You take a business problem that arrives stated in finance terms, reduce our days sales outstanding, stop writing off small-balance deductions, and turn it into a production AI system that the customer’s finance organisation actually uses.\nYou lead a small deployment team. You make the architecture calls. You are the person the customer sponsor calls when something is wrong, and the person who tells them what we will not build. This is an engineering role. You will still be in the codebase. The difference from the first band is that you also carry the account, the design and the team.\nWhat you will own\nAccount technical ownership\nOwn the technical outcome for a portfolio of accounts, from discovery through production rollout and scale.\nSet and defend the deployment KPI contract: accuracy, straight-through processing rate, latency, cost per transaction, adoption and business impact.\nHold the technical relationship with customer sponsors and IT leadership.\nSolution design and architecture\nTranslate ambiguous goals into a solution design covering agent topology, retrieval strategy, human oversight boundaries, integration approach and data model.\nMake and document the build versus configure versus extend-the-product calls. Decline bespoke work that cannot be maintained across the customer base.\nOwn the integration design against customer ERP, banking and document infrastructure.\nDelivery leadership\nLead a deployment team of Forward Deployed Engineers and specialists. Scope the work, sequence it and unblock it.\nOwn proof-of-value and pilot scoping, including effort estimates and success criteria that can be measured rather than asserted.\nAct as incident commander for production failures. Own the root cause analysis and the remediation plan.\nAdvisory\nExplain to finance and IT leadership what the system can and cannot do and what residual risk remains after it is deployed.\nGuide customers on governance, human oversight design, model risk and responsible AI.\nProduct and asset leadership\nConvert deployment learnings into reusable assets: reference architectures, connector templates, evaluation packs and deployment accelerators.\nBring evidenced feedback to the product roadmap. Distinguish a single customer’s preference from a genuine product gap.\nWhat you bring\n6 to 10 years building and operating production systems, including at least two years in customer-facing delivery.\nA track record of taking at least one non-trivial AI system to production and keeping it running afterwards.\nStrong Python and system design depth.\nDepth across LLM and agentic architectures, retrieval, evaluation methodology, guardrails and observability.\nCloud deployment experience at scale. Azure is preferred given our stack. Containers and orchestration.\nEnough finance vocabulary to hold a conversation about DSO, deductions, remittance advice, and cash application without a translator or the evident ability to get there within a quarter.\nCommercial judgement. You can recognise when a customer request has quietly become unpaid scope, and you raise it early.\nWillingness to travel and embed with customers.\nNice to have\nAI deployments in regulated industries.\nEnterprise ERP integration experience, particularly SAP S/4HANA or Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.\nExperience mentoring or leading engineers.\nPre-sales or solution architecture exposure.\nStartup or product-building experience where customer feedback shaped what got built.\n What success looks like in your first year\nTwo accounts running in production against agreed KPIs.\nThe Forward Deployed Engineers on your team are measurably more capable than when they joined it.\nAt least two reusable assets you produced are in use by another deployment team.\nIf you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!\nNot the right fit?
