About the role

First Deployment Strategist at Column responsible for end-to-end deployments of Column’s technology and operating model, acting as the GM of each deployment, with significant travel to partner sites.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end deployments of Column’s technology and operating model, from initial assessment through rollout and continuous improvement
  • Find the biggest bottlenecks to scale, then design and ship the products and workflows that remove them
  • Drive decisions around “build vs. buy” strategies for new tooling and systems we need to drive automation and scale
  • Embed on-site with operators to understand workflows firsthand and turn what you learn into product and operational decisions
  • Own execution end to end, driving timelines, alignment and accountability on execution across the team

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in product, business operations, or a forward-deployed or solutions role at a high-growth technology company
  • You know what great software and great user experiences look like
  • A track record of owning complex, high-stakes deployments or programs end to end
  • Executive presence, and the ability to align stakeholders with different priorities around a shared goal
  • A hyper-organized approach to execution. You’re comfortable running several workstreams across teams at once
  • Excitement about spending ~50% of your time on the road, embedded with the teams and operations you’re deploying into
  • A scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude. We thrive because we work harder, are more creative, and have zero ego when it comes to getting our hands dirty to build a business
  • Familiarity with banking or fintech is preferred but not required. An interest in becoming an expert in this space is a must
