Company Description Our client is a publicly traded, mission-driven technology company building advanced software platforms used by some of the world’s most important institutions.

This team is part of a fast-growing strategic initiative focused on deploying software directly into high-impact, real-world environments. The work is highly visible internally, deeply collaborative, and designed to scale across global programs.

What You Will Do As a Deployment Strategist, you will sit at the intersection of data, product, and real-world operations. You’ll work directly with end users to turn complex, ambiguous problems into scalable, data-driven solutions that have immediate operational impact.

Key responsibilities include:

Building demos and supporting new deployments across expanding programs and geographies

This is a highly hands-on role—no two days look the same.

Comfort navigating ambiguous problems and turning them into actionable solutions

Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with customers or partners

A collaborative, low-ego mindset with a bias toward execution

Willingness to travel occasionally (up to ~25%) and work on-site as required

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with programming, scripting, or analytical tools such as Python, SQL, R, or MATLAB

Background in government, defense, national security, logistics, aviation, or readiness-related domains

Prior experience in consulting, deployment, forward-deployed engineering, or customer-facing technical roles

Exposure to large-scale data systems or enterprise software platforms
