Forward Deployed Specialist

Job Description

Forward Deployed Specialist

\n

\n

Location: Remote (US) | Type: Contract, Full Time | Experience: 3+ years

\n

\n

About the Role

\n

We're hiring Forward Deployed Specialists to make sure AI projects get adopted once they're built. You'll work directly with client teams to find the use cases worth pursuing, shape how the solution fits their daily work, and stay close enough after launch to prove it's paying off.

\n

\n

You'll pair with Forward Deployed Engineers on full-time contract engagements with enterprise teams in industries like energy, healthcare, financial services, and industrial operations. You own the business side of the deployment: discovery, workflow design, configuration, training, and measuring results. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be at home in a spreadsheet, a SQL query, or a prompt, and able to hold your own in a room with engineers.

\n

\n

If you come from consulting or operations and have watched good technology go unused because nobody owned the rollout, this role is that owner.

\n

\n

What You'll Do

\n

\n
• Lead discovery with client stakeholders to map workflows and pick the use cases with the clearest payoff
\n
• Translate what you hear into requirements an engineer can build against
\n
• Configure and test AI tools and workflows, including writing and refining prompts
\n
• Train end users and build internal champions, because change management decides whether a rollout sticks
\n
• Track adoption and ROI with real data, then turn it into a story leadership can act on
\n
• Serve as the client's day-to-day point of contact on scope, timelines, and expectations
\n
• Field feedback goes back to the engineers from you, so the next iteration fixes what users actually hit
\n

Background

\n
• Data fluency in Excel or Google Sheets, with SQL or Python a plus
\n
• Hands-on use of current AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar) in your own work, and a point of view on where they help and where they don't
\n
• Clear writing and presenting, with executives and frontline teams alike
\n
• Comfortable juggling several stakeholders and some ambiguity without losing the thread
\n
