Job summary

Fundamental is an AI company pioneering enterprise decision-making with the NEXUS model. An AI Deployment Strategist owns deployment outcomes, works with customers in their data and organization, and defines use cases, value, and next steps.

You will travel frequently and collaborate with a Forward Deployed Engineer to unlock data access and priorities. You will spend time with executives, data scientists, and operations leaders, shaping the business impact of predictions and ensuring adoption

Qualifications

• 2 to 6 years in a role where you were judged on outcomes with a customer or client
• Able to explain what a prediction problem is and read a backtest
• Articulate and confident: you structure a messy problem on a whiteboard, write a crisp one-pager
• Fast learner with evidence: you have picked up a domain or a technology quickly
• Travel, long customer days, and ambiguity energize you
• Humble and team-first: you take the unglamorous task when it moves the account

Responsibilities

• Run discovery with business and data leaders: map decision points to prediction problems, qualify data availability, and prioritize use cases by value and feasibility
• Write the use-case brief for every deployment: business question, prediction target, data sources, baseline, success KPI, and owner on the customer side
• Define value before the build and sign it off after: translate model lift into dollars, hours, or risk in language the sponsor's CFO accepts
• Drive adoption: get the model into the customer's workflow, train the users, track usage, and fix what blocks it
• Shape the next use cases: keep a live roadmap per account and hand qualified expansion to the Account Executive with the business case already written
• Work hand in hand with your Forward Deployed Engineer: you unblock data access, stakeholders, and priorities so they can build
• Carry customer patterns back to Product, Research, and leadership, and turn what worked into playbooks the team reuses
• Travel to customer sites 50% or more of the time
