Job description

The Experience

Our Agentforce Delivery team helps enterprise customers turn fragmented manual workflows — like procure-to-pay and order-to-cash — into automated, AI-driven processes that go live fast and keep delivering value. As a Forward Deployed Consultant, you'll own customer engagements end to end: from the executive business case through hands-on build and a clean handoff to partners and client teams. This role is based in London and is eligible for a remote work arrangement.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Advise enterprise executives on business goals and operational pain points, build the business case, and set success metrics with a measured baseline before work begins.
• Lead discovery workshops and process mapping, then turn findings into a working automated solution within days to weeks.
• Build and iterate AI agent-based automations hands-on — designing prompts, structuring outputs, and debugging failures — while identifying integration risks like authentication, latency, and payload limits.
• Own delivery through go-live, including scope, testing, data migration, and cutover, then run a structured handoff to implementation partners and customer teams.

You're Our Person If...

• You have 5+ years in solutions consulting, forward deployed, strategic consulting, product management, process automation, or business analysis roles.
• You have domain depth in supply chain, enterprise resource planning (ERP), or finance operations processes (procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, accounts payable/receivable, supplier onboarding).
• You've built AI or agent-based automation yourself, including prompt design, output structuring, and iterating on failures — and you've engaged enterprise executives in business-to-business software sales to build business cases and roadmaps.
• Experience will be evaluated based on alignment to the core competencies for the role (e.g. extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer work, etc.).

Even Better If...

• You're familiar with the Salesforce platform ecosystem (APIs, platform services).
• You've built or navigated partner ecosystems and implementation channels.
• You hold a Lean, Six Sigma, or related process improvement certification.
• You have a technical or business degree; an MBA is a plus.
