Job description
An Agent Strategist owns how Sierra's AI agents come to life for customers, from first pilot to production agents handling thousands of conversations a day.

What you'll do
- Own the Agent Development Life Cycle: take agents from initial scope through conversation design, tooling, and evaluation, to launch and continuous iteration in production
- Translate business goals into an agent that outperforms, and tune relentlessly until it's the best version of itself in the real world
- Be the trusted strategic advisor to enterprise leaders: sit with customers' executives, understand what success means to their business, and shape the AI strategy
- Partner with the customer's working teams day to day: run working sessions, troubleshoot the agent as issues come up, and make the calls that keep the build on track for launch
- Directly impact product: surface unmet needs from customer work and feed them back to research and platform
What we're looking for
- Customer obsession: genuine energy being in front of customers, understanding their business and needs, thriving in complex organizations, and building trusted relationships
- Communication: clear, direct, and persuasive across technical and non-technical audiences
- Strategic problem-solving in ambiguity: strong analytical and critical-thinking skills to break down complex problems, spot risks early, and adapt as things change fast
- Technical aptitude: comfortable engaging directly with technical concepts - reading API documentation, understanding data models and system architecture, and following engineering tradeoffs in a design discussion
- Ownership and delivery: a track record of running multiple complex, high-visibility projects at once and driving them to outcomes
Nice to have
- Experience building or deploying AI/LLM agents in production - hands-on with the tools behind them (eval frameworks, agent tooling, RAG, prompt engineering) - working closely with technical counterparts
- You've been a founder, founding team member, or operator - you know how to balance craft, ownership, and speed
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience - and/or an MBA or comparable experience at the intersection of technology and business
