Responsibilities
• WHAT A GREAT FIT LOOKS LIKE • You have deployed early AI product into business customers, hands-on and alongside engineers. You worked out what would create value and decided what was worth building. Not onboarding customers onto a product that was already finished. • You have turned bespoke work into repeatable product. You decided which customer-specific features and fixes belonged in the core product, and you can show the numbers: deployments that got faster, with fewer people, while volume grew. • You have earned the trust of customer leaders, from site head up to executive level, been their escalation point and unblocked hard problems. You're credible because you've built and shipped. • You have grown a delivery team and made the decisions that came with it, including hiring and performance management. You've designed the team's structure as it grew. • You're a coach who was recently a quarterback. You can still step in, but you know you'll have more impact by building a team that doesn't need you to. • You agree what success means with a customer before you start, and you prove it with numbers. • You notice early signs of trouble and raise them with urgency, and you use judgement to tell what needs action and what doesn't. • You're happy to travel to our plants worldwide, about a quarter of the time and more in your first few months: to build relationships with customer leaders, coach your team on site and learn how our plants run. • YOU'LL EXCEL IF • You have managed managers, or grown an engineer into a team lead. • You have worked in a forward-deployed or deployment strategist model, where small teams embed with customers. • You have set up post-sales or account management for a B2B product. • You have deployed software into physical operations: plants, factories, utilities, energy assets or similar. • You care about decarbonising energy intensive industries. • Reports to: Noah Miller, COO • Team: our Solutions team of solutions engineers and two team leads, which you'll lead and grow • Location: London, at least 2 days a week in the office, with about 25% travel to customer plants • Visa sponsorship: available if required • 💡 You are not expected to check every box, and we’d love to hear from you even if your experience isn’t an exact match. • We’re building a team that reflects the world we want to change. Our people come from different countries, cultures and experiences, and we think that’s one of our biggest strengths.
