About the role
At some point in the future, every business will answer their phone with voice AI. We are building the platform that makes it possible - and we need someone who can orchestrate complex customer deployments, align teams, and keep everything moving without losing the human touch.
Responsibilities
- Customer deployments end-to-end: Own the full lifecycle from kickoff to production, managing scope, timelines, dependencies, and stakeholders throughout
- Cross-functional coordination: Act as the bridge between customers, engineering, and product. Translate requirements in both directions and keep projects unblocked
- Technical onboarding: Lead implementation sessions, configure integrations using APIs and webhooks, and validate workflows before go-live
- Account health and expansion: Track adoption metrics, identify risks early, and build plans to drive deeper usage and growth against defined targets
- Customer voice: Synthesize feedback from the field into clear, structured insights that influence product direction
- Proof-of-concepts: Rapidly prototype and validate new use cases to accelerate customer decision-making
- Documentation and process: Maintain clear project documentation, status updates, and runbooks that keep everyone aligned
Requirements
- 2+ years in project management, technical account management, or implementation: you have owned complex, multi-stakeholder projects and delivered outcomes against timelines
- Excellent written and verbal communication: you write clearly, present confidently, and can shift between a CTO and a business owner in the same conversation
- Technical fluency: comfortable with APIs, webhooks, and cloud tools at a conceptual and configuration level. You do not need to write the code, but you need to understand it
- Organized and proactive: you track every open item, anticipate blockers before they become problems, and follow through without being chased
- Customer-first mindset: you take genuine ownership of customer outcomes, not just activity metrics
- Comfortable with ambiguity: you thrive when the playbook does not exist yet and can build structure from scratch
- Experience at a SaaS, AI, or developer-tools company
- Background in solutions engineering, technical consulting, or implementation
- You have built something - a company, a product, a project that did not exist before
