Deployment Strategist

The posting, as Auger wrote it

Build at Auger

Auger is the autonomous operating system for supply chains — the layer that finally allows disparate systems like ERP, WMS, and TMS to work together instead of against each other.

Most supply chain software surfaces problems and waits for a human to act. Auger solves them. Our AI detects disruptions, evaluates trade-offs, and executes decisions automatically — moving from signal to action in seconds, not weeks. We eliminate the Coordination Tax: the billions in capital and time lost when disconnected systems force the best people in the business to become the Human API between planning and execution.

At Auger, we design autonomy into our systems. We expect the same from our people.

That means

• Clear ownership, not decision by consensus
• First principles over inherited patterns
• Shipping systems, not slide decks
• Fast feedback from reality, not opinions

If you want to build, ship, and iterate against reality, Auger is for you.

Auger was founded by Dave Clark and is backed by $150M from Oak HC/FT and Eclipse Capital. Our team works from Bellevue, WA and Dallas, TX.

About the Role
Auger builds software that runs supply chain decisions autonomously for customers. Deployment Strategists are the operators who bridge the strategy and execution for the customer’s business.

The job asks you to do three things: diagnose an operating problem, push the build of a tailored solution, and own key metrics and outcomes. Most careers make you pick one of the three. This one builds all three skills at the same time, on live enterprise accounts, in front of customers who have already paid for an outcome.

You join a deployment pod and own a workstream end to end: the plan, the meetings, the follow-through, and the number it has to move. You partner with our customers, with their planners, their IT teams, and their executives. Your workstream is not finished when the recommendation is accepted. It is finished when the system is live and the outcome is met.

This is where Auger's future leaders will come from. If you are good, you will run your own account inside two years and lead multi-workstream enterprise accounts after that. The ceiling here is set by what you can carry, not by tenure.

What You'll Own

• The Plan and the Pace

You own the schedule for your workstream and you defend it. Milestones, dependencies, who owes what by when, and what happens when someone misses. Nobody chases you for status, because the plan is already published and current.

Your Job: Build the workstream plan, run the working sessions, and drive the follow-through every single day. Meetings end with owners and dates, and you confirm both in writing before the room clears.
The Pace: Enterprise deployments slip in one-week increments that nobody notices until the quarter is gone. You notice on day two, and you fix it before anyone asks.

• The Details Nobody Else Will Chase

Every deployment carries a hundred small unresolved questions: which SKU hie

s require hard technical experience. We don’t. What matters is the judgment to reason through how a system should behave, the rigor to translate that reasoning into precise specifications, and the ownership to see it through to results.

This is not a rotational program, an analyst pool, or a support function. You are not here to take notes, build decks, or schedule meetings for someone senior. From your first account you own real scope in front of a real customer, and the deployment moves or stalls partly because of you.

It is also not a coasting job. The learning curve is steep on purpose, the standard is high on purpose, and the people who thrive here want both.

The Bar
Six months in, your account lead should be handing you the hardest workstream on the account because you are the one most likely to land it. A year in, the customer should be asking for you by name.

We hold this bar because of who you will be working next to. To become the best, you have to be surrounded by the best, and we protect that standard on every hire.

If that sounds like the job you have been seeking, apply.
