About Vikara

Vikara is an AI implementation and advisory firm that helps organizations turn AI into measurable business outcomes.

We partner with companies to identify where AI can create the greatest impact, design practical AI strategies, and implement production-ready AI solutions that improve revenue, customer experience, productivity, and operational efficiency.

We’re building a global business and are looking for a highly entrepreneurial GTM leader to help us acquire customers across the US, Europe, and APAC.

About the Role

This is not a traditional sales role.

We’re looking for a builder—someone who enjoys creating opportunities, opening doors, developing relationships, and closing business in fast-moving markets.

As our Founding GTM Lead, you’ll work directly with the founder to build Vikara’s global customer acquisition engine.

Your primary focus will be acquiring small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), while supporting selective enterprise opportunities.

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats and wants to play a meaningful role in shaping the growth of an AI-first company.

What You’ll Do

- Own New Customer Acquisition
- Drive the complete sales process from prospecting through closing.
- Identify and engage prospective customers across the US, Europe, and APAC
- Conduct discovery conversations with founders, executives, and business leaders
- Understand customer challenges and position Vikara’s AI advisory and implementation services
- Prepare proposals and commercial agreements
- Negotiate and close new business
- Maintain a healthy and predictable sales pipeline
- Build a Repeatable Outbound Engine




- Design and execute outbound growth programs using modern sales techniques and AI-powered tools.

Channels include :

- LinkedIn

Examples include :

- Technology partners

- Venture Capital and Private Equity firms

- Help Shape Our Go-to-Market Strategy

- Work closely with the founder to continuously improve:

- Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

- Industry focus

- Service packaging

- Pricing strategy

- Messaging

- Sales playbooks

- Customer acquisition strategy

- Represent Vikara

Help build Vikara’s reputation by participating in :

- Industry conferences
- Customer meetings
- Executive roundtables
- Webinars
- Community events
- Travel will typically be limited to 5-10%.

Who You Are

- You enjoy creating opportunities from scratch.
- You don’t wait for leads—you create them.
- You are naturally curious, commercially driven, and excited about how AI is transforming businesses.
- You thrive in rapid-moving environments where initiative matters more than hierarchy.
