About the role

Strategy & Operations Lead for Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) partnering with FDE leadership to plan headcount, capacity, engagement mix, pricing, and reporting; owns business reviews, metrics, and cross-functional collaboration to scale FDE and move work to delivery partners using Claude.

Responsibilities

  • Own the plan. Build FDE's annual and quarterly plan: headcount and hiring by region and role, capacity, utilization, and the mix of commercial, research and mission-driven engagements.
  • Model demand and capacity. Build the demand, capacity and staffing models behind the plan, with scenarios leadership can use for hiring and prioritization decisions.
  • Run the business reviews. Lead FDE's monthly and quarterly reviews. Set KPIs with FDE leadership, own the scorecard, and write the materials for GTM and company leadership.
  • Build the reporting. Work with Revenue Operations and Data Science to get engagement, staffing and outcome data into our systems so reporting runs without manual work. Measure what engagements lead to: production launches, consumption, expansion, and patterns partners reuse.
  • Shape the commercial model. Partner with Finance, Deal Desk and Legal on how FDE engagements are priced, packaged, discounted and contracted, and track the economics of the portfolio.
  • Scale through partners. Build the plan and the economics for moving more work to delivery partners: which engagements partners own, co-deliver or get Anthropic advice on, what capacity they need, and how we measure their quality and cost.
  • Design the org. Work with FDE leadership and People on new roles, manager spans and where new headcount lands as the team grows.
  • Lead cross-functional projects. Take on questions that span Sales, Applied AI, Customer Success, Product and Research, from defining the problem through to a decision and a working process.
  • Automate with Claude. Use Claude Code and agents to build and run the models, dashboards and workflows this role depends on.
