About the Role
Comand AI is seeking a Deployment Strategist to lead the implementation of their next-generation software for European defense. This role involves navigating sensitive organizations, delivering production-ready solutions, and collaborating with operators to maximize software value. The position requires understanding workflows, managing deployments, and providing operational support.
Responsibilities
- Identify and secure design partners: a unit and a champion who will give candid feedback and help validate a real operational workflow
- Decompose that workflow into something that drives real user value, building on the current stage of our product
- Work in close collaboration with a Business Strategist to design the right project path to delivery
- Own the deployment end-to-end: onboarding, operational support, feedback capture and synthesis, and iteration planning with product and engineering
- Translate field signal for the product team: turn qualitative feedback into clear next steps, reduce noise, increase signal
- Collaborate with a Europe-wide team to unlock large opportunities with forces, partners or organizations
Requirements
- Senior-level experience leading ambiguous, high-stakes deployments or field rollouts abroad, where adoption mattered more than the demo
- Ability to build deep trust with external stakeholders quickly
- Ability to translate messy, real-world feedback into clear product signal
- Comfortable pushing back, resolving conflict, and driving alignment without formal authority
- Strong operational judgment and discipline with sensitive information
- EU citizenship (contractual requirement tied to our defense contracts)
- Willingness to deploy into active theatres, including Ukraine, and to operate under real operational security constraints
- Experience in defense, public sector, crisis response, or another high-trust operational context (nice to have)
- Experience working cross-culturally, with constrained communications or logistics (nice to have)
