Forward Deployed Delivery Manager
At Astraeus, Forward Deployed Delivery Managers own the successful deployment of our systems in real customer environments. You’ll work across customers, engineers, and internal teams to ensure complex implementations move quickly from idea to production
This is not a traditional project management role. You’re not here to track tasks, you’re here to drive outcomes. You’ll operate in the middle of ambiguity, push work forward across multiple streams, and ensure that what gets built actually delivers value in production. You will own delivery across stakeholders, timelines, dependencies, and execution risk, helping turn complex customer environments into successful live deployments.
What you’ll do
- Own end-to-end delivery of customer deployments, from initial scoping through production rollout
- Drive execution across multiple parallel workstreams, covering (technical, operational, and stakeholder dimensions
- Work directly with customer stakeholders to align priorities, unblock decisions, and maintain momentum
- Partner closely with engineers and Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure requirements, sequencing, and execution stay aligned as systems move towards production
- Identify risks early, make tradeoffs, and keep implementations moving under real-world constraints
- Hold a high bar for what “done” means: systems that work in practice, not just in plans
- Serve as the central point of accountability for deployment progress, cross-functional coordination, and production readiness
What we’re looking for
- 2–5 years of experience in a high-performance, client-facing environment
- Demonstrated ownership of complex deliverables, not just coordination, but execution
- Ability to operate independently and push work forward without waiting for direction
- Strong judgment in ambiguous environments with competing priorities
- Credibility working with both business stakeholders and technical teams
Strong signals
- You’ve led implementation workstreams where success depended on you driving progress
- You’re known for getting things done under tight timelines and imperfect conditions
- You naturally step in to unblock teams rather than escalate or wait
- You’re comfortable getting into the details when needed, not just staying at the surface
- You can keep multiple stakeholders aligned without losing speed, accountability, or quality
You might be a fit if you:
- Prefer driving real outcomes over managing timelines and status updates
- Get frustrated when work stalls and instinctively push it forward
- Enjoy working directly with customers but want to be accountable for results
- Thrive in fast-moving environments where roles are fluid and expectations are high
- Like being the person who makes sure complex work actually lands in production
Why Astraeus
- You’ll own real deployments with visible impact
- You’ll work at the intersection of customers, product, and engineering
- You’ll operate with high autonomy and high accountability
- You’ll help define how AI-native systems get deployed successfully inside complex organizations
