Deployment Strategist

About the Role

This is the customer- and stakeholder-facing half of a Forward Deployed Engineering function at a fintech company building compliance and identity infrastructure for businesses. You will own the end-to-end deployment experience for enterprise clients, ensuring they extract maximum value from the product while feeding on-the-ground insights back to shape how the team builds and scales.

What You'll Do

• Partner with enterprise customers to design and execute implementations tailored to their specific needs.

• Manage stakeholder relationships across complex organizations with competing priorities.

• Lead detailed project planning and execution during deployments, keeping all teams aligned and on track.

• Analyze customer requirements early, break them into actionable priorities, and communicate trade-offs clearly.

• Collaborate with product, engineering, and growth teams to identify friction points and improve implementation processes.

• Build documentation, tooling, and playbooks that make future deployments smoother and more scalable.

What We're Looking For

• 4 to 5 or more years of relevant professional experience, with at least 3 years in customer-facing deployment, implementation, or solutions engineering roles.

• Meaningful expertise in KYB, KYC, AML, regulated onboarding, or a closely related compliance domain, this is the strongest signal for the role.

• Operating experience in fintech, banking, or a startup environment; candidates with exclusively management-consulting backgrounds and no operating experience are not a strong fit.

• Demonstrated experience managing enterprise software implementations end-to-end, from kickoff through go-live, including scope and stakeholder coordination.

• Proficiency with project management methodologies such as Agile, Waterfall, or Scrum, and tools like Jira, Asana, or similar.

• Proven ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences without losing nuance.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, especially bridging product, engineering, and customer-facing teams.

• Experience with SaaS or fintech products, identity platforms, or payment and financial infrastructure is a plus.

• Comfort with ambiguity and rapidly evolving processes in high-growth environments.
