## About the Role

This isn't a role where you sit back and follow a process. You'll be in the trenches, under pressure, solving problems most people wouldn't touch. You sit between our customers, product and engineering, and what you bring back shapes where Dryft goes next., * Fast-paced experience - 6+ years in a top-tier role (e.g., consulting), as an ex-founder, or as an early employee in a high-growth startup

 * Technically fluent & AI-native - you're comfortable with data, APIs and integrations, and you enjoy experimenting with new AI tools (experience with Claude Code is a plus)
 * Industrial at heart - you've worked with manufacturing, procurement, supply chain or another industrial domain, and you find these companies fascinating
 * Founder DNA - you have high agency, drive and a serious work ethic; you thrive in ambiguity and anticipate next priorities instead of waiting for direction
 * Product-minded - you listen to rants about ERP, nod wisely, and somehow turn them into product features that feel like magic
 * Competitive by nature - you have a track record of winning at something hard, and you're not done winning
 * Confident communicator - you can calm an impatient exec, win over a skeptical IT leader, and still crack a joke in the middle of it
 * Down-to-earth & relatable - you bond with shop-floor operators as easily as with boardroom execs, and you'll put on the safety shoes without being asked
 * Language - you're a native German speaker and fluent in English
 * Relocation - you're ready to work onsite in Munich, with 30 to 50% travel

## Description

This is the most entrepreneurial and founder-like role we have at Dryft. As a Deployment Lead, you'll face questions you've never heard before, processes you've never seen, and customers who expected answers yesterday. One day you're with C-level executives, the next with shop-floor users trying AI for the first time, and in between you're building prototypes. Your goal is to find the solution that creates the most value, get it running, and make Dryft indispensable.

 * Lead deployments end-to-end - carry our customers from the first executive workshop to production use across their plants, with C-level execs, operators and IT
 * Shape the product - work daily with users, turn messy workflows into features, and collaborate closely with engineering to push the roadmap forward
 * Build for scale - turn deployments into repeatable playbooks and product features, build and lead the deployment team, and grow into roles like CPO or COO
