As one of our first AI Strategists, you'll partner directly with customers to design, deploy, and scale AI workflows that transform their operations.

You'll wear many hats: part consultant, part product strategist, part operator.

You'll also bring back customer insights to influence Stack AI's product roadmap, helping us scale a platform used by hundreds of large enterprises globally.

• End-to-End Ownership: Lead customer engagements from ideation through delivery, ensuring long-term adoption and measurable business outcomes.
• AI Strategy & Value Discovery: Identify opportunities where AI workflows can deliver ROI, efficiency, and competitive advantage.
• Customer Enablement: Train and empower customer teams to build and iterate on AI workflows using Stack AI's no-code platform.
• Change Management: Drive onboarding and adoption so that solutions become an integral part of customers' day-to-day operations.
• Product Feedback Loop: Act as the voice of the customer, surfacing needs, patterns, and insights that inform our roadmap.
• Thought Leadership: Contribute to playbooks, case studies, and best practices that help scale Stack AI's impact across industries.

• Strategic Communication: Comfortable engaging both technical stakeholders and senior executives, translating between the two.
• Enterprise & Startup Experience: Experience delivering solutions in complex organizations, while being comfortable operating in a startup environment.
• Technical Acumen: Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and tools; experience with Python, SQL, or data analysis is a plus (but not required).
• Builder Mentality: Bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and ability to create structure where none exists.
• Passion for AI: Strong conviction in AI's transformative potential and excitement about making it accessible.
• People Leadership (nice to have): Experience leading cross-functional initiatives or teams.

Why Join Stack AI

• Massive impact: Shape how organizations adopt LLMs at scale, from startups to Fortune 500s.
