Job Title: Forward Deployed Engineer / Solutions Specialist

Salary: £60,000-£70,000 + Equity

Company Description: Ensembleanalytics.co.uk - Fast-growing AI startup optimizing global port operations

Job Description:
Join a high-growth maritime technology startup to own the full client lifecycle from initial demo to multi-million pound contract expansion. You will configure the Athena platform to solve complex workforce scheduling constraints, replacing manual Excel processes with automated operational intelligence for the UK's largest port operators and international terminal groups.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Direct impact on global trade by solving multi-million pound efficiency problems at major international ports using advanced operations research and AI.

• High-growth environment as an early hire in a senior team of eight, working directly with ex-McKinsey leadership and technical co-founders.

• Massive career trajectory with a clear path to leading international expansion into new global markets as the company scales its maritime footprint.

What you will do:

• Lead the end-to-end sales and delivery process, including operational discovery, technical configuration of Athena, and pilot-to-contract conversion.

• Translate complex real-world constraints like union agreements and fatigue rules into structured system logic to build optimized, compliant shift schedules.

• Travel to port sites across the UK and internationally to run discovery sessions, train planners, and drive behavioral change within legacy operations.

The ideal candidate:

• 3-5 years of experience in solutions engineering, technical consulting, or implementation for complex B2B enterprise SaaS or supply chain platforms.

• Highly technical and data-fluent with the ability to configure software to messy real-world rules using system logic and tools like Python or SQL.

• Commercially sharp with the ability to manage senior executive relationships, handle complex objections, and quantify ROI to close significant enterprise deals.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
