Open to GTM Engineering roles

Victor Kalu

GTM Engineer & Outbound Operator

I started as the SDR who books the meetings, then became the engineer who builds the system behind them. I've built and run the outbound behind $6M+ in pipeline across 40+ clients.

01 / About

Two jobs in one hire.

Most people in go-to-market are one of two things: an operator who can sell but can't build, or an engineer who can build but has never carried a number. I'm both, and that's the point.

I spent two years in B2B outbound, first as an SDR carrying a quota to #1 on the team and $2M+ in qualified pipeline, then building the GTM systems that produced it. I work in Clay, n8n, Apollo, Smartlead, and the OpenAI / Anthropic stack, wiring data, enrichment, scoring, and sequences into machines that book meetings, not spreadsheets that sit there.

Because I've run outbound myself, I don't just build what a brief says. I build what I know converts. I'm looking for a team where that combination, a seller who engineers, actually gets used. Remote, based in Lagos, working with teams anywhere.

Where I've done the work.

Sep 2025PE Growth Partners

GTM Engineer

Private equity & investment banking
  • Built the targeting engine from scratch: estimated firm AUM by matching Crunchbase against SEC Form ADV filings, and used AI agents to extract portfolio companies and sectors from PitchBook, no premium data subscription.
  • Wired the machine end to end: enrichment waterfall for decision-makers, a 3-step sequence in Email Bison, positive replies routed straight to Slack.
  • Launched 12 campaigns a month into a segment where cold outbound rarely clears 1%.

2.5% reply rate, ~50% of replies positive. Meetings booked at firms like Lex Capital Group and Aurum Capital.

Mar 2024 to Apr 2025John Snow Labs

  • Booked 20+ meetings a month with enterprise buyers and finished #1 SDR on the team.
  • Meetings landed at GE Healthcare, Pfizer, Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, and McKesson.

$2M+ in qualified pipeline in under 14 months.

The engineering behind the pipeline.

The part that makes me a GTM engineer, not just an SDR: systems I've built to reach markets that off-the-shelf tools can't.

Multi-source target engine

The companies no database has

Sourced AI-native and niche companies from SEC Form D filings, ~50 scraped VC and PE portfolios, and Apollo at once, then resolved, deduped, size-gated, and LLM-scored them into one tiered universe.

Clay · Python · SEC EDGAR · LLM scoring
Local lead engine

Reaching businesses off the grid

Scraped and deduped every business in target metros from Google Maps, qualified to a config-driven ICP, and found each owner from their own site at ~98% match, with a personalization token per business type.

Campaign diagnostic

Reading what's actually performing

Connected via API to Instantly, Smartlead, and HeyReach across ~40 agency clients, then pinpointed the real bottleneck, deliverability, copy, offer, or targeting, against a fixed rubric and each client's GTM.

REST APIs · deliverability · inbox placement
Tooling & pipelines

The reusable machinery

A YouTube lead-generation pipeline, a free SEC Form D funding-signal pipeline, and a two-tier LLM qualification harness (cheap model gates, strong model confirms) that scores prospects at a fraction of the usual cost.

n8n · webhooks · OpenAI / Anthropic

If a market lives somewhere a list tool can't reach, I build the way to get to it.
