Transformworks • New York City, NY

8h • Hybrid

About The Position

Transformworks is an AI implementation partner serving investors and operators in operationally complex industries, including healthcare, education, and financial services. The AI Deployment Strategist is accountable for client engagement success, serving as the primary day-to-day partner to client executives and operators while leading Forward Deployed AI Engineers through discovery, development, deployment, and adoption. The role determines what to build, keeps execution moving, and ensures the work produces measurable business outcomes.

This is a technical and product-oriented engagement leadership role combining structured problem-solving, product judgment, program leadership, and client relationship management. Production coding is not expected, but practical technical fluency is needed to work closely with engineers, understand tradeoffs, and shape effective AI products. The strategist is expected to make clients successful, exceed expectations, and identify additional opportunities for AI to create value across their businesses.

The role works directly with Transformworks’ founders and helps shape how the firm serves clients. With demonstrated impact, the strategist may take ownership of larger client relationships, lead multiple engagement teams, expand strategic accounts, and build the systems and team behind the deployment function. Advancement is based on impact rather than tenure. The role is based in New York City and uses a hybrid collaboration model.
