Deployment Strategist

Optimized deploys AI agents into the operations that run the physical economy: the procurement and planning teams at Fortune 500 manufacturers and government organizations. Technology alone doesn't create value; someone has to understand the customer’s world and drive real adoption, and we need a deployment strategist to own that. As a Deployment Strategist, you’ll be the connective tissue of a deployment: running discovery, mapping how a customer actually runs procurement and planning, and driving the training, change management, and adoption that turn a live agent into a habit. You’ll partner closely with our Deployment Engineers and Deployments Lead, and grow quickly into deeper ownership of accounts and outcomes. Compensation range for this role is $120,000 - $165,000 + equity. What you’ll do Run discovery: You’ll sit with procurement and planning teams to understand their processes, pain, and goals, and turn that into a clear plan for the deployment. Map the customer’s world: You’ll document how work actually flows across S2P, spend, S&OP/IBP, and inventory so our agents fit the operation instead of fighting it. Drive adoption: You’ll lead training, build the materials, and do the hands‑on change management that gets skeptical operators to trust and use the product. Own the relationship day to day: You’ll be the reliable point of contact during a deployment, keeping stakeholders aligned and momentum high through go‑live. Measure what matters: You’ll track the outcomes that prove value, like inventory reduction or sourcing efficiency, and feed lessons back to the team. What you’ll bring Have 2+ years in consulting, implementation, operations, or a customer-facing role, ideally in supply chain, procurement, or enterprise software Are highly organized and can keep a complex project and multiple stakeholders moving Are a strong communicator who builds trust easily with both operators and senior stakeholders Are comfortable getting into the details of a business process and explaining a technical product simply Are high-agency, thrive in ambiguity, and are eager to grow into broader ownership Bonus: familiarity with procurement or planning concepts (sourcing, S2P, S&OP/IBP, demand/supply, inventory) #J-18808-Ljbffr Optimized, Inc.
