Deployment Strategist - Consumer

About the Company

Pilots don't train with real passengers. Actors don't rehearse with real audiences. Yet, the most consequential decisions in society are often pushed straight to production.

Simile is changing that. We have built the first AI simulation of society, populated by generative agents based on real humans. Our research pioneered the field of AI-based simulation, proving it is possible to model human behavior with high accuracy. Today, we are developing a Foundation Model to predict human behavior in any situation, at any scale.

We have raised $300M in total funding, with a $2B post-money valuation in our latest round. Our investors include Greenoaks, Index Ventures, Hanabi, A*, Bain Capital Ventures, Factory, CVS Health Ventures, and Definition.

About the Role

Deployment Strategist at Simile means making sure simulation is deeply valuable to our customers. You’ll get to know their business well enough to see where simulation can change a decision, then help them turn those problems into simulations. You'll take what you learn back to our product and research teams to collaborate on what we build next.

The people who do well here are energized by customers and their experience in the product: building relationships, digging into hard problems, and staying on top of the details. You'll move fast, have real ownership early, and work closely with product and research on problems that matter to Fortune 500 organizations across industries.

We work with customers across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, pharma, retail, CPG, financial services and entertainment. Depending on your past experience, your interests and the team’s needs, you may work with one customer or several, in one vertical or across a few. We’ll talk through this with you during your interviews.

Ideally, you'd have:

Experience from one of three areas:

1. Operators coming from companies that deploy enterprise AI or data products

2. Strategy consultants or investors who want to move into tech to own outcomes

3. PMs or engineers who got pulled into the business and customer side and never looked back

In this role, you will:

• Own your Customers: Be the person your customers rely on - responsive, on top of the details, and trusted to get things done

• Drive Deployments: Own enterprise customer engagements from first call to full deployment and beyond

• Know the Product: Go deep on Simile's platform - simulations, population modeling, evals, and validations - and bring that knowledge into every customer conversation

• Work Cross-functionally: Bridge the gap between what customers need and what product and modeling teams build, and make sure the right insights from the field shape internal decisions

• Shape the Business: Take on high-impact projects that span the full business - from how we land new customers to how we think about simulation quality and what we build next
