Founding AI Deployment Strategist

About Forgepoint

Revitalize an industry. Rebuild America’s manufacturing backbone.

America’s $3 trillion manufacturing base is one of the most powerful forces in the world. It’s also one of the most overlooked when it comes to software.

Walk into any factory office in America and you’ll see it: estimators toggling between ten spreadsheets, procurement managers forwarding PDFs, and accountants retyping invoices by hand. The machines on the shop floor are state‑of‑the‑art, but the computers in the office are running on excel, email, and prayers.

Our co‑founder Jack saw it firsthand at Northrop Grumman, at Bain & Co, and at the dozens of aerospace manufacturers that he’s purchased from. Behind every great American product is a mountain of manual work that bottlenecks production and holds back growth.

This inefficiency doesn’t just slow the manufacturer down. It slows down our entire economy. It means fewer products get built and longer lead times for the ones that do. Worst of all: even customers who want to buy American often have no choice but to buy from overseas competitors who can move faster.

But now, for the first time, there’s a way to fix it.

At Forgepoint, we’re building AI workers that automate the manufacturing back office. Our AI workers handle critical but time‑consuming jobs like quoting, purchasing, invoicing, and sales coordination. Our AI workers eliminate the bottlenecks that have held manufacturers back for decades, turning processes that once took weeks into minutes.

This is about more than software. It’s about revitalizing the infrastructure that builds everything else. It’s about equipping US manufacturers with the best software in the world so they can focus on what they do best: making great products.

We’re backed by top‑tier investors like a16z speedrun, and angels from Brex, Xwing, and Betterment, and already have more customer demand than we can serve.

The market is vast, the mission is urgent, and the opportunity is generational.

Join us as we rebuild the digital foundation of American manufacturing — and create a billion‑dollar company in the process.

This is a client-facing deployment and strategy role that sits at the intersection of consulting, product, and operations. You will be the on‑site lead responsible for transforming our customers’ operations from manual processes to fully automated, AI-powered workflows.

You’ll work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with CEOs, COOs, and Plant Managers to map how their work gets done today, then you’ll design how our AI workers should behave inside those workflows, configure them, and launch them.
Ultimately, you will build and lead our Deployment organization.
