We are the AI partner for the physical world serving factories, warehouses, job sites, and the enterprises that run them. We are building the last mile for AI, deploying into organizations, earning C-level buy-in, and becoming their exclusive partner for business transformation. Our software combines LLMs, voice AI, and vision models to make physical operations intelligent. We are helping companies make better decisions, automate manual processes, and drive real revenue. While labs build the models of the future, we build the last-mile delivery for them. We must model complex environments, deliver reliable results, and bridge the gap between models and the antiquated ecosystems in which they must operate. Our Principles: - We are bold, especially when the world tells us what we’re doing is impossible. - We are truth-seeking, choosing clarity over comfort. - We will win. And we work really hard to win. ## The Role | Deployment Strategist This is a client-facing role where you’ll run complex agreements, earn trust in the boardroom, and turn a beachhead into a long-term partnership. You’ll own the client relationship from kickoff through expansion by running executive steercos, aligning internal and external stakeholders, and making sure we deliver outcomes that justify deeper investments. To do this, you’ll be working closely with Forward Deployed Architects and their engineering teams who will write the code and help deliver what you prioritize. What We Require: - 4+ years of experience in management consulting (i.e., McKinsey, Bain, BCG), enterprise technology, or a high-growth B2B environment with an MBA. - Proven track record running executive-level relationships and growing accounts. - Comfortable owning a room – steercos, QBRs, board updates – and driving decisions. - Ability to build a credible ROI case from scratch and understand what drives that forward. - Technical fluency to hold a real conversation about AI, data, and software. - Ability to travel. ## About endeavorai.com ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Endeavor AI provides an AI agent platform that automates back-office workflows for manufacturing and distribution companies, including quoting, order entry, accounts payable, and phone call automation. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – $7M seed round, October 2024) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Sami Senapathy (CEO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Manufacturing, Distribution, Supply Chain, Enterprise AI - **Target customers**: B2B – suppliers, distributors, and large enterprises in industrial and manufacturing sectors - **Mission or purpose statement**: “Bring AI to the back office” – automate manual processes with intelligent agents that learn from existing workflows and integrate with ERP, CRM, and email. ## Products & Services - **Phone Call Automation**: AI agent that handles inbound customer calls, answers questions, and processes requests directly into the ERP system. - **Accounts Receivable**: Automates cash collection, payment reminders, and reconciliation. - **Accounts Payable**: Automates 3-way matching, invoice processing, and approval workflows. - **Order Entry AI**: Automates order entry and changes from emails, PDFs, portals, and spreadsheets, with 90%+ accuracy. - **Platform**: Connects to ERP, CRM, and core systems; provides analytics and insights from operational data (invoices, POs, quotes). ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$7 million** (Seed round led by Craft Ventures, October 2024) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Craft Ventures (David Sacks), Jack Altman (Benchmark, ex-Lattice), Joe Montana (4x Super Bowl champion), and advisors from Palantir, Snowflake, ServiceTitan, and Bridgestone. - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount growth of +146.7% year-over-year (LinkedIn, approximately 35 employees) - Trusted by customers doing over $100B in annual sales - Claims 5x ROI and 90% reduction in manual tasks - Implementation in under 5 days ## Competitive Advantages - **Deep integration**: AI agents read and write directly into existing ERP, CRM, and email systems without replacing legacy software. - **Learning capability**: Platform learns from historical records and sample tasks, reducing human corrections by 95%+. - **Domain focus**: Specialized in manufacturing and distribution (not generic automation), with a team built by engineers from Palantir, NASA, MIT, and UC Berkeley. - **Speed of deployment**: “5 days to implement” – unusually fast for enterprise AI. ## Strategic Focus - Expand AI agent capabilities across the entire back office (sales, finance, supply chain) - Continue deepening integrations with major ERP and CRM platforms - Scale go-to-market in the US industrial heartland (Silicon Valley AI applied to traditional industries) ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Hybrid workspace (combination of remote and on-site) headquartered in San Francisco.
