Description du poste

Enterprise productivity across Europe is under pressure. As complexity increases through geopolitical shifts, labour constraints, and tighter operational interdependencies, many organisations observe that AI and optimization efforts improve local efficiency but fail to deliver structural, enterprise-level gains.

At Superlinear, we work on this gap through enterprise orchestration: enabling better system-level decision-making across people, processes, and machines in environments where siloed optimization no longer works.

In our earliest pilots with leading European enterprises, we observe that moving from local optimization to coordinated, enterprise-wide decisions can unlock significant latent capacity. Productivity gains in the range of 10–30% are achievable by reducing systemic friction rather than adding infrastructure.

The 500 largest European enterprises represent roughly €14 trillion in economic output. Enabling even a fraction of them to structurally improve productivity would have impact beyond individual companies.

This is a long‑term effort that requires rigor, restraint, and people who care deeply about their craft, take responsibility for outcomes, and are comfortable working on complex, high‑stakes systems. This role offers the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the foundations of enterprise orchestration in Europe’s most critical organisations.

That's why we are hiring a Deployment Strategist.

The role

As a Deployment Strategist, you sit at the intersection of strategic problem framing and operational execution. You work closely with client stakeholders, Forward Deployed Engineers, and Product teams to ensure that deployments are grounded in operational reality, coherently designed, and deliver measurable impact.

You take ownership of defined parts of a deployment, from understanding the problem to making sure the solution lands. You operate with a high degree of autonomy, while being supported and challenged by your peers.

You’ll also contribute to early client conversations, bringing structured thinking and genuine industry knowledge to shape how complex operational challenges translate into concrete deployment approaches. This is especially relevant in industrial environments such as manufacturing, supply chain, ports and airports or defense where domain credibility matters as much as analytical rigour.

This role is designed for someone with serious consulting experience in large complex contexts who wants to get closer to execution and grow into leading full deployment missions over time.

What you’ll do

Understand the client context

• Build a solid, ground‑level understanding of how the client actually operates
• Capture and structure strategic goals, KPIs, and success criteria
• Map current processes clearly and objectively
• Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and where real improvement is possible

Define value and scope

• Work with clients to define what success looks like and how to measure it
• Translate strategic goals into clear, realistic KPIs
• Contribute to shaping mission scope: what matters, what doesn’t, what’s doable
• Support early problem framing and value articulation in client discussions

Functional design and collaboration

• Translate business analysis into functional designs and user stories
• Work closely with Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure feasibility
• Keep solutions simple, coherent, and focused on impact, push back on overengineering

Validation, adoption and learning

• Validate continuously that solutions meet the original business need
• Support user testing, gather structured feedback, and turn it into improvements
• Help solutions land in the organisation, adoption is part of the job
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to the Superlinear Playbook

Ownership and growth

• Own defined workstreams and drive them forward end‑to‑end
• Build genuine expertise in specific industrial contexts over time
• Grow towards leading larger parts of missions, and eventually full deployment ownership

Essential experience

• 3 + years in top‑tier consulting, strategy, or a comparable structured environment
• Proven experience in industrial contexts such as manufacturing, supply chain, ports, airports or defense. This is a requirement, not a preference
• Exposure to technology‑enabled transformation projects
• Comfortable working across business and technical stakeholders

Skills that matter

• Strong analytical and structuring skills
• Ability to translate ambiguity into a clear problem statement
• Precise, no‑filler communication, written and verbal
• Pragmatic: you know when more analysis stops adding value

Mindset

• Ownership‑driven and accountable
• Curious about how organisations actually work, not just how they should
• Impact‑focused: you care whether it changed anything
• Motivated to grow into a leadership role and take on increasing responsibility

Why this role matters

Good technology fails without strong problem framing, clear scope, and real adoption. As a Deployment Strategist, you make sure deployments focus on the right problems, deliver measurable impact, and successfully land within the organisation.

You’ll gain deep exposure to enterprise operations and build the foundations to lead increasingly complex deployments over time.

What we offer

• Impact: Shape how Europe’s most complex organizations transform and make decisions
• Ownership: Real responsibility for outcomes and how work is delivered
• Growth: Opportunity to broaden your influence across missions and teams
• Collaboration: Work closely with deployment, product, and engineering teams in Brussels (next to Central Station)
• Compensation: Competitive salary
• Benefits: Comprehensive health insurance, group insurance, meal and eco vouchers, transport coverage, mobility budget, internet allowance, and additional Superlinear holidays
• Culture: High‑trust, values‑driven, and focused on quality and ownership
