Founding role area

Operating Partner / GTM Network Lead

Help bring Permission Protocol to the operators, portfolio leaders, CFOs, CCOs, CTOs, and AI-platform teams who will define enterprise adoption of agents.

Why this role matters

The agentic infrastructure market will not be created by generic demand generation. It will form through high-trust conversations with people responsible for deploying AI in environments where mistakes create financial, legal, operational, or reputational exposure.

This role helps shape the market around the right question: not “how do we use more agents?” but “what authority layer makes agents safe to use for consequential work?”

What you will shape

  • The network of early buyers, advisors, and distribution partners around agent authority.
  • Market narratives for CFOs, CCOs, CTOs, PE operating partners, and AI-platform leaders.
  • Partner conversations where Permission Protocol can become the trust layer for agent adoption.
  • Category language that positions agent authority as infrastructure, not compliance theater.
  • Strategic feedback from the market into product and positioning.

What strong candidates bring

  • Strong network across enterprise operators, PE portfolio operations, regulated industries, compliance leaders, finance leaders, or AI-platform companies.
  • Ability to open high-trust conversations without sounding like a SaaS playbook.
  • Judgment about who has urgent pain versus who is only curious.
  • Strong writing, positioning, and narrative instincts.
  • Founder-level ownership of ambiguous market-building work.

What to send

  • A LinkedIn profile, resume, portfolio, or relevant work sample.
  • Three to five lines on the background that maps you to this role area.
  • A short note on where you think agent authority, governance, or enterprise adoption is going.

How we work

  • We prefer precise conversations with serious buyers over broad campaign noise.
  • We sell the consequence: authorization, accountability, and enterprise trust in autonomous systems.
  • We treat category design and distribution as product strategy.
  • We care about learning velocity as much as pipeline.

This role is strongest for people who want

  • High-context strategic conversations with operators, portfolio leaders, and enterprise buyers.
  • Market-building work where category language and distribution strategy evolve together.
  • Learning loops that turn buyer discovery into sharper positioning and product direction.
