Lead discovery phases to map customer workflows, constraints, and requirements while shaping solution architecture with Forward Deployed Engineers.

Maintain executive relationships, lead stakeholder communications, and represent technical credibility with C-suite sponsors.
Define impact hypotheses, measure return on investment, and report outcomes to executive sponsors pre- and post-deployment.
Capture and contribute reusable delivery patterns to internal product, research, and program leads.
Handle scope changes, navigate regulatory and security reviews, and manage engagement-level delivery operations.

Requirements

Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience in a relevant field of study.
Proven history of leading AI, machine learning, or LLM-based engagements and deployments in professional services, consulting, or technical roles.
Track record of delivering complex, high-stakes technical projects for enterprise clients within regulated industries.
Strong executive presence with the ability to lead architecture conversations with engineering leads and run executive briefings.
