About Tessera Labs
As a Deployed Strategist (DS) at Tessera, you will drive how global enterprises deploy AI at scale. You will own our most strategic customers and deployments, operationalizing AI automation in a category with no established playbook, in a role where outcomes are asymmetric and a single person can be decisive. You are the strategic and technical arm of our pre‑sales and post‑sales motions, embedding in Fortune 500 customers whose expectations were set by a world before AI. The solutions you deliver augment and replace mission‑critical workflows in production that previously consumed thousands of human hours and added months or years to billion‑dollar project timelines.

What makes this not a consulting role
Our business model drives outcomes through a platform, not people.

Your ownership will span customer outcomes and product strategy across both short‑and long‑term horizons: deliver the customer outcome in front of you now, and shape the product's capabilities for the long term.

As a Deployed Strategist, you'll constantly balance business tradeoffs: win enterprise revenue but protect the core roadmap; drive short‑term success while preserving long‑term leverage; go deep into customer workflows but don't become a consultant. You will sit at the intersection of GTM, Product, Engineering, and Center Of Excellence, owning engagements from pre‑sales through post‑sales and partnering closely with Deployed Engineers in customer deployments.

Deployed Strategists are proactive problem‑solvers with a keen ability to see around corners.
