About the role
Decagon is a conversational AI platform trusted by leading enterprises to transform customer experience through intelligent agents. The company works with Fortune 500 brands like Avis, Block's Cash App and Square, Chime, and Oura Health to deploy AI agents across voice, chat, email, SMS and multiple other channels. Backed by top-tier investors including a16z, Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, and Coatue, Decagon is reshaping how businesses move beyond support tickets toward meaningful, personalized customer relationships.
The Deployment Strategists team operates at the highest level of complexity, partnering directly with C-suite executives to architect and deliver transformational AI solutions. This is not a standard implementation or account management function. You work on the most demanding, largest-scale deployments in the market, where deep customization, strategic judgment, and executive-level partnership are essential. Every deployment you lead generates playbooks and intellectual property that compounds value across the entire organization.
What you'll do
- Own technical delivery and strategic adoption of AI agent solutions end-to-end on Decagon's largest accounts, partnering with Sales, Solutions Engineers, and Forward-deployed teams to build production-grade agents that convert sophisticated buyers.
- Become the executive partner to Fortune 500 C-suite leaders, defining their AI transformation roadmap and maintaining the relationship from initial scoping through production deployment and expansion.
- Design, build, and optimize enterprise-grade AI agents in production by diving deep into customer workflows, pain points, and business objectives.
- Develop reusable frameworks and deployment playbooks that become scalable assets feeding directly into Decagon's product roadmap and raising quality across all future builds.
- Direct Forward-deployed engineers and cross-functional teams to execute at scale while maintaining accountability for outcomes.
- Create tight feedback loops with Product and Engineering teams based on insights from your front-line work on the most demanding deployments.
What you'll bring
- Six or more years building trust with senior executives while owning ambiguous, high-stakes outcomes. This includes roles as engagement managers, project leaders, or senior managers at top consulting firms, or product managers, founders, and solutions leaders at high-growth technology companies.
- A builder's mentality: you prefer designing and constructing the actual solution over diagnosing problems or delegating to others.
- Strong technical acumen to understand and shape AI agent architecture while holding your own in technical discussions with both engineers and executives.
- Executive presence and a proven ability to become a trusted strategic advisor to senior decision-makers at large, complex organizations.
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you shape the solution while implementing it.
Nice to have
- Computer Science, Engineering, or Math degree, or equivalent hands-on technical experience.

- Experience selling, deploying, or advising on enterprise software or transformation initiatives at Fortune 500 companies.
