Founding AI Deployment Strategist (Denmark or Switzerland)

Hybrid · Switzerland or Denmark, with in-person time in Geneva or Copenhagen · Full-time

We are a Stealth Applied AI Venture and a Bifrost Studios company. We're building the long-term applied AI partner for mid-market and enterprise leaders, practitioner-led, working inside their business on real outcomes rather than platitudes.

The relationship starts with a three-day in-person Accelerator and continues as a year-round partnership: ongoing 1:1 deployment work, access to an Applied AI Leaders community, and a strategist who stays close to the leader's P&L as they ship. We are practitioner-first and operator-led, surrounded by operators and AI-native companies.

Built with passion and grit across Europe, home in Switzerland, ready to take on the world. You'll report directly to the Founder & CEO. Our first cohorts run end of August and early September 2026.

## Tasks

We're hiring our founding AI Deployment Strategist. You own each leader's deployment and outcomes end to end, from the first Accelerator through the long-term partnership that follows, and you are the first capability we replicate as the venture scales. You sit between a leader's P&L and applied AI, and you turn that work into shipped initiatives.

**What you'll do**

• Partner 1:1 with senior leaders to frame their P&L context and objectives, then turn the Accelerator into a 90-day plan they own and ship, then stay their partner as the work continues.
• Work directly on each leader's real business: map use cases across sales, product, marketing, and operations, make build-versus-buy calls, and sequence their AI investments.
• Build and run the AI tooling and agent setups that support each leader before, during, and after the three days.
• Author the deployment playbook so the model holds its quality as new strategists join.
• Bring patterns from member work back into the product and our proprietary insight.

**What your first year looks like**

• _First 30 days:_ absorb the product and ICP, run your first 1:1 context sessions with confirmed members, draft v1 of the deployment playbook.
• _First quarter:_ own the pre, on-site, and post journey for the first cohort; deliver each leader a 90-day plan and convert it into shipped initiatives.
• _By year one:_ a repeatable deployment model a second strategist can run, documented P&L outcomes from members, and the foundations of embedded, forward-deployed AI partnerships with member organisations.

## Requirements

• A minimum of four years in progressive, high-impact roles, with at least two of those focused on applied AI.
• You're at the bleeding edge of applied AI in a deployment context: you put modern models, tools, and agents to work inside a business to drive outcomes, not in an engineering or research lab.
• Real outcomes you can point to from deploying AI inside an operating business: shipped results, not slideware.
• A track record of owning measurable business results, outcomes you've been accountable for, ideally ones that show up in the P&L.
• Hands-on, daily fluency with modern AI tools and agents.
• The executive presence to work shoulder-to-shoulder with C-suite and P&L owners.
• Sharp, structured thinking that turns ambiguity into a plan and a plan into delivery.
• A degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience. An MBA or comparable experience at the intersection of business, technology, and operations is a strong plus.

This is for you if you've deployed AI in a real business and have the scars to show for it, you'd rather ship than frame, and you're comfortable building zero-to-one with little scaffolding.

## Benefits

**What's on offer**

• A founding seat with full ownership of how leaders move from AI literacy to AI fluency to shipped AI outcomes.
• Meaningful founding equity and salary.
• The full backing of Bifrost Studios across operations, sourcing, and an operator network. You build with support, not alone.
• Work that compounds, from a single Accelerator into a long-term partnership with the leaders you serve.

• Apply with CV and short motivation letter
• Screening interview
• In depth interview
• Psychometrics and case assessment
