> 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. # Deployment Strategist, Ecosystem Partnerships Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/da5f8e73543721b0 EliseAI posts a FDE role to plan what the customer deploys first in New York, NY, at $140,000–$180,000 base, below the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,864 postings with pay.

Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be. By integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone. - **Housing**: We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place. - **Healthcare**: We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork. With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate this mission. ### The Future Platforms Team - Executing on EliseAI's Future Products The Future Platforms team is responsible for executing on the next generation of AI products and business lines. This team will blend go-to-market, product, operations, and strategy with a mandate to push the frontier of AI and own everything required to take them from idea to market leadership. Our goal is to take Elise from agentic AI to truly end-to-end autonomous operations, fundamentally transforming how housing operators run their businesses and how residents experience their homes. Future Platforms will operate as a startup within a startup, run like a Seed or Series A company but with the capital, resources, and market access of a well-funded Series E, deep C-suite involvement (CEO, CRO, CSO, CTO) and founder-level ownership from day one. ### About The Role As the Deployment Strategist, you'll help clients make sense of their technology and vendor landscape, and design the future state of each client's ecosystem integrations in order to unlock the most of the EliseAI platform’s automation potential. You will then drive that vision to a live, working implementation. This is a cross-functional, high-autonomy role that centers on strategic execution, with real influence over how we build and scale this motion. You'll work hand-in-hand with Engagement Managers in the Future Platforms team, who own the overall client relationship, and the Partnerships team, who build relationships with the ecosystem of technology partners you'll draw on. Because this function is early and scaling quickly, you won't just run these engagements - you'll systematize how we do them, building the repeatable playbooks, processes, and vendor knowledge base that let us do this well at scale. ### Key Responsibilities - Own vendor and technology advisory end-to-end: serve as the primary advisor to clients navigating their technology stack, from initial assessment through implementation and go-live - Lead discovery and decisioning: translate a client's existing vendor landscape into clear future state recommendations - Drive partner enablement: facilitate client-to-vendor dialogues, coordinate with technology partners and internal stakeholders to scope and drive new integrations, and manage vendor implementations in support of client launches - Contribute to the playbook: feed lessons from client engagements into the processes, templates, and automation that improve speed and quality as we scale ### Move at rocket speed, build something massive. We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff. We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard. ### Requirements We're looking for driven, founder-minded professionals who take pride in getting clients set up for long-term success. You likely have: - 2-4 years of experience in implementation, technical onboarding, or program management - for example, delivery roles at enterprise or vertical SaaS companies, technology consulting, or systems integration - A demonstrated track record for managing complex client workflows, such as new system implementations or similar projects - Strong technical intuition, demonstrated by a STEM background or equivalent experience scoping technical integrations - Proven ability to independently manage multiple client engagements end-to-end in a client-facing setting - Excellent communication and ability to build strong relationships and influence across internal and external stakeholders - Willingness to work in person at our NYC headquarters 4-5 days a week ### Why Join Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that’s scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you. ### Benefits In addition to the growth and impact you’ll have at EliseAI, we offer competitive salaries along with the following benefits: - Equity in the company - Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100% - Fully paid parental leave - Commuter benefits - 401k benefits - Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters - A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all meals covered in the office - Unlimited vacation and paid holidays - We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful! ### Job Compensation Range The salary range for this role is $140,000 - $180,000 USD. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation is determined based on a number of factors including experience, skill level, location and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process.
