For AI, this is that window.\nWhat you’ll do\nWe’re looking for a Group Lead to steer the deployment teams bringing Wonderful’s enterprise AI into production across Germany and Austria.\nReporting directly to the Field CTO, you will lead 10 to 14 Deployment Strategists and Forward Deployed Engineers across 2/3 pods, with responsibility for 3 to 6 enterprise deployments at any one time. You’ll own delivery outcomes and team development, staying close to customers, technical decisions and the challenges that determine whether a deployment succeeds.\nYou have personally delivered software in customer environments and are ready to lead across multiple teams. You’ll bring technical credibility, clear judgement and the ability to turn complex situations into decisions and action.\nOwn deployment outcomes. Drive speed to production, deployment quality and customer value across your pods, supporting expansion and renewal.\n\nResolve critical challenges. Act as the first senior escalation point, challenge deployment plans and make scope, sequencing and resource decisions with customers and teams.\n\nStay ahead of risk. Identify struggling deployments early, remove blockers and keep delivery moving.\n\nLead and develop your people. Manage performance, coach Deployment Strategists and Forward Deployed Engineers, lead hiring for your group and help new joiners become productive quickly. Work with craft leads on hiring standards, promotions and career development.\n\nScale what works. Share knowledge across pods, encourage reusable solutions and turn recurring customer needs into evidence-based product feedback.\n\nShape new deployments. Partner with sales to qualify opportunities and define realistic scope, delivery plans and resource requirements.\n\nWhy should you\nHelp build Wonderful’s deployment organisation across Germany and Austria, with direct access to the regional Field CTO.\n\nLead a growing team while staying close to customers and the technical work.\n\nWork on cutting-edge agentic AI, delivering production systems for major enterprises.\n\nJoin a team of high-agency builders and help shape how we scale.\n\nA mix of home office and regular customer travel, approximately 30-50%.\n\nGreat salary with equity and revenue share\n\nWhat you’ll bring\nHands-on experience shipping software or deploying solutions inside customer environments as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Deployment Strategist, solutions architect or in a similar role.\n\nExperience leading engineers or strategists, either as a formal manager or a credible player-coach.\n\nThe technical judgement to challenge deployment plans, understand trade-offs and guide teams through difficult delivery decisions.\n\nCredibility with senior enterprise stakeholders, including CIOs and department heads, particularly when delivery is under pressure.\n\nA strong sense of ownership and the ability to make decisions with incomplete information, build structure and adapt as priorities change.\n\nGerman at C1 level or above, fluent English and willingness to travel regularly to customer sites.\n\nExperience scaling a deployment organisation beyond 20 people or deploying LLM-based systems into production would be a plus.\n\nIt would be highly beneficial if you have already worked in a start-up/scale up and/or in Gen AI.\n\nApply here, everyone will get a response\nCandidate Privacy
