About this role

The Forward Deployed AI Strategist role at EliseAI in New York City is an exciting opportunity for an experienced professional to drive next-generation artificial intelligence implementations. This position suits a driven, founder-minded leader who thrives in high-autonomy environments and wants to shape the future of autonomous housing operations.

Role Overview

As a Deployment Strategist on the Future Platforms team, you will help found and scale a critical new function at EliseAI by taking future platform products from early customer promise to live, adopted, and business-impacting deployments. Operating as a startup within a startup, this cross-functional role requires you to blend go-to-market, product, operations, and strategy to push the frontier of AI. You will act as the primary driver of engagement success by building alignment across complex customer stakeholder groups, guiding high-stakes implementation and workflow decisions, and coordinating tightly with Product and Engineering to translate real-world needs into clear requirements.

Key Responsibilities

Own engagement success end-to-end, serving as the primary driver of customer deployments from late-stage sales handoff through launch and post-launch stabilization.
Lead discovery, scoping, and decisioning to translate fuzzy goals into crisp requirements, workflows, success metrics, and rollout plans.
Run the execution motion by maintaining multi-threaded project plans under ambiguity and keeping cadences, risk tracking, and launch readiness current.
Collaborate with product operations, engineering, and training teams to drive product configuration, data migration, launch, and successful adoption.
Partner with client leadership on change management, identifying where workflows or incentives need to shift for adoption to stick.
Bring net-new workflow and product requirements to Product and Engineering based on scoping learnings and real-world usage.
Feed lessons from engagements into processes and templates that improve speed and quality as the team scales.
Participate in later-stage sales and pre-sales discovery to set up successful engagements and help scope realistic projects.
Attract top-tier talent to join the deployment team.

Requirements

3 to 5 years of experience running enterprise software implementations, platform migrations, or technology transformation programs.
Demonstrated track record of taking enterprise deployments live with specific examples of owned implementations, obstacles overcome, and successful launches.
Strong technical intuition, demonstrated by a STEM degree or equivalent technical background.
Proven ability to take ownership and operate autonomously with strong judgment in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
Proven ability to independently manage complex projects end-to-end in a client-facing setting.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to naturally build strong relationships and influence across internal and external stakeholders.
Ability to operate creatively and flexibly while maintaining sharp attention to detail.
Willingness to travel approximately two times per month for two to three days.
Willingness to work in person at the New York City office four to five days a week.
