📜 Description
- We're looking for a Forward Deployed Strategist to own our most strategic customer engagements - from first workshop through delivery.
- You'll sit with executive sponsors, surface the highest-value use cases, turn them into tightly scoped projects, then stay accountable for the outcome, working with the FDE.
- You'll typically work in a pod of one Strategist and 1-2 FDEs.
- You own the executive relationship and the shape of delivery; the FDE embeds with the customer's
🛠️ Requirements
- You've spent 6+ years in Solutions Architecture, Deployment Strategy, technical consulting, or an Engagement Manager seat where you owned scoping and delivery with a technical team in AI-production workflows
- You're comfortable hands-on with Cursor workflows, integrations, and platform config, and can read enough Python / JS-TS to partner with an FDE
- You've shipped AI-native workflows past the prototype stage and can tell a real production constraint from a nice-to-have
- You can walk into an unfamiliar enterprise eng org, find the highest-leverage intervention fast, and scope something that delivers concrete value in weeks, not quarters
- You have the executive presence to own the C-suite relationship and the technical credibility to earn trust with their eng leads
