Head of GTM NL; EU) Office: NL

Founders today are building global companies from day one — but the systems that manage their money were built for a different era. Aspire exists to change that!

We’re building the financial operating system for global founders, bringing banking, software, and automation into a single platform so businesses can move faster across borders and stay focused on building.

Aspire is built by people who think from first principles, care deeply about solving hard problems, and take real ownership of their work. Our team brings global experience from leading fintech and technology companies, and many of us are former founders and operators who understand what it takes to build thoughtfully, make trade‑offs, and deliver at scale in a global environment.

Backed by leading global investors including Y Combinator, Peak XV, and Lightspeed, Aspire has been trusted by more than 50,000 startups and growing businesses worldwide to manage their finances since 2018. Together with partners like J.P. Morgan, Visa, and Wise, we’re building for the next generation of global companies.

Aspire is a leading business banking and payments platform built for modern companies operating across borders. Headquartered in Singapore, we serve over 50,000 businesses worldwide with a full stack of financial tools — multi‑currency accounts, corporate cards, expense management, and international payments. We are launched in the NL to bring the same platform that has transformed financial operations for companies across Asia to the world's most competitive region - EU.

We are at an early but critical stage in the NL market. The infrastructure is live, the product is strong, and we need to acquire the first customers to prove the value proposition. Now we need to build the GTM engine that makes Aspire a name that NL founders and finance leaders know and trust.

This is Aspire's first senior GTM hire in the Netherlands and Europe. You will own the go‑to‑market strategy for the NL and be the person who figures out how a challenger brand breaks through in an intensely competitive market.

You think in frameworks and first principles. You are comfortable with ambiguity and you know how to make decisions without perfect information.

This is a genuine zero-to-one opportunity in the market. At the same time, you are not starting from nothing. Aspire has global GTM capabilities, with established brand, content, and product marketing resources you can draw on and adapt. This is the best of both worlds: the autonomy and accountability of building a new market, with the support of a proven global team behind you.

Who we are looking for

• You have 7-12+ years of experience in B2B GTM, with at least one role involving the launch or significant scaling of a market or product category from early stage
• You think in frameworks and first principles. You are comfortable with ambiguity and you know how to make decisions without perfect information.
• You get energised going zero‑to‑one, ideally in a highly competitive industry.
• You have hands‑on experience across multiple channels and functions.
• You are based in NL and are connected in the startup and fintech ecosystems
• Proven track record of building and leading a team and being responsible for P&L
• (Good to have) Experience in the Payments industry

What You'll Do

Own the NL GTM Strategy

• Test and refine the GTM strategy for the NL market, including ICP prioritization, channel mix, messaging architecture, and category positioning
• Build the rolling go‑to‑market motion - events, conferences, paid media, channel partnerships - no channel is off limits
• Identify where Aspire can win disproportionately — a vertical, a community, a channel — and concentrate resources there
• Be the on‑ground leader, collaborating with local and global teams to deliver on commercial targets

Build the Infrastructure

• Manage the NL P&L, make ROI‑based allocation decisions, and report clearly on performance to leadership
• Chart the NL and EU Expansion roadmap based on client needs, local regulatory requirements, and optimal ROI‑based prioritisation
