HybridSales$193k–$241k/yrFull-time

About the role

Scale's Enterprise Applications business is growing rapidly, focusing on developing reliable AI systems for critical decision-making. As an AI Deployment Strategist, you will play a central role in helping our largest customers implement groundbreaking GenAI solutions that transform their industries.

Responsibilities

  • The customer outcome: You are the on-the-ground DRI. Renewals and expansions occur because the deployment was successful, and its success is your responsibility.

  • Repeatable delivery: Ensure deployments are on time, of high quality, and adhere to standards you set and enforce. Push internal or external teams when necessary.

  • The next workstream: Identify new business value within accounts before the customer does, framing cases and collaborating with AE and product teams.

  • Unsticking what's stuck: Address roadblocks by working with Engineering, Product, Finance, Operations, and others to resolve issues.

  • Feedback that shapes the product: Bring insights from customer projects to product and leadership, enabling actionable changes.

Requirements

  • Experience from one of three areas:

    • Operators at companies deploying enterprise AI or data products (e.g., Palantir DS or FDE-style roles)
    • Strategy consultants from BCG, McKinsey, or Bain moving into tech
    • Technical PMs or engineers pulled into the business and customer side
  • 5-8 years in high-growth, high-ambiguity environments. A technical or quantitative background (CS, engineering, economics, statistics, STEM) is helpful.

  • Low ego, high hunger. You take direct feedback well, identify your weaknesses, and tackle difficult problems head-on.

  • A diagnose-before-you-solve instinct. You ask multiple questions before implementing a solution.

  • No jargon. You can translate technical concepts into business impact for a CFO and a delivery plan for an engineer.

  • Technical credibility. No engineering degree required; you are curious enough to challenge engineering leads if needed.

  • Commercial instinct. You think in terms of business levers and articulate ROI without prompting. You spot upsell logic that might have been overlooked.

  • Grit. You persist through challenging periods. We are cautious of those who switch jobs frequently.

  • Willingness to travel 30-50% of the time, potentially including international trips.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with enterprise AI or data infrastructure products

  • Deeper industry knowledge in healthcare, financial services, or consumer sectors

Skills

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team

  • Strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities

  • Customer-centric mindset
