Deployment Strategist

About HappyRobot

HappyRobot is the infrastructure for enterprises to build and orchestrate AI workforces. Our AI workers don't just communicate - they make decisions, take action, and run operations autonomously across voice, email, and enterprise systems. Born in Y Combinator (S23) and backed by a16z and Base10 with over $60M raised, we power critical operations for global enterprises worldwide.

Our platform is battle-tested in the most demanding environments - where AI has real consequences. We started in logistics, built our own voice stack, models, and orchestration layer from the ground up, and are now bringing that infrastructure to every enterprise that runs the real economy.

Role Overview

As a Deployment Strategist, your mission is to connect the dots between user needs, data insights, and product capabilities to help our customers unlock value. You’ll dive deep into our customer operations, partner directly with end users and decision-makers, and shape how HappyRobot’s technology is applied to their most critical challenges.

At HappyRobot, there’s no role seniority or hierarchy — we operate as a team of builders. We execute, we build, we own, and we care deeply about our customers and their success.
