About This Role 

Caylent’s Anthropic Business Unit is a dedicated AI services practice built in partnership with Anthropic. 

The Forward Deployed AI Lead is the strategic and architectural lead on AI engagements. Paired with a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who handles hands-on implementation, you own the engagement arc: shaping AI strategy, designing operating models, mapping AI outcomes to business value, and guiding executive stakeholders through adoption. You lead the room — the FDE builds what you architect.

This is a cross-functional role. You engage across lines of business, not just engineering, connecting AI initiatives to the outcomes that matter to each part of the organization. Every engagement is anchored to Anthropic’s platform and focused on real AI adoption outcomes.

Your clients span PE portfolio companies, growth-stage software businesses, and enterprise organizations. You are the strategic face of Caylent from kickoff through handoff.

What You’ll Do 

Strategy and Architecture 

- Own AI engagements end-to-end as the strategic lead, from discovery through executive handoff, partnered with an FDE who drives implementation

- Run structured discovery across engineering, product, and business stakeholders to map organizational context, AI readiness, and strategic goals across lines of business

- Design AI operating models that define how the organization adopts, governs, and scales AI. Not just within engineering, but across the business

- Define AI outcome maps…
