Deployment Strategist

About the role

ABOUT AIUC AIUC builds standards and insurance for frontier AI. Our mission is to Underwrite superintelligence https://underwriting-superintelligence.com/. We exist because risk, not capability, is becoming the binding constraint on AI being useful. History offers lessons for how to build confidence in new technology; electricity burned down houses until insurers funded Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to certify products against their standards. Today, the UL mark is a trustmark on every light bulb in America. We’re building that for AI. AIUC-1, our standard for agent security, serves frontier builders like Cursor, Lovable, ElevenLabs, and Harvey. We've raised $55m from Ribbit, First Harmonic and Nat Friedman to audit frontier AI. Our team comes from METR, Anthropic, McKinsey, and OpenAI. Come join us. THE ROLE Our customers are the world’s leading AI companies, including ElevenLabs, Harvey, Cursor, and many others not yet announced. As demand for AIUC-1 continues to grow, so does the need for a Delivery function that can scale alongside it. As a member of the Delivery team, you will be the primary partner to customers from contract signature through certification – guiding them from kickoff to a completed AIUC-1 certification report that enables enterprises to confidently deploy their AI agents. You'll lead complex, multi-stakeholder engagements spanning evidence collection, technical evaluation, audit coordination, and certificate issuance. Along the way, you'll work closely with customer security and legal teams, external auditors, and AIUC's GTM and product teams to ensure successful outcomes under ambitious timelines. Beyond delivery, you'll help define how AIUC scales. Every customer engagement surfaces new patterns, challenges, and opportunities to improve our certification process and product. As one of the earliest members of the team, you'll play a key role in building the systems, playbooks, and standards that power AIUC's next stage of growth. In this role, you will: - Own the end-to-end AIUC-1 certification process, from scoping and kickoff through certificate issuance - Lead complex customer engagements across security, legal, engineering, executive stakeholders, and external auditors - Orchestrate projects under ambitious timelines while maintaining exceptional quality and customer experience - Drive productization of the AIUC-1 certification experience by turning repeatable customer patterns into scalable workflows, tooling, and product improvements - Partner closely with Product and GTM teams to translate customer insights into improvements to AIUC-1 and future product development WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 4-7 years of experience leading complex, client-facing engagements in consulting, audit, enterprise delivery, or similar environments - Executive presence and strong communication skills, with the ability to build credibility with senior customer stakeholders - High attention to detail and sound judgment, particularly when evaluating evidence and making nuanced decisions - Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building processes where no established playbook exists - Exceptional project management skills with the ability to manage multiple enterprise customers simultaneously - A collaborative operator who enjoys working across customers, product, GTM, and external partners NICE TO HAVE - Experience at a top consulting firm, audit firm, or forward deployed/customer deployment organization - Experience working with AI, security, compliance, or enterprise software - A product mindset with an interest in improving systems and building scalable processes OUR VALUES We are in the business of building trust. We take our values seriously and treat them as commitments to each other, held to the same bar as the ones we make to customers. • Strong back: high standards, keep our promises, work hard. • Fast feet: experiment, cut scope, take delight in pace. • Eyes up: wrestle with the mission, and let where AI is heading shape our strategy, our teams and our day-to-day work. • Open heart: say the scary thing, create connection, make room for emotions. Underwriting superintelligence is our life's work. If you want it to be yours, apply now.
