When asked what this role is, compress it before you elaborate: “I build the GTM plumbing - data flows, segment logic, routing and AI-native automation - so growth programs run with less human toil and scale across new segments.” Then name the three rungs (foundation, modeling, activation) and place yourself on activation. That framing signals you read the charter, not just the bullets.
