Responsibilities
- Engineer the shortest path from deployment to provable value: own the 90-day mission model and ensure every engagement delivers measurable outcomes within that window.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Legal, and Engineering to surface client feedback and drive roadmap alignment.
- Serve as the senior escalation point and strategic partner across ~12 ongoing complex deployments; ensure issues are resolved with urgency and care.

- We partner with the most important institutions in the world to transform the safety, trust, and integrity of their data and technology systems.

Nice to have
- Experience at companies with structured deployment models (e.g., Palantir, Stripe, Snowflake, Databricks, or similar).
- Excellent project and stakeholder management skills with a bias for structured execution and clarity.
- Working knowledge of data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), data infrastructure, or AI governance is a plus.
