AI Deployment Lead

About the Role This is a high-autonomy, end-to-end ownership role at an early-stage AI company, sitting at the intersection of customer success and product engineering. You'll translate complex business problems into scalable agentic AI systems for mid-market and large-cap operators, reporting directly to the C-suite on a lean, fast-growing team. What You'll Do Own customer deployments from scoping through delivery and optimization, working directly with operators and finance teams to drive timelines and outcomes.

Experience with data pipelines, ETL processes, system integrations, or internal tooling. Highly analytical with comfort working with messy, real-world data and complex systems. Strong communication skills and business intuition; comfortable engaging with executives and operators. Scrappy, autonomous, and action-oriented with a bias toward shipping. Exposure to private equity, roll-ups, or M&A is a plus. US citizenship required — visa sponsorship is not available.
