Pallet is building AI Agents to transform the physical economy, a $12 trillion global industry. The company has raised $50M from top investors including General Catalyst, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Bain Capital Ventures, and achieved 700% revenue growth in under two years. As an Associate Deployment Strategist, you will own customer deployments from discovery and workflow design through execution, launch, and ongoing success.

This role sits at the center of customer deployment, product feedback, and operational execution. You won't inherit a fully built playbook; you'll help create it as Pallet scales implementation across a growing customer base. Success means customers have clearly defined, executable workflows aligned to their business reality; deployments stay on track despite ambiguity or complexity; executives feel informed and trust Pallet as a long-term partner; internal teams are aligned and coordinated around customer outcomes; and deployment processes become more repeatable and scalable. REQUIREMENTS: - 1+ years of experience in a customer-facing, operations, implementation, consulting, product, support, or technical project role - Strong organization and follow-through across multiple workstreams - Clear written and verbal communication skills - Comfort working with customers and asking thoughtful questions - Ability to break down complex workflows into clear steps, requirements, and decisions - Interest in AI, automation, logistics, and operational systems - Strong analytical skills and attention to detail - Comfort working in spreadsheets and presentation tools - Basic technical acumen, including familiarity with APIs, JSON, SQL, or system workflows - Ability to operate in a fast-moving environment and create structure from ambiguity NICE TO HAVE: - Experience at a SaaS, logistics, supply chain, marketplace, or workflow automation company - Experience working with AI-driven or automation products - Technical degree or technical coursework in CS, Engineering, Math, Data, or related fields - Prior experience in implementation, customer success, solutions, or operations
