Deployment Strategist Opportunity at a Fast-Growing AI Data Startup in San Francisco, California Job#16865178

A fast-growing AI data startup preparing to scale to 100 people is hiring four Deployment Strategists to own and grow partnerships with the world’s leading AI labs and major technology companies. You will take over existing customer accounts, keep them healthy and growing while working with several top labs at once, and find and close expansion opportunities within current research teams as well as new customers, taking deals from contract all the way to revenue. You will build deep knowledge of the audio, voice and human and AI training data space so you can advise customer researchers as a trusted partner, turn customer goals into actionable plans with the research and operations teams, and make sure high-quality data is delivered on what was promised. This is an onsite San Francisco position with a competitive salary plus equity, and a front-row seat to the companies shaping the future of AI.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years in deployment strategy, top-tier consulting (engagement manager experience is a plus), or a similar customer-facing role at a data or AI company; fewer years can work with highly relevant human data or audio and voice experience
  • Customer-facing go-to-market skills, including managing relationships with both technical teams and senior executives
  • Technical intuition and the ability to quickly learn the AI training data lifecycle; this is a go-to-market strategist role, not a forward deployed engineer role
  • A track record of solving ambiguous problems in fast-moving environments
  • B2B client-facing experience generating opportunities and driving complex solutions for technical customers
  • Experience at a fast-growing startup (Seed to Series B), a technology company, or a top management consultancy
  • Comfort with SQL
  • Ability to work well with internal operations and research teams to deliver on customer commitments
  • STEM degree, ideally from a top 50 U.S. school
  • Preferred: early-stage startup experience and go-to-market experience, including expanding existing accounts
  • Visa transfers (such as OPT or H1B transfers) are welcome

Location

  • San Francisco offers hiking in the Presidio, biking across the Golden Gate Bridge and the nearby Bay and coast. Housing is costly, but neighborhoods from the Mission to the Sunset offer a range of rentals. The Bay Area is home to top universities and the nation’s densest concentration of AI and technology employers.
