Deployment Strategist
Simile · New York City · $150,000–$300,000 (stated in the posting)
About the Company
Pilots don't train with real passengers. Actors don't rehearse with real audiences. Yet, the most consequential decisions in society are often pushed straight to production.
Simile is changing that. We have built the first AI simulation of society, populated by generative agents based on real humans. Our research pioneered the field of AI-based simulation, proving it is possible to model human behavior with high accuracy. Today, we are developing a Foundation Model to predict human behavior in any situation, at any scale.
We have raised $300M in total funding, with a $2B post-money valuation in our latest round. Our investors include Greenoaks, Index Ventures, Hanabi, A*, Bain Capital Ventures, Factory, CVS Health Ventures, and Definition.
About the Role
Deployment Strategist at Simile means being embedded within enterprise account teams. You'll be deeply involved in 2-3 customer relationships - running deployment work, handling day-to-day customer needs, and getting fluent enough in Simile's platform to be genuinely useful in technical conversations.
The people who do well here are energized by customers and their experience in the product: building relationships, digging into hard problems, and staying on top of the details. You'll move fast, have real ownership early, and work closely with product and research on problems that matter to Fortune 500 organizations across industries.
Ideally, you'd have:
Experience from one of three areas:
Operators coming from companies that deploy enterprise AI or data products
Strategy consultants or investors who want to move into tech to own outcomes
PMs or engineers who got pulled into the business and customer side and never looked back
In this role, you will:
Own your Customers: Be the person your customers rely on - responsive, on top of the details, and trusted to get things done
Drive Deployments: Own enterprise customer engagements from first call to full deployment and beyond
Know the Product: Go deep on Simile's platform - simulations, population modeling, evals, and validations - and bring that knowledge into every customer conversation
Work Cross-functionally: Bridge the gap between what customers need and what product and modeling teams build, and make sure the right insights from the field shape internal decisions
Shape the Business: Take on high-impact projects that span the full business - from how we land new customers to how we think about simulation quality and what we build next

Product Fluency: Able to get up to speed on technical concepts quickly and explain them clearly; no coding required, but comfortable engaging with AI concepts like evals, validation, and model behavior
