Client Deployment Lead, AI (EMEA)

About us

We are Valis - a company building an institutional AI operating layer for mid-market companies: shared company memory, workflow mining and agentic automation.

Role overview

As a Client Deployment Lead, AI, you own the deployment of our platform at client companies, turning a CEO's AI ambitions into measurable change in company efficiency.

You lead each engagement from discovery through go-live to company-wide adoption, working with the client's leadership team and a forward-deployed engineer. The role suits people who have run transformation programs, are comfortable with technology and want to work at startup speed.

What you'll do

- Lead discovery and map how the client company works: structure, processes, decisions, data

- Scope deployments, success metrics and timelines with the executive sponsor

- Run delivery with a forward-deployed engineer and get the client live fast

- Drive adoption across leadership, employees and core processes

- Help the CEO with AI transformation: what to automate, what to redesign, how the operating model changes, how to overcome resistance and friction and implement real change

- Identify new use cases that expand adoption and value

- Turn what works into playbooks that make each deployment faster than the last

- We expect a Client Deployment Lead to work hybrid, spending 30-50% of working time on-site with the Client.
