We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.\nWe are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited.\nAbout the job\nMistral is hiring a Head of FDE Learning Programs to build the learning system for one of the company’s fastest-growing organizations. Mistral is scaling its FDE organization from its first hire to several hundred Deployment Strategists and Applied AI Engineers within two years. Your mandate is to make capability grow as fast as headcount without lowering the bar for customer work.\nYou will own:\nLearning content: Build practical learning across three areas: technical skills, strategic and business capabilities, and product enablement.\n\nOnboarding: Build a clear path from a new hire’s first week to independent customer work.\n\nTechnical bootcamps: Turn new products, research, and field methods into practical training for customer work.\n\nStrategic bootcamps: Empower client-facing teams of FDEs to drive business and strategic discussions and to set up for success large partnership programs with customers\n\nProgram ownership: Own the roadmap, curriculum, contributor model, regional delivery, tools, measurement, and central team.\n\nScaling: Launch useful programs now, then adapt them for larger cohorts without making the content generic or relying on a small group of experts.\n\nTeam building: Launch the first programs, build a network of instructors, and hire the team needed to support several hundred FDEs.\n\nCross-functional work: Work with functional managers, Product, Engineering, Science, People, GTM Enablement, DevRel, and regional leaders.\n\nReadiness standards: Ensure FDEs in every region meet the same standard, can find current material, learn from recent customer work, and understand expectations at the next career level.\n\nKnowledge structuration: Ensure internal resources are up to date and pushed to the right stakeholders with a knowledge management approach.\n\nHow We Work in Solutions\nWe care about people and outputs.\n\nWhat matters is what you ship, not the time you spend on it\n\nBureaucracy is where urgency goes to vanish. You talk to whoever you need to talk to. The best idea wins, whether it comes from a principal engineer or someone in their first week.\n\nAlways ask why. The best solutions come from deep understanding, not from copying what worked before\n\nWe say what we mean. Feedback is direct, timely, and given because we care.\n\nNo politics. Low ego, high standards.\n\nWe embrace an unstructured environment and find joy in it.\n\nAbout you\nYou have helped build a learning, enablement, or capability function for a technical organization during rapid growth. You can start as the first dedicated owner, deliver useful programs immediately, and build the team and operating model needed to serve several hundred people.\n\nYou are technically fluent enough to work credibly with AI engineers, Product, and Science, inspect the substance of a program, and challenge material that is unclear or outdated.\n\nYou have designed programs that work across cohorts, regions, and experience levels without reducing the content to generic training.\n\nYou can lead work across senior stakeholders, subject-matter experts, managers, and operational partners without relying on reporting lines.\n\nYou can make firm trade-offs when hiring demand, expert capacity, and program quality compete for attention.\n\nYou pay attention to the full learner experience, including communications, scheduling, practice, feedback, and manager follow-through.\n\nYou use evidence to decide which programs to expand, revise, or stop.\n\nYou communicate clearly with executives, managers, technical experts, and learners.\n\nYou are fluent in English and can work with teams across regions and time zones.\n\nIdeally, you have\nScaled a one-person or small learning function into a team and program that served hundreds of technical employees.\n\nBuilt onboarding that kept pace with rapid hiring in an engineering, FDE, solutions, consulting, or professional-services organization.\n\nDesigned and operated technical bootcamps or other cohort-based learning programs.\n\nWorked in technical DevRel, developer education, or a related role built around demos, code examples, workshops, and practitioner communities.\n\nBuilt role- and level-based curricula connected to skills frameworks or career progression.\n\nManaged a global program with contributors and learners across multiple regions.\n\nWorked closely with Product, Engineering, Science, People, and customer-facing teams.\n\nDesigned practical assessments, readiness standards, or certification where appropriate.\n\nUsed learning platforms, knowledge systems, AI coaches, or program-operations tooling.\n\nWorked in AI/ML or another technically complex and fast-changing field.\n\nWhy this role matters\nMistral is compressing years of organization growth into two. An FDE organization of several hundred people cannot depend on manager-by-manager onboarding, one-off sessions, and informal access to experts. If learning capacity trails hiring, ramp times would lengthen, standards would diverge, and teams would repeat the same mistakes across regions.\nThis role will build the programs, teaching network, and systems at the same pace as the organization. Two years from now, success would mean several hundred Deployment Strategists and Applied AI Engineers working from shared standards, learning new capabilities quickly, and improving the system with evidence from customer work.\nWhat We Offer\nWe offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and work-life balance.
