Job Description

Sits within a newly acquired startup division building an AI-enabled, autonomous banking platform for Tier-1 financial institutions. The Forward Deployed Engagement Manager brings together pre-sales, delivery, and customer success — owning the bank engagement end to end from discovery through delivery, adoption, and expansion. Pairing directly with Forward Deployed Engineers, this role translates ambiguous mandates into scoped delivery, orchestrates priorities, and builds executive trust to deliver successful deployments.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Client Relationship & Discovery:

  • Own the large financial institution relationship: Primary point of contact — equal parts deployment strategist, technical program manager, and trusted advisor. Build long-term relationships with bank engineering, architecture, and business leadership.
  • Problem solving: Embed with bank teams to understand current-state pain points and modernization priorities. Identify workloads where the Platform creates the most value.
  • Pair with FDEs: Work hand in hand with Forward Deployed Engineers to translate ambiguous mandates into clearly scoped technical work.

Program Delivery & Expansion:

  • Program and delivery management: Own end-to-end delivery from proof of value to go-live — scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, and resourcing. Run steering committees with executive sponsors.
  • Drive adoption: Ensure bank engineers are trained and adoption grows across product lines and business units.

Commercial Support:

  • Presales: Support sales with demos, business case development, and platform education for prospective clients.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & CAPABILITIES Skills & Knowledge:

  • Program and delivery management: Proven track record managing complex, multi-workstream technical programs with hard deadlines, regulatory constraints, and multiple stakeholder groups.
  • Technical fluency: Can hold their own in technical conversations including understand technology architectures and data flow diagrams.
  • Change management: Has driven adoption and ensured technology changes stick inside large organizations.
  • AI fluency: Utilizes AI in day-to-day workflow and can articulate the benefits of AI

Experience:

  • 6+ years in a customer-facing, delivery-oriented role (e.g., Deployment Strategist, Technical Program Manager, or Management Consultant)
  • Track record driving complex technology programs to production — not just planning them.
  • Fintech / banking: Preference for knowledge of financial transaction flows, core banking systems, or banking technology.

Operating Style:

  • Strategist who ships: Owns outcomes, not recommendations. Adapts when the plan meets reality.
  • High agency: Thrives in ambiguity; operates autonomously in matrixed bank environments.
  • Executive communicator: Presents to CxOs with clarity and confidence. Translates technical complexity into business impact.
  • Travel: Travel to client sites as needed (expect 25–50% depending on engagement phase).

IMPACT & SCOPE

  • Direct impact on core banking platforms used by Tier-1 global institutions.
  • High autonomy and accountability within a small, senior team.
  • Work shipped directly to production environments at enterprise scale.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
