Descrizione del lavoro

This role runs the executive engagement program for a company selling an AI coding agent to enterprises. It asks for someone who can plan how leaders spend their limited time, work closely with sales on which customer relationships matter, and set up a clear process for handling requests. A strong candidate brings prior experience running executive briefings or advisory boards, sharp prioritization, and the confidence to ask sales teams for context and push back when a request is not worth the time.

How it fits the AI era

The product being sold is an autonomous coding agent, so customer conversations center on how AI changes software work. The program work itself stays human: judging which relationships matter, reading a room, and deciding where a leader's time creates the most value. AI may help with scheduling and record keeping, but the tradeoffs and the trust with sales leaders remain a person's job.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means gaining close exposure to how enterprises adopt an autonomous engineering agent, since the role sits between executives and customer accounts. That builds practical understanding of AI developer tools and the questions buyers raise. Someone could strengthen this by learning how coding agents are evaluated and deployed in large organizations before applying.

Worth showing

• Executive program management
• Prioritization and tradeoffs
• Executive briefing materials
• Process building
