business goals. - Experience managing vendor relationships, renewals, and a SaaS technology budget. - Experience balancing strategic planning and systems architecture with hands-on configuration and implementation. - Strong collaboration, communication, and prioritization skills, with experience partnering across Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success. - Experience identifying opportunities to apply AI to improve internal GTM workflows and customer-facing experiences. - Comfortable leveraging AI tools and emerging technologies to drive efficiency, improve workflows, and stay ahead of industry trends Nice to Have: - Experience with Chargebee, Agency, DocuSign, Customer.io, Gong, Zendesk, or similar platforms. ## What We Offer You - A rare opportunity to shape the systems that power the revenue engine of a fast-growing, well-funded SaaS company. - A mission-driven culture where your work directly advances clarity, efficiency, and accessibility in tax research. - Competitive base salary, stock options, and benefits designed to support you and your family. - Flexibility in how you work: primarily remote, with occasional travel to our Toronto office as needed. - A collaborative, ambitious, and supportive team that values innovation, respect, and fun. - The excitement of a fast-growing, well-funded company with clear momentum, and the resources to back bold initiatives.

How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Blue J uses AI-enabled tools within our applicant tracking system to help organize applications and highlight profiles that match the key requirements for each role. AI does not make hiring decisions. Every application is reviewed by a member of our Talent team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans.

Final compensation will be set fairly and thoughtfully based on experience, expertise, and alignment with the role’s responsibilities. While all candidates are expected to bring directly relevant experience, the top of the range is typically reserved for individuals who demonstrate exceptional depth in the role’s core competencies, a strong track record of impact in similar environments, and the ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy from day one. ## About Blue J ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Blue J provides an AI-powered platform that delivers defensible tax research answers in seconds, transforming how tax professionals work. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series D, $122M raised in August 2025) - **Headquarters**: Toronto, Ontario, Canada (also has an office in New York, USA) - **Founded**: 2015 - **Founders**: Benjamin Alarie (CEO), Albert Yoon, Anthony Niblett ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Tax research technology, legal tech (AI for tax law) - **Target customers**: B2B – tax professionals, accounting firms (including Big Four), Fortune 100 companies, and corporate tax departments - **Mission or purpose statement**: To provide clarity on the current state of tax law, empowering tax professionals to make informed decisions even when the law isn’t black and white.
