Source description
About the role
You'll work alongside Faction's founding team to deploy our AI agents against the hardest problems in industrial commerce - taking customers from signed deal to live production, and keeping them there.
The role is intensely commercial and deeply product-centric - some days you're on a call walking through a demo you built, other days you're scoping a new feature with engineering. It requires a bias toward action, sharp product intuition, and deep empathy for the people doing this work every day.
What You'll DO
-
Deployments
-
Own live customers end-to-end. This is the biggest lever in the short term. You run multiple deployments from post-sale design through go-live and stabilization
-
Own the relationship with VP-level stakeholders throughout their deployment journey
-
Turn messy client reality into clear plans and strategy - coordinate daily with engineering and sales, translating client needs into engineering priorities and deployment context into deal strategy
-
Run user onboarding and training sessions; build the materials to support them throughout
-
Convert pilots into full deployments. Keep stakeholders engaged - visits, gifts, whatever it takes to stay close
-
Track usage across deployments - run reactivation sessions when engagement drops
-
Product
-
The biggest lever long-term. Product revamps are always underway, and customers are pulling for more products than we ship today
-
Own the cadence of what we sequence next: build, sell, deploy, keep sticky
-
Relentlessly identify what creates the most customer value and translate it into product. Combine exceptional taste with technical fluency, so ideas become specific, buildable features
-
Be aggressive about automation (including automating your own work)
-
Demos
-
Own the demo flow with engineering as a shared resource. Excellent demos are a massive unlock. You’d ship prospect-specific and vertical demos (e.g. PVF, HVAC, Electrical, Auto, LBM) - helping to close $XXm in ARR
-
Hiring
-
Document every process and lesson learned from deployments - then prepare to hire and build a team (FDE, SWE) underneath you that executes from these playbooks
-
Always be hiring. Engineering capacity is a global constraint on sales
-
EXAMPLE PROJECTS
-
Take a $5bn distributor from signed contract to full go-live in 3 weeks - mapping their ERP data model, configuring our AI agents against their catalog, training their inside sales team, and managing the executive relationship throughout
-
Build a demo environment that lets prospects see their own SKU data running through our system during a sales call - then iterate on it weekly based on close rates
-
Notice usage dropping at a live customer, diagnose the root cause, and go on-site to fix it
-
Write the PRD for a new product surface, ship it with engineering in two weeks, and deploy it to a customer in the third week
-
Stand up internal tooling that lets the team delegate repetitive deployment tasks to coding agents
What We're Looking FOR
-
A sharp, technical operator who wants to be in the room where deals close and systems go live. Specifically:
-
Product taste - especially on UI/UX, copy, AI failure modes
-
Customer obsession - craves feedback, watches usage data maniacally
-
Low ego - will do whatever it takes, no task too small
-
Technical - can read a PR, navigate an ERP schema, and debug an integration without flinching. Comfortable using coding agents and picking up whatever new concepts the job demands
-
Comfort in chaos - the role evolves as the company grows - this should energize you
-
Our Culture
-
Focus. Accelerate industrial commerce. Everything else is noise
-
Ownership. You build, deploy, and own outcomes
-
Velocity. Ship fast. No red tape. We work 9-9-6
-
Impact. Your work runs $Xbn+ customer operations
Compensation & Benefits
-
Top-of-line compensation and equity
-
Visa sponsorship - we will do everything in our power to get you to NYC
-
No barriers - we cover relocation, team meals, and whatever tools or resources you need to get the job done
-
Elite team - a small, intense group from the world's best institutions. We're obsessed with winning and have a lot of fun while making it happen
