ABOUT THE ROLEAs a Deployment Lead, you will manage client relationships at Aaru from initial contact through long-term collaboration. The Deployment team partners with clients to configure tailored analyses and deliver simulation-driven insights directly to senior client stakeholders. You will work closely with Aaru's founders to serve a wide variety of clients, addressing an even broader range of challenges using the most exciting predictive technology since the astrolabe.
RESPONSIBILITIES- Own client relationships end-to-end, from discovery and scoping through deployment and long-term collaboration
- Represent Aaru in senior client settings - CEOs, CMOs, and C-suite equivalents - with the presence and polish to make every interaction land
- Execute complex, high-quality deliverables independently and at speed, translating rough direction into client-ready outputs
- Coordinate across engineering, product, and commercial teams to keep deployments on track and clients well-served
- Identify and scope new engagement opportunities across industries
YOU MAY BE A FIT IF- You have 2+ years at a top consulting firm, investment bank, or in a strategic operations role at a high-growth startup - and you've owned workstreams or client relationships, not just supported them
- You're self-directed in ambiguity - you can shape an unclear ask into a crisp workstream, flag issues early, and deliver without hand-holding
- You have strong analytical skills and can work fluently with complex data and communicate findings clearly in writing and in person
- You're excited to work fully in-person in NYC and bring genuine curiosity about AI and global affairs
STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO- Speak multiple languages
- Have proficiency in Python or familiarity with AI tools and complex software
- Have a background in technology or engineering
- Have experience implementing and executing projects across long timescales
- Have a background in traditional market research and consumer insights (e.g., survey design, focus groups, quantitative/qualitative analysis, syndicated data sources) with a strong foundation in translating research findings into actionable business recommendations
