[Hiring] Forward Deployed Strategist @Lazer

Role Description

Join Lazer and help us solve problems and build the next generation of products!

• Embed with enterprise customers; act as a forward-deployed strategist on behalf of frontier AI labs and major AI companies, operating as an extension of their team and owning the path from signed contract to measurable value.
• Be the product manager for the customer's AI problem; lead discovery, map the organization, identify the use cases that will move the business, and define what success looks like.
• Communicate between customers and engineers; dissect feature requests, separate what the client is asking for from what they actually need, and hand engineers clear, prioritized requirements with the business context behind them.
• Own the plan and see it through; synthesize the needs of multiple stakeholders into a clear project plan, manage timelines, dependencies, and risks to ensure successful delivery, and keep leadership aligned with executive summaries, decks, and roadmaps that drive decisions.
• Turn users into builders; run workshops, office hours, and hands-on sessions that take non-technical teams from "what do I use this for?" to building their own AI workflows, and coach the mental game behind it: what to delegate, how to break work into steps an agent can handle, and when to trust the output.
• Make adoption stick; build curricula, guides, and playbooks for different teams and roles, track usage and outcomes, and surface blockers early so deployments move from experimentation to production.
• Grow the account and close the loop; turn early wins into broader rollouts and new scope, and bring sharp field insight back to our partners' product teams and Lazer's own deployment playbook.

Qualifications

• Consulting-trained with a technical lean.
• 3+ years in client-facing consulting, strategy, product, or project management roles with a track record of owning projects end to end, ideally in a technology, data, or AI practice at an MBB, Big Four, or equivalent firm.
• Hands-on AI power user; you use LLMs, agents, and AI workflow tools in your own work every day.
• Natural teacher; you excel at breaking down complex concepts and can explain AI to various audiences.
• Structured thinker; you find the real problem underneath vague requests and communicate it effectively.
• Trusted advisor; you build rapport quickly and notice where their business is headed.
• Technically fluent; you've worked closely alongside engineering or data teams.
• Comfortable in ambiguity; you're energized by first-of-a-kind problems.

Requirements

• Ability to read code or build simple prototypes, automations, or integrations.
• Prior experience at an AI company, or deploying enterprise AI products at scale.
• Experience using Claude, ChatGPT, Glean, or similar tools in a work setting.
• Product management experience at a software company.
• Background in enablement, instructional design, or change management for large, mixed-skill audiences.
• Familiarity with advanced AI concepts like RAG, MCPs, and agent orchestration.

Benefits

• Work From Anywhere: Choose your workspace — all you need is strong wifi and a passion for building!
• Work / Life Balance: We believe in our team’s ability to have it all; a great career, and time to unplug and live…you know...life.
• Employee Care: We provide full benefits (healthcare, dental, vision) for our employees (401k for our US employees).
• Unlimited PTO: Everyone needs a break. Take at least 15 days off a year, and more if you need—just be cool about it and keep the team in mind.
• Regular Team Retreat: Join us for a week of team bonding at amazing destinations. Recent trips include the Dominican Republic, Cancun, and Hawaii — plus ones welcome.
