About the role
- Every week, an executive at one of our largest clients walks into a room with the same question. "We've spent millions on AI pilots.
- Why hasn't anything changed in how my team actually works?"
- Nobody mapped how work actually happens.
Responsibilities
- A national insurer wants to know the ten highest-ROI AI bets across claims, underwriting, and customer ops. The Strategist leading the engagement runs a four-week diagnostic, delivers an executive-ready roadmap, and stays on to ship the first two.
- A private equity firm wants AI fluency operationalized across every portfolio company. One Strategist builds the playbook, runs the trainings, and develops the internal champions who own it after Tenex leaves.
- Own the relationship at the C-suite level. You're the person the CEO calls when something matters, and the person who tells them the hard truth when the answer is uncomfortable
- Design and run sprints that move strategy, product, and technical decisions from quarters into weeks
- Build the workflows alongside Forward-Deployed Engineers, hands-on, using off-the-shelf SaaS, low-code platforms, and frontier agentic tooling
- Drive adoption past launch, because shipping a workflow nobody uses is the same as not shipping
- 3 to 7 years at the intersection of strategy, operations, product, or workflow design, ideally in consulting, an AI-native company, or a fast-growth startup
- Daily, hands-on use of the modern agentic AI stack (Claude, Cowork, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, Zapier/n8n, and whatever ships next week). You're not just aware of these tools, you're building with them across multiple contexts every day
- Own the relationship at the C-suite level.
Requirements
- A track record of redesigning a workflow or process, formally or informally.
- You can walk through exactly what you changed, why, and what happened as a result
Compensation
- Base salary is $150,000 to $180,000.
- Target total cash meaningfully exceeds base.
- Compensation may also include equity and other long-term incentives.
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical (PPO and HSA options), dental, and vision
- HSA, Healthcare FSA, and Commuter Benefits
- 100% employer-paid life insurance + AD&D
- 100% employer-paid long-term disability insurance
- Responsible PTO.
Company info
- what does it mean to run this business if AI does half the work in five years?
- Most don't know how to answer.
- That's why they call us.
- Tenex is the partner ambitious companies hire when the stakes are too high to get AI wrong.
- We embed elite teams directly into their operations, find the bets that actually move the business, and ship the work that makes them AI-native.
- The problems are unforgiving.
- We get to do this work alongside the people building the frontier.
- Anthropic and OpenAI are formal partners, and we sit in the room with their Applied AI teams on real client problems.
- Vercel, Lovable, and a growing list of the most important companies in AI are partners too.
- The bar for joining is high.
- We hire people with high agency and high urgency, who care less about where they trained and more about what they've built.
- If you want to spend the next chapter of your career working on the AI bets that decide where Fortune 500 companies go next, alongside the best operators in the industry and the labs building the technology, this is the place.
- The clients are sharp.
- The work has to land.
- We were the partner Anthropic named on the Claude for Small Business launch https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-for-small-business, delivering AI fluency training across various US cities, and workflows we built ship inside Claude for Small Business https://claude.com/solutions/small-business today.
