About the Role

At Watney, Deployment Strategists turn cutting-edge robotics into operational value for the largest companies in the world. You’ll work directly with executives at hyperscalers and Fortune 500 enterprises to design and execute their automation roadmap, helping customers deploy and scale general-purpose robots in live production environments.

You’ll work cross-functionally with engineering and research teams to translate real-world operational challenges into new robotic capabilities, shaping both product direction and robot behavior in the field.

We’re looking for someone with exceptional critical thinking, strong interpersonal skills, and outstanding technical intuition. You should be equally comfortable discussing nuanced customer feedback with our engineers, managing robots in the field, and presenting deployment strategies and product roadmaps to senior executives.

What You’ll Do

  • Run deployments end-to-end: define work scope, manage deployment environment and drive robot performance.
  • Be the key bridge: go onsite and meet with customers to locate their biggest problems and understand the critical questions they need to answer. Align C-suite executives at the biggest companies on Earth.
  • Collaborate with engineers: build deployment-specific products with engineers to meet customer needs.

You May Be a Good Fit If You

  • Are an excellent customer-first operator (2-5 yrs) with experience leading deployments or integration of critical technology for large customers.
  • Have strong stakeholder management skills and can build trust with both technical and non-technical partners.
  • Are comfortable navigating competing priorities and have strong intuition for strategic and product decisions.
  • Have hardware, manufacturing or data center experience.
  • Have evidence of exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
