About The Role

Cresta's forward-deployed team embeds directly with enterprise customers to drive real AI transformation — not pilots, but production deployments that changes Customer Experience for F500 companies. We're hiring our founding Special Projects Lead on our AI Agent Team.

• Knowledge management: Design an AI-powered “second brain” to centralize team know-how. Establish clear documentation standards and drive accountability for subject-matter owners across specialized topics.
• Scale the team: Develop internal tools and processes to enable scaling. Work as a multiplier across hiring processes (funnel optimization, events) for a team that is on a 8x headcount trajectory.
• Special projects Lead cross-functional projects at the intersection of product, go-to-market, and operations—deployment pattern synthesis, verticalization, AI Agent product SKUs.
• Seed key initiatives, scaling them from idea to proof-of-concept before housing them in new roles (e.g., verticalization, Agent Academy for customers).
• Grow the Cresta AI Agent and deployment brand by driving content & thought leadership across the team (blog posts, team spotlights, deployment case studies).
