  • Own the deployment lifecycle for AI Agents — from scoping and kickoff to launch and post-go-live optimization
  • Design, build, test and iterate on AI agents in partnership with FDEs using Cresta’s internal tools and the latest technologies to deliver the highest customer ROI
  • Serve as the AI Agent SME for the EMEA Sales cycle, partnering on demos, solutioning, and deal reviews to ensure technical feasibility, value articulation, and successful handoff to deployment.
  • Lead customer relationships and act as the primary point of contact for AI Agent. Help customers move faster to ensure we can deliver quickly and effectively.

Requirements

  • Experience leading complex deployments, owning customer relationships (including senior customer stakeholders), and working cross-functionally
