About The Position

The AI Strategist owns business outcomes for FlowGen Labs’ most important enterprise deployments. Working closely with a Forward Deployed Engineer, the role embeds with customer finance, operations, and technology teams to understand how work is performed across complex SAP environments. The strategist identifies workflows where autonomous agents can create value, defines success measures, aligns stakeholders, and leads engagements from discovery through production adoption and expansion. This is a hands-on, forward-deployed role that involves building trust with executives and frontline users, creating structure from ambiguity, translating operational complexity into executable deployment plans, and remaining accountable until the system delivers measurable business impact. The role also identifies opportunities to extend automation to adjacent workflows and shape FlowGen’s product, deployment methodology, and customer strategy.

Requirements

Exceptional problem-solving ability, including the ability to enter unfamiliar environments, ask incisive questions, identify constraints, and turn ambiguity into a concrete plan.
Strong business judgment and ability to distinguish interesting AI use cases from workflows likely to create material operational value.
Ability to move between executive strategy and operational detail.
Excellent written and verbal communication, with credibility to challenge assumptions and align business and technical stakeholders.
Strong analytical instincts and comfort working with messy enterprise data.
Practical fluency with AI systems and agentic workflows, including understanding where probabilistic systems create leverage, where deterministic controls are needed, and where human oversight remains essential.
Willingness to travel regularly for customer engagements as required.
Ability to work in person in the San Francisco Bay Area.
