Deployment Strategist

Join to apply for the Deployment Strategist role at Encord Location London, England, United Kingdom About Us At Encord, we're building the AI infrastructure of the future. The biggest challenge AI companies face today is not nearly as glamorous as the outside world may think: it’s all about data quality. In fact, the success of any AI application today relies on the quality of a model’s training data. For 95% of teams, this essential step is both the most costly, and the most time‑consuming in getting their product to market. As ex‑computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we felt first‑hand how the lack of tools to prepare quality training data was impeding the progress of building AI. AI today is what the early days of computing or the internet were like, where the potential of the technology is clear, but the tools and processes surrounding it are still primitive, preventing the next generation of applications. This is why we started Encord. We are a team of 100+ working at the cutting edge of multimodal and visual AI. Encord is backed by top investors, including CRV, Y Combinator, and Next47, leading industry executives like Luc Vincent, former VP of AI at Meta, and other Bay Area AI leaders. We are one of the fastest growing companies in our space, and consistently rated as the best product in the market by our customers. The role We’re looking for an exceptional Deployment Strategist to join our post‑sales team in London. You’ll be excited to work with the leading AI teams, shape a critical function for Encord & our customers, and accelerate your career in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.

You will become a product expert, and work with internal teams (technical & commercial) to build a well‑oiled engine that consistently enables our customers to get up and running successfully, at scale, and grow with Encord. You will be working on a mix of strategic work (ideating and executing on success plans, overseeing activation, building the groundwork for expansion opportunities) and operational work (identifying & prospecting new champions across our customer base, running demos, guiding tech teams through best practices). You’ll be joining Encord at an inflection point — over the last 18 months, we’ve built a world‑class team, raised our $30M Series B (from Next47, YC, Crane) and onboarded hundreds of the leading AI companies onto Encord. We work with many of the teams we all read about in the news - and take this ownership as both a big responsibility and an exciting opportunity to help develop leading AI products.
