Deployment Strategist

ABOUT THE ROLE

Calibrax AI operates at the frontier of AI strategy and execution. We help organisations define their AI vision and turn it into tangible, working solutions, and we do so with the rigour and commercial sophistication of a top-tier consulting firm. Our founders bring deep operational and technical expertise from some of the world's leading fintech and technology organisations.

We are looking for a Deployment Strategist who combines the strategic horsepower of an MBB-caliber consultant with the executional instincts needed to drive AI transformation in complex client environments. You will lead client engagements from scoping through delivery, own work streams across strategy and implementation, and play a pivotal role in shaping how Calibrax deploys AI at scale. This role is calibrated for someone operating at Project Lead or Engagement Manager level.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a structured thinker who thrives in complex, ambiguous environments. You bring a skilled consultant approach to problem-solving, issue trees, hypothesis-led thinking, crisp slide narratives, but you're not wedded to process for its own sake. You know when to move fast and when to go deep.

You're commercially wired. You understand how clients measure success, how decisions get made inside large organisations, and how to build relationships that go beyond the deliverable. You've managed senior stakeholders before and you know how to hold the room.

You have genuine curiosity about AI and technology. You don't need to be an engineer, but you need to be fluent enough to credibly advise on AI strategy, challenge technical assumptions, and connect business problems to AI solutions. You want to understand what's actually being built, not just what's in the deck.

MUST HAVES

• 3–6 years at an MBB or Tier-1 strategy/technology consulting firm (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Accenture Strategy, Kearney, or equivalent)

• Experience leading client engagements or significant work streams with limited supervision

• Strong analytical and communication skills, you produce executive-ready outputs and can present to C-suite

• Demonstrated exposure to technology, digital transformation, or AI strategy projects

• High degree of commercial acumen and ability to manage client relationships

• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, startup-scale environment with lean resourcing

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Clients view you as a trusted strategic advisor, not just a deliverable factory

• You drive engagement quality: structured, commercially relevant, on time, and clearly communicated

• You identify expansion opportunities within existing client relationships and help shape the Calibrax commercial pipeline

• You translate complex AI concepts into compelling business narratives that win internal buy-in for clients

• You build and manage relationships at Director, VP, and C-suite levels with confidence

• You bring the rigour of consulting and the pace of a startup, delivering in weeks, not quarters
