Forward Deployed Delivery Manager

At Astraeus, Forward Deployed Delivery Managers own the successful deployment of our systems in real customer environments. You’ll work across customers, engineers, and internal teams to ensure complex implementations move quickly from idea to production This is not a traditional project management role. You’re not here to track tasks, you’re here to drive outcomes. You’ll operate in the middle of ambiguity, push work forward across multiple streams, and ensure that what gets built actually delivers value in production. You will own delivery across stakeholders, timelines, dependencies, and execution risk, helping turn complex customer environments into successful live deployments. What You’ll Do Own end-to-end delivery of customer deployments, from initial scoping through production rolloutDrive execution across multiple parallel workstreams, covering (technical, operational, and stakeholder dimensionsWork directly with customer stakeholders to align priorities, unblock decisions, and maintain momentumPartner closely with engineers and Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure requirements, sequencing, and execution stay aligned as systems move towards productionIdentify risks early, make tradeoffs, and keep implementations moving under real-world constraintsHold a high bar for what “done” means: systems that work in practice, not just in plansServe as the central point of accountability for deployment progress, cross-functional coordination, and production readiness What We’re Looking For 2–5 years of experience in a high-performance, client-facing environmentDemonstrated ownership of complex deliverables, not just coordination, but executionAbility to operate independently and push work forward without waiting for directionStrong judgment in ambiguous environments with competing prioritiesCredibility working with both business stakeholders and technical teams Strong signals You’ve led implementation workstreams where success depended on you driving progressYou’re known for getting things done under tight timelines and imperfect conditionsYou naturally step in to unblock teams rather than escalate or waitYou’re comfortable getting into the details when needed, not just staying at the surfaceYou can keep multiple stakeholders aligned without losing speed, accountability, or quality You Might Be a Fit If You: Prefer driving real outcomes over managing timelines and status updatesGet frustrated when work stalls and instinctively push it forwardEnjoy working directly with customers but want to be accountable for resultsThrive in fast-moving environments where roles are fluid and expectations are highLike being the person who makes sure complex work actually lands in production Why Astraeus You’ll own real deployments with visible impactYou’ll work at the intersection of customers, product, and engineeringYou’ll operate with high autonomy and high accountabilityYou’ll help define how AI-native systems get deployed successfully inside complex organizations Introduce Yourself If your expertise aligns with Astraeus but doesn't map to a current open role, we want to hear from you. ‍We're particularly interested in domain experts in wealth management operations, compliance architecture, data engineering, agentic systems, and enterprise sales to RIAs and private equity firms. ‍Tell us what you've built, what you understand about the problem we're solving, and how you'd contribute.
