Fulcrum median: 89 days open

The posting

Manufacturing is one of the most important industries in the world, yet much of the technology supporting it hasn't kept pace.

We're building a fundamentally different future for manufacturing software.

Fulcrum is evolving from a traditional manufacturing software company into an AI-native company. We're not interested in simply adding AI features to existing systems. We're rethinking how work gets done, building products that can take on increasingly complex work themselves and give manufacturers capabilities that weren't possible before.

That same thinking shapes how we work internally. We believe small teams of exceptional people, equipped with powerful tools and the freedom to make decisions, can accomplish extraordinary things.

We're looking for people who are naturally curious, take ownership, and aren't satisfied doing something a certain way just because that's how it's always been done. People who like figuring things out, building things, challenging assumptions, and continuously expanding what they're capable of.

There's a lot we're still figuring out, and that's part of the opportunity. If you're energized by meaningful problems, ambitious goals, and the chance to help build something genuinely different, you'll find plenty to do here.

About the Role

What You'll Do

  • Lead customers through the full implementation process, from discovery through successful launch and adoption.
  • Own project timelines, milestones, deliverables, and customer communication across multiple launches.
  • Develop a deep understanding of each customer's manufacturing operations, business goals, and existing workflows.
  • Translate complex operational requirements into practical solutions using Fulcrum.
  • Anticipate risks, dependencies, and obstacles, proactively developing solutions to keep launches moving.
  • Help customers navigate operational change, build confidence in new processes, and successfully adopt Fulcrum.
  • Ask thoughtful questions to uncover what customers actually need, even when they have difficulty articulating it.
  • Look beyond a customer's initial request to understand the underlying business problem.
  • Understand how departments, stakeholders, and operational processes influence one another.
  • Navigate competing priorities, internal dynamics, and differing perspectives within customer organizations.
  • Connect implementation decisions to broader business goals, balancing customer needs, technical capabilities, and practical constraints.
  • Continuously expand your understanding of manufacturing operations and identify opportunities customers may not recognize themselves.
  • Independently use AI-assisted development tools to build functional solutions, automate workflows, and solve customer problems.
  • Create or adapt tools, troubleshoot integrations, transform data, and improve operational workflows using AI-assisted approaches.
  • Experiment with new technologies and approaches rather than automatically relying on Engineering for every technical challenge.
  • Evaluate the quality, reliability, and practical usefulness of solutions before implementing them.
  • Recognize when deeper technical expertise is needed and collaborate with Engineering when appropriate.
  • Identify opportunities to improve internal launch processes through automation, better tooling, and repeatable solutions.
  • Build trusted customer relationships through clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and consistent follow-through.
  • Explain complex technical and operational concepts in ways different audiences can understand.
  • Set realistic expectations, communicate tradeoffs, and confidently navigate difficult conversations.
  • Collaborate with Sales, Product, Engineering, Support, and Account Management to deliver successful customer outcomes.
  • Bring recommendations and potential solutions when raising problems rather than simply escalating issues.
  • Share customer insights and recurring challenges to improve Fulcrum's products and implementation processes.

Who You Are

  • Naturally curious. You genuinely want to understand how things work. You ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and dig beneath surface-level answers.
  • An exceptional problem-solver. You can take complicated, incomplete information and identify a thoughtful, practical path forward.
  • A technical builder. You're comfortable independently using AI-assisted tools to create functional solutions, automate workflows, and solve technical problems. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you enjoy building and figuring things out.
  • Industrious and self-directed. You naturally look for things to improve, build, or solve. You take initiative without waiting for someone to assign you a problem.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity. You can make sound decisions, adapt as new information emerges, and maintain momentum without needing every detail mapped out.
  • Perceptive and thoughtful. You read between the lines, recognize unspoken concerns, and understand how people, processes, and competing priorities influence outcomes.
  • An excellent communicator. You build trust, explain complicated concepts clearly, and navigate difficult conversations with confidence and empathy.
  • Accountable for outcomes. You take ownership, follow through on commitments, and measure your success by the problems you've solved rather than the tasks you've completed.
  • Always learning. You're motivated to continuously expand your understanding of technology, manufacturing, and what you're capable of accomplishing.
  • Experience in customer implementation, technical consulting, solutions engineering, project management, or another role involving complex customer problems.
  • Strong ability to understand business processes, map workflows, and translate operational needs into practical solutions.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently use AI-assisted tools to build functional solutions, automate workflows, or solve technical problems.
  • Experience managing complex projects involving multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
  • Strong technical aptitude, analytical skills, and comfort learning new software and systems.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to manage customer relationships independently.
  • Experience with APIs, integrations, data migration, or workflow automation is a plus.
  • Experience with manufacturing operations, ERP systems, or other complex operational software is a plus.
  • We care more about your curiosity, judgment, technical resourcefulness, and ability to solve difficult problems than whether you've followed a traditional implementation or technical career path.

What Success Looks Like

  • You independently lead complex customer launches from discovery through successful implementation and adoption.
  • You understand your customers' businesses deeply enough to identify problems and opportunities they may not have recognized themselves.
  • You turn ambiguous operational challenges into thoughtful, practical solutions without needing constant direction.
  • You use AI-assisted tools to independently build solutions, improve workflows, and solve technical problems.
  • Customers trust your judgment, communication, and ability to guide them through difficult decisions.
  • You anticipate obstacles, navigate competing priorities, and maintain momentum across multiple launches.
  • You improve how launches are delivered, making the process more effective and scalable.
  • Your impact is measured by successful customer outcomes and meaningful operational improvements, not simply the number of implementation tasks completed

Salary + Benefits

  • $85,000 - $135,000 base salary
  • Equity
  • 401(k) matching after 90 days - immediate vesting
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Wellbeing benefits and perks
  • Unlimited vacation policy with minimum required vacation days
  • Cell phone & internet plan coverage

We're not here to make incremental improvements to the way things have always been done. We're here to rethink what's possible.

That takes people who are curious, ambitious, and excited to figure things out that haven't been figured out before.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to build with you.
