Founding Deployment Strategist [ERP + AI]

Job description

TL;DR We're building the SAP/NetSuite of the AI era for mid-sized companies in the real-world economy, starting with their supply chain operations (buy, sell, stock, produce) Founding deployment strategist : you deploy two things into real factories, in the same project, the ERP that runs their operations, and the AI agents that work inside it. Every client goes from signed contract to go-live on the date we promised, running on Piston, with agents already doing part of the work A rare shape: someone who has led client projects that landed in industrial companies, who is genuinely AI-native, and who will write the deployment playbook for the team and our system integrator partners €3M Pre-seed (Top-tier VCs) €45–60k + equity What this role is (and isn't) Most ERP deployments are people moving data around for a year. Incumbents quote six figures for it, and the client gets the same software they had, just newer. Ours run in eight to twelve weeks and deliver two things at once: a new ERP that runs buying, selling, stock and production, and AI agents inside it that read the orders, recompute the production load, prepare the purchases, and ask a human only when it matters.

Why now Since day one, the founders have run every deployment themselves. Clients are now coming in faster than we can handle, and we need someone to own deployments. You work directly with Eric, CEO, who also leads product. That puts you as close as it gets to what success means at Piston: the success of our clients. What you'll do Deploy the ERP, with AI. The client's sales, purchasing, stock and production move onto Piston: data migrated from their old ERP and their Excel files, configuration built from their own documents, training, go-live. AI does the heavy lifting, you do the judgment. Put the first AI agents live, during the ERP deployment. You decide what each agent does on its own, what it hands to a human for approval, and you make sure it's still running three months later. Write the deployment playbook. Every go-live feeds a playbook that our next deployment hires and our system integrator partners will follow. Map where the client's time goes. On site, you find the work that eats people's days: re-keying orders, chasing supp…
