About the Company

Why We Built Lyric

Supply chains are more critical and complex than ever. Every day, large enterprises navigate trillions of possible decisions that could impact the bottom line. Powerful algorithms and AI can address these problems, yet most organizations struggle to leverage supply chain AI at scale. The current SCM technologies are either rigid, limited-scope point solutions or custom solutions built in-house, which demand immense expertise and investment.

That is…until now.

Enter Lyric

Lyric is an enterprise AI platform built specifically for supply chains, offering the best of both worlds:

• Out-of-the-box AI solutions for optimizing networks, allocating inventory, scheduling routes, planning fulfillment capacity, promising orders, propagating demand, building predictions, analyzing scenarios, and more, plus

• A platform-first approach that empowers both business and technical users with end-to-end product composability, leveraging no-code tools, their own code, or even forking our code to build and refine supply chain decision intelligence

With Lyric, enterprises no longer have to choose between flexibility and speed, they get both.

The Mission

We’re building a new era in supply chain with the team best equipped to lead it. With over 20 years at the intersection of supply chain and algorithms, we developed a deep conviction that global supply chains needed something like Lyric. Since our inception in December 2021, that conviction has been validated time and time again.

Today, a growing number of Fortune 500 companies, including Smurfit WestRock, Estée Lauder, Coca-Cola, and more, are innovating on their own terms with Lyric. We can’t wait to see what our customers, both current and future, are empowered to build with us next. Come build with us!

About The Role

Lyric is hiring a Forward Deployed Engagement Lead to own the hands-on, technical delivery of complex supply chain analytics implementations. This is a senior, customer-facing role for someone who wants to stay close to the platform – configuring, modeling, and troubleshooting directly – while running a defined statement of work with program-management discipline from kickoff through go-live and adoption.

The ideal candidate is T-shaped: broad enough to engage across customer strategy, analytics, and technology, and deep enough to lead solution design and implementation. This role requires exceptional program management, executive presence, and the ability to thrive in an entrepreneurial, high-growth environment.

What You’ll Do

Engagement Leadership & Governance

• Lead end-to-end delivery of enterprise supply chain analytics and optimization programs

• Establish and manage engagement governance, including steering committees and program cadences

About You

• 8+ years of experience in consulting, enterprise SaaS, or supply chain analytics delivery, ideally owning statements of work end-to-end

• Genuinely hands‑on with technical delivery – comfortable configuring, modeling, debugging, and troubleshooting rather than only directing others

• Proven experience leading global project teams and managing enterprise‑scale programs

• Strong executive presence, with the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and credibly at all levels of an organization

• Track record running UAT and change management that drives real adoption, not just sign‑off

• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and energized by building in a fast‑moving environment
