Founding Deployment Strategist

Role Summary

About Dataleap

We raised $3M from YC and angels like Aravind (CEO Perplexity) and Rahul Vohra (Superhuman) to build the agentic operating system for the enterprise. We have thousands of agents deployed across scale-up startups and Fortune 500 companies. We have PMF and are doubling revenue every month. And we have far more enterprise inbound than we can handle.

This role is what I used to do, and I need someone to do it better than I did.

You will lead the rollout of Dataleap across the European market, based in Munich, and will work directly with me — the CEO and founder.

From day 1, you are not an account manager or a vendor, but a trusted partner who helps our customers AI-transform their entire org. Each customer is like a mini consulting project where it's your job to diagnose where AI creates the most leverage, identify the highest-value use cases, train the org, build the agents alongside them, and turn the company into an AI-native operator. You own the outcome.

As we scale, you help build the team underneath you by hiring, owning, and shaping Dataleap in Europe. Basically a founder in a founder-led company.

This role is a front row seat for AI - you learn how to deploy AI in big corporations and play at the forefront of development. You can sit with a CTO and credibly debate model selection, eval strategy, data residency, and integration architecture, because you've shipped it yourself.

Responsibilities

• Find the use cases that matter. Build the first agents yourself to prove the value, then scale adoption org-wide.
• Host agent hackathons, discuss rollout strategy with the C-Suite, and help them make their companies AI-native.
• Navigate complex political landscapes inside huge organizations. Find the champions. Disarm the blockers. Build relationships at every level, from end users to the CEO.
• Be the voice of the customer to engineering and product. Push hard for what they need. Push back when they're wrong.
• Build agents and workflows in Dataleap to automate your own role. We expect you to systematically eliminate manual work from your job, not use AI as a productivity buff.
• Lead the European rollout from Munich. Build the team underneath you as we scale.
• Find the thousand things I haven't listed here, and just do them.

You're a fit if

• You're an AI power user. Not "exploring AI" — you live in it. You're shipping agents on weekends and have opinions on model routing, eval design, and where current systems break.
• You're high agency and high clock speed: you drive the agenda, prioritize ruthlessly, and communicate sharp and to the point.
• You're low ego, high ownership. There's unsexy work and you'll do it without flinching. You want to work hard and be deeply obsessed.
• You're commercially sharp — renewals, expansion, and multi-stakeholder navigation are second nature.
• You're comfortable being the youngest in a room of executives and still the one in charge.
• You speak German at a native level and are based in Munich (or ready to move here).

I'll index heavily on energy, values, and slope.

What you get

• Direct exposure to the best people at YC, Founders Inc, and CDTM.
• Frequent trips to San Francisco, catapulting you to the absolute forefront of agentic AI.
• The best mentors and coaches for whatever problem you're working on.
• Unlimited AI budget to automate your own work.
• Generous equity and comp that reflects the impact I expect this role to have.
• The path to build and lead a team as we scale across Europe.
• I will personally make sure this is the fastest growth opportunity of your career.
• If you ever want to start your own company, I'll back you.
