Role overview
AI6-20 employees
We’re building the AI workforce for American manufacturing. These are businesses that make the physical things our economy runs on — and they’re stuck on systems from the ‘90s with no one building for them. We are. We’re in NYC, backed by a16z, and are on track to cross 7 figures in revenue after launching 7 months ago. We just closed $9.5m in funding to accelerate this even more. Our team is 6 people, every one of us is a builder, and we’re just getting started.
What you will do
- Lead on-site discovery sessions with manufacturing executives to map existing workflows and translate business rules into actionable AI agent tasks.
- Manage the end-to-end deployment lifecycle, coordinating with agent engineers to configure, pilot, and launch AI workers that handle procurement and sales.
- Define and track measurable ROI metrics for each customer, identifying upsell opportunities and building reusable playbooks to scale the deployment process.
Who this is a fit for
- 3–7+ years of experience in management consulting (MBB or similar) or high-stakes software implementation with a track record of executive-level delivery.
- Exceptional project management skills with the ability to navigate complex ERP/CRM environments and maintain calm under pressure during concurrent deployments.
- Willingness to work onsite in New York City 5 days a week and travel frequently to customer sites across the US.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join a mission-driven team backed by a16z Speedrun and elite angels from Brex and Betterment to rebuild the backbone of American industry.
- Work directly with high-pedigree founders including an ex-Bain/Xwing GTM lead and a founding engineer from Brex.
- Balance strategic consulting with high-impact operations, moving fluidly between NYC boardrooms and manufacturing shop floors across the United States.
