Requirements
  • At least 5 years of experience in service design, user experience, product, strategy consulting, change enablement, or a similar client-facing role helping people work differently.
  • Demonstrable human-centered design mindset, starting with the work and the people doing it rather than the tool.
  • Hands-on fluency with Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, or similar agentic platforms, including prompt design, skill building, and understanding how these tools change work.
  • Experience designing and delivering workshops or enablement sessions that change behavior.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for working with executives and engineers.
  • Comfort working with ambiguity and moving quickly.
Responsibilities
  • Design and deliver training ranging from half-day leadership sessions to multi-week engagements.
  • Facilitate workshops that help technical and non-technical teams build confidence with tools and measure whether the learning is retained.
  • Coach client champions through adoption beyond tool proficiency.
  • Identify follow-on opportunities during and after training and provide Account Leads with context for scoping and closing them.
  • Analyze how work is actually performed before redesigning it.
  • Redesign workflows around partner tools while keeping humans in the loop.
  • Build skills, plugins, playbooks, and connector patterns alongside clients.
  • Document workflow redesigns so they can be replicated across teams and departments.
  • Partner with clients to identify high-value artificial intelligence use cases and build business cases.
  • Lead discovery workshops and use-case prioritization sessions using the Blueprint scoring framework.
  • Collaborate with Account Leads to scope engagements and define success metrics.
  • Own the partner enablement methodology, including curriculum, session playbooks, assessment tools, and certification pathways.
  • Create reusable workflow patterns and training assets for future engagements.
  • Define quality standards, client outcomes, and adoption signals to track and feed back into the curriculum.
  • Support pre-sales through scoping, proposal development, and helping Account Leads explain engagement deliverables.
  • Proactively solve problems when the approach is not working.
Desired Qualifications
  • Background in service design, user experience research, or human-centered design methodology.
  • Familiarity with Anthropic’s ecosystem, including Claude Cowork, Claude Code, MCP connectors, skills, and plugins.
  • Experience in private equity, financial services, or healthcare.
  • Change management or enterprise adoption experience.
  • Experience building or scaling a professional services practice.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • June 24, 2025 seed funding from Rally Ventures extends runway.
  • Vercel's AI Cloud, AI SDK, and AI Gateway expand Blank Metal's delivery toolkit.
  • The GoKart Labs team history gives Blank Metal repeatable enterprise relationships and operating muscle.

What critics are saying

  • A Vercel-heavy go-to-market creates partner dependency if Vercel changes terms in 2027.
  • Fixed-price AI delivery compresses margins when clients demand endless scope changes.
  • If production projects stall, the 90-day promise becomes an existential credibility failure.

What makes Blank Metal unique

  • Blank Metal pairs senior engineers with fixed-price, KPI-linked engagements instead of hourly consulting.
  • Its 90-day production guarantee and weekly shipping cadence differentiate it from traditional SI firms.
  • Vercel's September 3, 2026 partner listing validates its enterprise AI implementation positioning.
