Deployment Strategist

PART-TIME | UK & ARCTIC | OPS

THE VISION 

Our mission is to build technology to open Earth’s final frontier. A vast expanse 1.5 times the size of the US, the Arctic is seeing geopolitical, climatic, and economic activity skyrocket. We provide clarity to this complexity — while ensuring minimal impact in the planet’s most fragile wilderness.

Built off the back of a team with 30+ years of polar experience, we recognise that autonomy is fundamental to operational success. Working at the fringes of technological capabilities, this is a company that aims high and takes bets. If you want to deploy ground-up technology with real-world impact - at an inflection point in history that won’t reappear - we want you at ARD.

THE ROLE

As a Deployment Strategist at Arctic Research and Development, you’ll be embedded alongside engineers and the development team. By understanding the critical questions our customers need answering, you’ll be guiding the product direction from the first iteration. Your expertise and fluency with the procurement process will also be fundamental in getting the solution into the clients hands. The role will demand a curious and analytical approach, a sharp intuition for product and market, and a strong degree of user insight that will both realise ARD’s vision and empower customers to improve decisions.

  • Work alongside multi-disciplinary engineering and design teams to convey the technology requirements

  • Scope out potential new engagements in new industries and expanding locations

  • Deliver demos to new and existing customers

  • Travel to the Arctic for onsite client meetings, Outpost monitoring, and operational field testing when required

WHAT WE VALUE

  • Nuanced understanding of Arctic affairs and the impact on ARD’s mission

  • Strong experience in government and private sector relations, while understanding their market needs and gaps
