What is a deployment strategist?
A deployment strategist owns the customer problem on a forward deployed team. Where a forward deployed engineer writes the code, the deployment strategist scopes what the customer needs, runs the rollout, manages stakeholders and proves the value, usually with enough technical depth to analyse data and prototype on their own.
The title comes from Palantir, where deployment strategists worked alongside forward deployed engineers at customer sites. AI companies now use the same structure to get their products adopted inside large organisations.
