Spectrum Search is partnered with an early-stage AI technology company deploying enterprise software into complex, regulated environments. The company is building its deployment capability in London and is looking for its first dedicated Deployment Strategist to work directly with founders, engineers and senior customer stakeholders.

About the opportunity

This is a founding deployment role with significant ownership over how enterprise customers adopt and expand the product. You will lead live customer deployments, translate operational challenges into clear product requirements and help establish the playbook for future implementations.

The role sits at the intersection of strategy, implementation, product and enterprise stakeholder management. It suits someone comfortable operating without an established playbook who can bring structure to ambiguous customer environments.

The role

You will own the non-engineering side of multiple enterprise pilots, working closely with customers and the internal engineering team to move deployments from initial implementation through to broader adoption.

You will be expected to understand complex workflows quickly, communicate effectively with senior stakeholders and turn customer requirements into actionable priorities for technical teams. You will also use AI tools to build prototypes and demonstrations that support customer conversations.
