Northbound keeps a small, vetted bench of go-to-market operators. Not a job board. Not a resume database. A short list of people who have built a number, matched by hand to companies that need precisely that.
The best revenue operators are not on the open market, and when they are, a keyword screen does them no justice. The bench is for people whose value does not fit in a job description.
You are not one of a thousand profiles. When a search opens that fits what you have built, you hear about it directly. The rest of the time, you are left alone.
Your work is evaluated by a person who has carried a quota and built revenue teams. The nuance of what you actually did does not get lost in translation.
We diagnose the company's real gap before we ever reach out. So when we do, the role is one you can actually win, not a title that looked good on paper.
We do not care about logos for their own sake. We care about whether you built an outcome and can show your work.
You owned pipeline, revenue, or a function that drives it, and the result moved because of you.
You can walk through what you did, why it worked, and what you would do differently. Specifics, not slogans.
Sales, marketing, demand generation, RevOps, or the leadership over them. The revenue function is our entire focus.
Actively looking or quietly open, it does not matter. We reach out only when the fit is real.
Four steps, no noise. You stay in control of what you hear about and when.
Tell us what you have built and the outcomes you can prove. A few minutes, not a fifteen field form.
We talk through your work the way an operator would. If there is a fit for the bench, you are in.
When a search opens that fits what you do, we reach out directly with the company and the role. No mass blasts.
We run a clean process on both sides. You get an advocate who understands the role, not just a middleman passing notes.
Senior revenue roles at B2B companies in growth mode, where the right operator changes the trajectory of the business.
VP of Sales, VP of Marketing, Head of GTM, Head of RevOps, Director of Demand Generation, Fractional CRO.
Growth-stage operators where the next revenue hire is a defining decision for the business.
Permanent leadership seats and fractional or interim mandates, depending on what the company needs and what you want.
A typical recruiter pitches you on whatever role pays them. Northbound only reaches out when the role actually fits what you have built, because the placement is guaranteed and we have to be right.
"The best operators do not need another resume forwarder. They need someone who can tell a company exactly why this is the person who moves their number."
No. Joining the bench is free for operators. Our fees are paid by the companies we place you into, never by you.
No. The bench is private. We do not post your profile anywhere, and we only surface you to a company when a specific, fitting search is open and you have said yes to hearing about it.
Only when it matters. We do not send mass updates or blast you with roles that do not fit. If it has been quiet, it means the right match has not come up yet.
Yes. A good portion of the bench is not actively looking. Being on it simply means that when something genuinely worth your time appears, you are the first to know.
A short summary of what you have built and the outcomes you can point to. That is the start of the conversation. The rest happens when we talk.
Join the bench. When a company needs exactly what you do, you are the first call.
