All 324 plan what the customer deploys first.
See what FDE postings that plan what the customer deploys first pay, and what that kind of work covers.
These postings decide what a customer rolls out first and how they adopt it: discovery, architecture, migration planning, proof of concept, and coordination across customer and product teams. Employers often call the job Deployment Strategist. Day-to-day implementation is not the main responsibility.
