About this role

ABOUT US: Fireworks is the platform for specialized intelligence, enabling companies to build, train, and serve AI models tailored to their own data, workflows, and products. Founded by the team behind PyTorch and backed by AMD, Atreides, Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures, Lightspeed, NVIDIA, Sequoia Capital, and TCV, Fireworks powers production AI with hundreds of state-of-the-art open models across text, image, embedding, audio, and multimodal workloads.

Today, Fireworks is a Series D company valued at $17.5 billion, bringing together an ambitious, collaborative team that's building the future of enterprise AI. THE ROLE Reporting to the Head of Sales Strategy & Analytics, the GTM Planning Lead is responsible for translating GTM strategy into capacity plans, territories, quotas, and incentive design that drives the right outcomes across direct and partner motions. You will operate as a strategic advisor to GTM and Finance leadership, balancing competitiveness, simplicity, scalability, and financial discipline.

You will lead capacity planning (HC and GPU), overall target design (booking, consumption, pipegen), territories, and incentive design to enable Fireworks’ rapid expansion across the globe. Your work will directly influence revenue predictability, seller behavior, retention, and long-term growth. This is not a pure admin seat and not a blank-slate build. You inherit a working in-house commissions stack and extend it as Fireworks scales.

Consumption and hybrid commit + usage economics are core to how we sell and how our business grows. The right candidate has intimate knowledge of business models that rely on a usage-based or hybrid commercial model — not only license ARR — and can design capacity plans that meet our strategic objectives. You will publish the annual plan in conjunction with GTM leadership and Finance, deliver territories and quotas on schedule, and run attainment diagnostics on a regular cadence.

RESPONSIBILITIES GTM Planning, Capacity & Quotas - Design and drive the annual Go-To-Market planning process for the COO organization - Leading GTM capacity planning and target-setting, translating growth targets into coverage, headcount, and productivity plans across Sales, Field Engineering and CS. - Developing and evolving target-setting methodologies, ensuring targets are grounded in market opportunity, historical performance, and productivity expectations.
