The Role:

At its core, the Deployment Strategist role centers around leveraging the platform, building partner relationships, and storing data in operational and real-world action. Our partners come to us with the insight that the only way to manufacture high-quality products is to make better use of their data. The Deployment Strategist is responsible for turning that insight into reality.

Candidates must live in San Francisco Bay Area or be willing to relocate to be considered as we require 3-5 days in office.

What You Will Do:

As a Deployment Strategist, you'll work as part of a driven and creative team of Engineers, Product Designers, and other Deployment Strategists to deploy software against the most exciting problems the manufacturing world faces. Your mission is to synthesize disconnected streams of thought into an understanding of what the most important problem is, what the data means, what the product needs, what users are motivated by, and where the impact could be. You'll immerse yourself in our customers' most intricate workflows. You'll partner with customer teams, explore the data, and plunge into the product landscape to enable us to scale. In this role, the problems you'll seek will require a curious and analytical approach, a sharp intuition for product priorities, and a strong degree of user empathy to ultimately empower our partners to improve decisions.
