AI Deployment Lead

The Client is signing its first US customers and needs a founding operator to own everything that happens after the sale: implementation, deployment, customer success, and account expansion. This is a greenfield role with no existing US ops playbook, reporting directly to the CEO, and sitting at the center of the company’s ability to retain and grow its early US customer base. The primary metric is net revenue retention. The person in this seat will build the US ops function from the ground up, then grow it into a three-person team. Success in the first year looks like roughly $1 million in ARR deployed and in production across US accounts, with a replicable onboarding process documented and handed off.

About The Company The Client builds AI voice agents for healthcare, automating appointment scheduling, inbound call handling, and patient-provider communication so clinical staff can focus on care.
