Job Description

Job Description

AI Deployment Strategist

San Francisco, CA

$150000.00 - $200000.00

Our client, an AI logistics startup, is seeking an AI Deployment Strategist with 5–10 years of experience to own the end-to-end implementation and success of their AI agents at Fortune 100 enterprises like Apple, Meta, Pfizer, and Unilever.

You'll be the strategic bridge between customers, product, and engineering — a sharp, high-agency operator who can hold their own in a room of C-suite executives and push back when needed. This is not a hand-holding role; it's a seat at the table where your decisions shape both customer outcomes and the product itself.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead end-to-end enterprise onboarding — from pre-sales kickoff and blueprinting through integration setup and go-live — managing 5–6 accounts simultaneously

Own executive stakeholder relationships (Chief Supply Chain Officers, CFOs, 10–15 person steering committees) at Fortune 100 clients, presenting early wins and driving adoption

Act as a strategic advisor who pushes customers toward best practices rather than just fulfilling requests — bring a strong point of view and defend it

Partner closely with product and engineering teams to translate customer insights into roadmap decisions and shape the product's direction

Work cross-functionally with pre-sales on PoCs and demos, and with junior analysts on integration and data ingestion work

What We're Looking For

Experience at a management consulting firm (MBB), leading deployments at a high-growth startup, or as a product manager

Post-sales enterprise implementation background — has led end-to-end deployments (kickoff go-live)

Proven ability to build strong relationships with customer stakeholders, from operational teams to executive leadership

Hands-on experience with ERP, TMS, or Spend Management platforms (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Coupa) preferred

Previous founder or founding-team experience a plus

Bachelor's degree required (engineering, economics, or business); MBA or graduate degree a plus

Operates with high autonomy — makes decisions and owns outcomes without escalating every call

or exceptional candidates (coming from target companies) there is some flexibility on base to 225k (OTE: 200k to 275k)

Visa Sponsorship Details

Open to visa transfers (e.g. OPT, H1B transfers)

Relocation
