Job description

About Us

ELGO AI is an enterprise Agentic AI platform that enables organizations to build, deploy, and manage production‑grade AI solutions across business functions and systems.

Our platform combines AI agents, workflows, enterprise integrations, governance, evaluation, and observability to help organizations move from experimentation to reliable AI deployment at scale. Our mission is to be a transforming force for responsible, safe, and scalable AI adoption in enterprises.

We work closely with large enterprises and public‑sector organizations across Singapore and the broader Asia‑Pacific region to identify high‑impact use cases and deploy AI systems directly into real business environments.

The Role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Strategist (FDS) to work directly with enterprise and public‑sector leaders to help them identify, prioritize, and operationalize high‑impact AI opportunities.

The role sits at the intersection of strategy, business transformation, technology, and execution.

You will work closely with executives, business leaders, and technical teams to understand organizational priorities, assess AI readiness, identify suitable use cases, define measurable outcomes, and develop practical adoption roadmaps.

Where implementation is required, you will work closely with ELGO AI's Forward Deployed Engineers and customer teams to translate strategic priorities into deployable solutions.

This is not a traditional consulting role where the output ends with a presentation. You will remain involved through execution to ensure that identified opportunities translate into real adoption and business outcomes.

Main Responsibilities

• Engage directly with executives, business leaders, and functional teams to understand strategic priorities, operational challenges, and transformation objectives.
• Assess organizational AI readiness, capabilities, processes, data, technology, governance, and adoption barriers.
• Identify and prioritize AI use cases based on business value, feasibility, risk, and organizational readiness.
• Develop practical AI adoption strategies, implementation roadmaps, and sequencing plans.
• Define clear business outcomes, success metrics, and value hypotheses for identified initiatives.
• Facilitate workshops and working sessions with business and technical stakeholders.
• Translate complex business problems into structured problem statements and solution opportunities.
• Work closely with Forward Deployed Engineers to shape solution concepts, scope implementations, and ensure alignment between business outcomes and technical design.
• Support customers in establishing operating models, governance structures, and internal capabilities required for sustained AI adoption.
• Advise leaders on trade‑offs across build, buy, platform, process redesign, and organizational change.
• Track initiatives from strategy through implementation and adoption, identifying blockers and driving stakeholders toward resolution.
• Capture recurring patterns and insights to continuously improve ELGO AI's enterprise adoption frameworks, playbooks, and methodologies.

What We Are Looking For

• Strong Strategic & Problem‑Solving Ability: You can quickly understand complex organizations, structure ambiguous problems, identify root causes, and develop practical recommendations.
• Enterprise Transformation Experience: You have experience in areas such as management consulting, digital transformation, enterprise technology, innovation, product strategy, operations, or similar roles.
• Strong Business Acumen: You can understand how organizations operate, how value is created, and how technology can improve revenue, cost, productivity, risk, or customer outcomes.
• AI & Technology Fluency: You have a strong practical understanding of AI, enterprise software, data, automation, and system implementation. You do not need to be a software engineer, but you should be technically credible and able to work effectively with engineering teams.
• Executive & Stakeholder Management: You are comfortable working with senior executives, business leaders, technical teams, and operational users, and can align stakeholders with different priorities.
• Strong Facilitation & Communication: You can lead workshops, structure discussions, challenge assumptions, and communicate complex ideas clearly through both written and verbal communication.
• Outcome‑Oriented: You focus on implementation and measurable business outcomes rather than producing strategy in isolation.
• High Ownership: You are comfortable taking responsibility for an engagement from initial discovery through prioritization, roadmap development, implementation support, and adoption.
• Entrepreneurial & Adaptable: You thrive in ambiguous environments, learn quickly across industries, and are comfortable building new frameworks and approaches where none exist.

Key KPIs

Success in this role will primarily be measured through: Quality and value of identified AI opportunities
