About the role

Responsibilities

  • Run the engagement end to end, owning client relationship, execution plan, and outcomes.
  • Turn ambiguity into action by decomposing client needs into sequenced initiatives with owners, dependencies, milestones, and success metrics, then execute.
  • Build AI solutions independently: design and build agent workflows, automations, and AI-powered tools; prototype, test, and ship.
  • Manage organizational change, navigate resistance, address fears, and build trust with operators and executives.
  • Capture and document learnings from engagements to inform product strategy.
  • Shape the new function: define operating model, engagement playbook, hiring criteria.

What We're Looking For

  • Led complex, ambiguous initiatives end to end.
  • Build with AI: fluent in LLM orchestration, agent workflows, automations; evaluate and implement solutions (agent, workflow, fine-tuned model, prompt chain).
  • Structured thinker who operates in chaos, decomposes problems into plans.
  • Credible with executives and operators, manages senior stakeholders.
  • Thrives in ambiguity, wants to build something new.

Backgrounds that fit: Forward-deployed engineers/strategists (Palantir, Anduril, Scale AI), MBB digital/AI consultants who build, technical founders/early operators at B2B startups, PMs at AI-native companies, independent AI builders, technical program managers/Chiefs of Staff who build.
