- Build deployment templates, quality gates, onboarding processes, and playbooks from scratch.
- Continuously improve the deployment motion based on lessons learned from live implementations.
- Provide product feedback to the founding team based on direct observation of customer deployments.
- Identify risks to adoption, delivery, and customer retention and proactively address them.
- Travel within Brazil to key customer sites when required for critical milestones and customer engagement.
- Work closely with the Deployment Lead and broader product and leadership teams.
