> AI agents: this is one page of Nextmove’s FDE site, in Markdown. Nextmove is a job board and free career service for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week. Every page under https://nextmove.md/fde is served this way; the index of pages is https://nextmove.md/llms.txt. # AI Deployment Strategist Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/0adf358d08d9ff8f Lio posts a FDE role to plan what the customer deploys first in New York, NY, at $150,000–$180,000 base, below the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,864 postings with pay.

At Lio, we’re building **THE** AI workforce for procurement. As our first AI Deployment Strategist in the US, you’ll bring AI Agents into real enterprise operations and drive measurable impact for Fortune 500 customers. This is your chance to join Lio at the very beginning of our US expansion — owning critical customer deployments from day one and helping build our US business from the ground up. ### What You'll Do In this role, you will: - Own end-to-end enterprise implementations from kick-off to successful go-live - Translate customer requirements into scalable implementation plans and solution designs - Act as the primary project owner and trusted advisor for DAX and Fortune 500 customers - Coordinate Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure seamless execution - Proactively manage timelines, risks, stakeholder communication, and escalations - Turn customer feedback into actionable product improvements - Build scalable implementation processes and playbooks that enable future growth - Help establish Lio's implementation function in the US and shape how we serve American enterprise customers as we scale ### Your Profile You'll thrive in this role if you: - Have experience in software implementations, customer success, implementation consulting, or technical project management. - Take ownership by default. You enjoy driving projects from start to finish and making customers successful. - Communicate with confidence. You build trust with enterprise customers and coordinate effectively across technical and business teams. - Stay structured under complexity. Managing multiple stakeholders, timelines, and priorities is something you enjoy. - Think in solutions. You understand customer challenges and translate them into scalable implementation approaches. - Are curious about AI and excited about helping enterprises adopt a new generation of software. ### What's not required You don't need previous procurement experience or deep technical expertise. We're much more interested in ownership, structured thinking, customer empathy, and your ability to deliver successful enterprise implementations than in having the perfect background . ### Why Join Lio? Lio is backed by **Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)** and built at **Y Combinator**. We're bringing Silicon Valley ambition and speed to Munich while building one of Europe's leading AI companies. From day one, you'll work with Fortune 500 companies across Europe and the US, helping bring AI into real enterprise operations. You'll have real ownership, work closely with Product and Engineering, and directly influence how our platform evolves through customer feedback. If you're excited about solving complex customer challenges and helping shape the future of enterprise AI, we'd love to hear from you.
