What are the responsibilities and job description for the Deployment Strategist position at Augment?
About Us
B2B distribution is broken. Let's fix it.
We are a team of engineers, product designers, and customer champions applying the most transformative technology of our times, AI, to one of the largest industries in the world: B2B distribution and logistics. Our mission is to streamline B2B distributor and freight operations through automation, freeing teams to focus on high-value strategic work.
In our prior lives, we have built multi-billion-dollar companies with products that delighted thousands of merchants and powered billions of dollars in commerce.
We are looking for intelligent, driven people with insatiable curiosity and a desire to make an impact. If you’re excited to work with AI that can reason and take action, like humans, in one of the most complex industries in the world, apply below.
Overview
The Deployment Strategist will work directly with our largest distribution and logistics clients to deploy and optimize Augment's AI solutions. This is a strategic, client-facing role for someone who can translate complex operational problems into real outcomes. You will be embedded with customers, driving adoption and ensuring the technology actually works in practice.
What You’ll Do
At Augment, we set out to create a fully autonomous AI platform that streamlines operations and reclaims the human element in logistics. Our founders recognized a pattern: talented professionals were stuck handling manual data entry, phone calls, and repetitive tasks, instead of focusing on high-impact problem-solving and strategic decision-making.
That insight became our mission—to free logistics professionals from busywork so they can focus on what truly drives business growth. Augment isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about transforming an entire industry by empowering teams with AI-driven solutions that make logistics smarter, faster, and more adaptive.
