Head of GTM Deals in London

We're BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today's changing world. We work with ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy, directly advising the owners and management teams that lead them.

Our Sales and Marketing team is being reshaped to support BDO's growth ambitions. We're building a high-performing function that is proud of its technical skills, reliable in delivery, and outcome-led in how we prioritise and execute. You'll join a team big enough to offer diverse roles and opportunities, yet personal enough to ensure you're supported and empowered from day one.

Here, we think beyond activity. You'll bring ideas, fresh thinking and help shape how we deliver campaigns, insights and engagement across the business. Working closely with internal clients, you'll deepen your understanding of our sectors and add value in your role.

The Head of GTM Deals is accountable for shaping and delivering go-to-market direction for their deployed area by translating growth priorities into an insight-led GTM strategy and contracted plan that drives measurable commercial outcomes. The role operates as a senior business partner to leadership in the deployed area and as a leader within the Sales & Marketing community, ensuring work is focused, integrated and prioritised in a demand > supply environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead development of the deployed GTM strategy and annual plan in partnership with business leadership and Sales & Marketing capability leaders.
• Contract priorities based on growth strategy, local market context and buyer needs, including clear measures and success criteria.
• Shape briefs with the business that describe the outcome required, the buyer problem to solve and the target audience.
• Run demand intake and shaping conversations with deployed leadership to create a holistic view of needs and opportunities.
• Translate demand into a prioritised portfolio with clear sequencing, dependencies and resourcing assumptions.
• Make and communicate trade-offs in a demand > supply environment; escalate decisions and risks early where needed.
• Ensure prioritisation supports issue-led, solution-oriented selling and avoids fragmented service-led activity.
• Mobilise the right expertise from Sales, Marketing and Operations to meet contracted priorities.
• Lead resourcing, scheduling and timing conversations, ensuring delivery is achievable and balanced across competing priorities.
• Work with peer Heads of GTM to maintain consistent language, rhythms and shared planning moments that enable meaningful collaboration.
• Use insight to guide targeting, proposition focus, and prioritisation of campaigns/activation/pursuit support.
• Ensure learning from execution (wins/losses, campaign performance, stakeholder feedback) is captured and fed back into planning and proposition improvement.
• Build trusted relationships with deployed leadership and maintain a clear engagement rhythm.
• Run governance moments with clear inputs/outputs and action tracking.
• Share regular KPI and performance insight with deployed leadership, focusing on what it means and what should change.

You'll be someone with significant experience in GTM (Deals) leadership, strong ability to contract priorities and outcomes with senior stakeholders, proven experience shaping demand, and strong commercial and market judgement.
