Enterprise productivity across Europe is under pressure. As complexity increases through geopolitical shifts, labour constraints, and tighter operational interdependencies, many organisations observe that AI and optimization efforts improve local efficiency but fail to deliver structural, enterprise-level gains.
At Superlinear, we work on this gap through enterprise orchestration: enabling better system-level decision-making across people, processes, and machines in environments where siloed optimization no longer works.
In our earliest pilots with leading European enterprises, we observe that moving from local optimization to coordinated, enterprise-wide decisions can unlock significant latent capacity. Productivity gains in the range of 10–30% are achievable by reducing systemic friction rather than adding infrastructure.
The 500 largest European enterprises represent roughly €14 trillion in economic output. Enabling even a fraction of them to structurally improve productivity would have impact beyond individual companies.
This is a long-term effort that requires rigor, restraint, and people who care deeply about their craft, take responsibility for outcomes, and are comfortable working on complex, high-stakes systems. This role offers the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the foundations of enterprise orchestration in Europe’s most critical organisations.
That's why we are hiring a Deployment Strategist.
As a Deployment Strategist, you sit at the intersection of strategic problem framing and operational execution. You work closely with client stakeholders, Forward Deployed Engineers, and Product teams to ensure that deployments are grounded in operational reality, coherently designed, and deliver measurable impact.
You take ownership of defined parts of a deployment, from understanding the problem to making sure the solution lands. You operate with a high degree of autonomy, while being supported and challenged by your peers.
You'll also contribute to early client conversations, bringing structured thinking and genuine industry knowledge to shape how complex operational challenges translate into concrete deployment approaches. This is especially relevant in industrial environments such as manufacturing, supply chain, ports and airports or defense where domain credibility matters as much as analytical rigour.
This role is designed for someone with serious consulting experience in large complex contexts who wants to get closer to execution and grow into leading full deployment missions over time.
What you'll do
Understand the client context
Build a solid, ground-level understanding of how the client actually operates
Capture and structure strategic goals, KPIs, and success criteria
Map current processes clearly and objectively
Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and where real improvement is possible
Define value and scope
Work with clients to define what success looks like and how to measure it
Translate strategic goals into clear, realistic KPIs
Contribute to shaping mission scope: what matters, what doesn't, what's doable
Support early problem framing and value articulation in client discussions
Functional design and collaboration
Translate business analysis into functional designs and user stories
Work closely with Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure feasibility
Keep solutions simple, coherent, and focused on impact, push back on overengineering
Validation, adoption and learning
Validate continuously that solutions meet the original business need
Support user testing, gather structured feedback, and turn it into improvements
Help solutions land in the organisation, adoption is part of the job
Capture lessons learned and contribute to the Superlinear Playbook
Ownership and growth
Own defined workstreams and drive them forward end-to-end
Build genuine expertise in specific industrial contexts over time
Grow towards leading larger parts of missions, and eventually full deployment ownership
