AI Deployment Strategist

Summary

Tallwave is a digital agency that helps enterprise clients achieve ambitious goals through data-driven marketing, design, and creative problem solving. The AI Deployment Strategist diagnoses delivery bottlenecks, advises client sponsors, and builds and deploys AI-powered tools within real workflows. The role involves facilitating workshops, prototyping with AI coding agents, driving user adoption, evaluating results, and presenting recommendations.

Responsibilities

• Design and run workshops. Diagnosis sessions, interviews, and process mapping with the people inside the bottleneck. You plan the session, run the wall, and write the synthesis
• Name the constraint. Separate what annoys people from what slows the flow. Write a hypothesis with a mechanism, a metric, and a clock, so it can fail
• Prototype with agents. Build working tool slices with AI coding agents on real data and real tasks, inside the real workflow. Own the prompts, the agent flow, and the first read of output quality
• Get it used. Sit with users, watch them work, and fix what blocks adoption. Usage in live work is the result you own
• Read the signal. Track whether the hypothesis holds. Say so plainly when it does not, and propose the pivot
• Present. Turn what you found and built into decision-ready material for sponsors, and present it yourself
• Hold the client room with the Lead. Earn the trust of the operators and the sponsor, and keep the work moving through slow organizations

Skills

• 1. Two to five years in product management, UX design, service design, product design, or consulting on digital products
• 2. You have designed and facilitated workshops with real stakeholders and turned the output into decisions
• 3. You build with AI. You have shipped a working prototype with Claude Code, Cursor, or a comparable coding agent, and you can show it
• 4. AI fluency. You understand LLMs, agents, retrieval, and evaluation well enough to design around their limits
• 5. Bias for action. You would rather ship a rough version this week than a polished one next month
• 6. Fearless in the room. You are comfortable asking a director why a process exists, and comfortable being wrong out loud
• 7. You write short, clear, structured prose. Your documents get read
• 8. Comfort in ambiguity. You find the critical problem in a messy situation and give it shape
• 9. Bias to proof and speed. Comfortable running experiments in a culture that prefers analysis
• 2. Remote in the United States. Regular travel to client sites is mandatory. Diagnosis happens in person
• At this time, this position is only open to applicants who are legally authorized to work in the United States and who are living in the United States
• You are not legally authorized to work in the United States
• You are not living in the 48 contiguous U.S. states, Alaska, or Hawai'i
• You will require any kind of visa sponsorship
• A good understanding of design and UX. Designers who build are the closest thing to this role that already exists
• Experience inside a large, regulated enterprise: consumer goods, financial services, healthcare
• Light scripting or data comfort. Enough to inspect a dataset without waiting for an analyst
• Experience running design sprints, build weeks, or similar time-boxed formats
