About the Company

This venture-backed AI company is building a new layer of human-computer interaction — combining advanced AI with the reliability of traditional software. The platform enables enterprises to automate complex, high-stakes workflows using an English-based programming model that blends structured logic with natural language.

The result: processes that once took hours can now run in minutes with exceptional accuracy. Today, the platform powers mission-critical operations across Fortune 500 organizations with consistently high production quality at global scale.

The Role

As a Forward Deployed Strategist, you'll work directly with some of the world's largest enterprises to implement automation that fundamentally changes how teams operate. This is not incremental improvement — you'll help replace legacy workflows that organizations have relied on for decades.

You'll operate at the intersection of strategy, operations, and customer leadership, owning deployments end-to-end — from early pilots through global rollouts. This role requires navigating complex organizations, aligning stakeholders from operational teams to executive leadership, and ensuring successful adoption at scale.

If you enjoy solving ambiguous problems, building trusted relationships inside major organizations, and delivering real operational transformation, this role offers a rare opportunity to help define how modern enterprises run.

What You'll Do

• Lead deployments with large enterprise customers from initial pilot to scaled production
• Break down complex workflows and translate them into clear, executable automation plans
• Navigate cross-functional stakeholders across operations, technical teams, and executive leadership
• Drive adoption and change management throughout the rollout process
• Identify opportunities to expand automation and grow customer impact globally
• Capture repeatable deployment patterns and share insights with product and engineering teams

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in a strategic, technical, or customer-facing role (deployment, consulting, enterprise account leadership, operations strategy, etc.)
• Experience working with large enterprise organizations and complex initiatives
• Strong problem-solving ability and comfort operating in ambiguous environments
• Technical fluency to engage with product and implementation discussions
• Exceptional relationship-building skills across all levels of an organization
• Clear communicator with strong project management instincts and ownership mindset

Nice to Have

• Experience in financial services, healthcare, or other enterprise-heavy industries
• Background working with enterprise systems or operational transformation initiatives
• Founder or early-stage startup experience

Why This Role

• Work directly with global enterprises on high-impact automation initiatives
• Help shape how AI is deployed inside real organizations
• Join a highly experienced, talent-dense team building products from 01
• Backed by leading investors in the AI ecosystem
