Mistral is seeking an AI Deployment Strategist to drive adoption and scaling of cutting-edge AI solutions across enterprise clients in high-stakes industries including finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector. This is a purely individual contributor role based in Abu Dhabi with significant travel (30-60% of time) to client sites.
You will operate at the intersection of innovation and business impact, partnering with Sales Executives to tailor Mistral's AI offerings to prospect needs. Your responsibilities span the full customer lifecycle: conducting pre-sales discovery calls to understand client challenges, leading qualification efforts, designing implementation projects and scoping required resources, guiding companies through GenAI integration, and ensuring seamless transitions from concept to production.
In the pre-sales phase, you'll conduct technical discovery, collaborate with account executives to identify high-value opportunities, influence evaluation criteria, and create strategic visions for customer projects. During implementation, you'll guide customers in deploying Mistral's models into their infrastructure, fine-tune models to specific requirements, assist with API integration, and relay feedback to product and technical teams. Post-deployment, you'll ensure customers maximize product potential, provide support, conduct periodic satisfaction reviews, and recommend optimizations based on feedback.
You'll work closely with product and science teams to deliver state-of-the-art solutions tailored to client needs, tackle complex business problems with AI, and contribute to the evolution of AI technology. The role requires balancing technical depth with business acumen—you'll need to connect technology capabilities to measurable business outcomes and strategic advantages.
Required qualifications include a degree in a relevant scientific field (Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, etc.), proven experience in customer-facing roles, strong project and stakeholder management skills, proficiency in Python or JavaScript for prototyping, foundational AI/ML/Data Science knowledge, and the ability to understand and develop code. You should be familiar with front-end interfaces and integration processes, possess sales qualification knowledge, and demonstrate resilience and result-driven mindset. Fluency in English is essential.
