We believe that by building Fides, the operating system for Data Privacy & AI Governance, we can solve the world's most critical and challenging problems of trust and safety in data and AI-driven enterprise - on behalf of every person. We partner with the most important institutions in the world to transform the safety, trust, and integrity of their data and technology systems. Our software has been used to power the safety and privacy of millions of users globally.\nRole\nYou will lead Ethyca's Mission Engineering Group (MEG) - our embedded delivery team combining legal-grade precision with deep technical integration. Reporting to the CEO and working closely with product and engineering, you'll own the full mission lifecycle: from presales through the first 90-day deployment sprint, and through the ongoing continuity program (MEG-C) that ensures customers keep unlocking value as their data systems evolve.\nMEG has two components you'll lead:\nEmbedded Delivery - Deployment Managers and Forward Deployed Engineers who provide comprehensive privacy engineering, program management, and technical expertise to ensure successful rollout for every client.\nMEG Continuity (MEG-C) - Technical Account Managers who assume ongoing ownership post-mission, maintaining shared accountability for customer success over time.\nThis is a player-coach role. You'll build the systems that make delivery scalable and repeatable, while personally shaping strategy and outcomes for our most critical partners.\nResponsibilities\nLead and scale MEG across both functions - Embedded Delivery and MEG-C - with clear KPIs for deployment velocity, customer health, and expansion.\n\nEngineer the shortest path from deployment to provable value: own the 90-day mission model and ensure every engagement delivers measurable outcomes within that window.\n\nDevelop and implement standardized playbooks, processes, and handoff protocols - from initial engagement through MEG-C continuity - to improve repeatability and reduce time-to-value across all enterprise engagements.\n\nOwn executive-level relationships with client stakeholders, including C-suite sponsors, aligning technical delivery to business value at every stage.\n\nServe as the senior escalation point and strategic partner across ~12 ongoing complex deployments; ensure issues are resolved with urgency and care.\n\nAct as a consultative solution partner during pre-sales and implementation phases, helping clients understand how Ethyca can address their privacy, governance, and compliance needs.\n\nCollaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Legal, and Engineering to surface client feedback and drive roadmap alignment.\n\nHire selectively and intentionally as the team scales, maintaining a high-performance bar across both delivery tracks.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like (First 6-12 Months)\n90%+ of new clients achieve a defined value milestone within the first 90 days\n\nEmbedded Delivery to MEG-C handoff is seamless: documented, repeatable, and adopted across all accounts\n\n15% growth in client expansion revenue driven by MEG-C continuity\n\nExecutive sponsor relationships established at top 5 clients\n\nReduced deployment cycle time by 30%\n\nRequirements\n10+ years of experience in client delivery, forward deployment, technical program management, or solution consulting, with significant leadership responsibilities.\n\nProven success leading complex, global enterprise deployments in a fast-paced software or data infrastructure environment (e.g., privacy, security, cloud, AI, or data governance).\n\nExperience building operational systems - playbooks, handoff protocols, KPIs - that enable scaling client delivery teams.\n\nDemonstrated ability to manage high-performing cross-functional teams, ideally in startup or high-growth environments.\n\nExecutive presence: able to confidently navigate enterprise client conversations, including at the C-suite level.\n\nExcellent project and stakeholder management skills with a bias for structured execution and clarity.\n\nWorking knowledge of data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), data infrastructure, or AI governance is a plus.\n\nBonus: Experience at companies with structured deployment models (e.g., Palantir, Stripe, Snowflake, Databricks, or similar).\n\nWhy Ethyca?\nImpact: Work on high-stakes projects that directly shape industries and solve critical global problems.\n\nGrowth: Collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry and continue to grow your skills in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.\n\nOwnership: Drive significant outcomes across sales and post-sales engagements while leading teams to success.\n\nBenefits\nCompetitive cash and equity compensation\n\n100% medical and dental insurance coverage for you and your dependent(s)\n\nRemote-friendly office hours and vacation policy\n\nSponsored company lunches and events\n\nParental leave and 401K plan\n\nOur benefits aim to promote health and well-being across all areas of Ethycans' lives. We work to continuously improve our offerings and listen to our community as we design and update them.\nLife at Ethyca\nWe want every Ethycan to achieve their best outcomes. That's why we celebrate individuals' strengths, skills, and interests - from your first interview to your long-term growth - rather than rely on traditional career ladders. Ethyca is a distributed team with headquarters in NYC and remote workers across the US. In keeping with Ethyca's values and culture, we believe employees \"share the work\" as one team, and in-person work affords the opportunity for more creative outcomes. We encourage our MEG team to work from our offices to foster excellence in innovation and outcomes for our clients. Preference will be given to candidates able to come into our midtown Manhattan office at least 2 days a week.\nWe're a Data Privacy and AI Governance company building a missing piece of the internet's infrastructure: the operating system for governance that empowers users and businesses to manage data respectfully. Every day, Ethycans tackle one of the world's most challenging problems - how to make data and AI-driven technology safer for humanity - and think about the future of human rights as society increasingly moves online. If that sounds like the work you want to do, we'd like to speak with you.\nEthyca is committed to promoting a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion and is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer. We believe that all Ethycans share the responsibility of upholding our commitment to these values and encourage candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences to join us in solving the world's hardest problems.
