You’ll help enterprise clients take their work apart and put it back together using tools from our partners, Anthropic and OpenAI.\nWorkflow Engineers discover, design, build, and teach AI-enabled workflows. You walk into an organization, run a training session that changes how they work, help them redesign the workflows that matter most, and build the skills, plugins, and playbooks that let their teams keep going after you’re gone.\nWe expect you to own things: curriculum, methodology, delivery approach. Proactively problem-solve when the approach isn’t working.\nWHAT YOU GET TO DO\nFour areas. The mix flexes by engagement and by quarter as the practice scales.\nEnablement Delivery\nDesign and deliver training - from half-day leadership sessions to multi-week engagements.\n\nFacilitate workshops that help technical and non-technical teams build real confidence with the tools, then measure whether it stuck.\n\nCoach client champions through adoption, not just tool proficiency.\n\nSpot follow-on opportunities during and after training. Surface them to Account Leads with enough context to scope and close.\n\nWorkflow Design & Build with Champions\nTake work apart. Understand what's actually happening before you redesign anything.\n\nRedesign workflows around partner tools, with the human in the loop.\n\nBuild skills, plugins, playbooks, and connector patterns alongside clients - not for them.\n\nDocument the redesign so it can be replicated across teams and departments.\n\nDiscovery & Use Case Development\nPartner with clients to identify high-value AI use cases and build the business case.\n\nLead discovery workshops and use case prioritization sessions using our Blueprint scoring framework.\n\nCollaborate with Account Leads to scope engagements and define success metrics.\n\nPractice Development\nOwn our partner enablement methodology: curriculum, session playbooks, assessment tools, certification pathways.\n\nCreate reusable workflow patterns and training assets so we don't rebuild every engagement from scratch.\n\nDefine what good looks like: quality standards, client outcomes, adoption signals we can track and feed back into the curriculum.\n\nSupport pre-sales: scoping, proposal development, helping Account Leads explain what an engagement actually delivers.\n\nWHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED\nRequired\n5+ years in service design, user experience, product, strategy consulting, change enablement, or a similar client-facing role where you helped people work differently.\n\nDemonstrable human-centered design mindset - you start with the work and the humans doing it, not the tool.\n\nHands-on fluency with Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, or similar agentic platforms. You understand prompt design, skill building, and how these tools actually change work. If you've built skills, plugins, or custom workflows, even better.\n\nExperience designing and delivering workshops or enablement sessions. You know the difference between a session that felt good and one that changed behavior.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication. You can talk to an executive and to an engineer in the same meeting without losing either.\n\nComfort with ambiguity and speed. You ship before it's perfect because you know perfect is just late.\n\nNice to Have\nBackground in service design, UX research, or human-centered design methodology.\n\nFamiliarity with Anthropic's ecosystem - Claude Cowork, Claude Code, MCP connectors, skills and plugins.\n\nExperience in private equity, financial services, or healthcare. 90% of our training today is at PE-backed companies - domain fluency accelerates trust.\n\nChange management or enterprise adoption track record - you know a tool deployment is the beginning, not the end.\n\nExperience building or scaling a professional services practice. You've seen what breaks and have opinions about how to do it right.\n\nWHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE\nBuild AI that ships: every project ends in a live deployment, not a slide deck\n\nCraft meets velocity: we obsess over quality while delivering at startup speed\n\nOutcome-driven model: our work aligns with client success, not billable hours\n\nAI-native culture: you’ll work with peers who deeply understand modern AI’s potential and limits\n\nReal collaboration: open conversations, shared ownership, and space to bring your voice\n\nCOMPENSATION & BENEFITS\nCompetitive base salary with a revenue-based variable comp structure - when the company wins, you win. We offer comprehensive health coverage, 401(k) with match, flexible time off, flexible work arrangements, and support for professional development.\nABOUT BLANK METAL\nBlank Metal is an AI-native engineering company that partners with enterprises to deliver production AI fast.
