Aaru operates at the bleeding edge of predictive intelligence, using AI to simulate and predict human behavior at scale. By generating and deploying instances of artificial intelligence that mirror humans, called agents, Aaru simulates entire populations with unprecedented accuracy. Our partners use Aaru to refine strategic positioning, identify and understand high-value audiences, validate concepts and messaging before launch, optimize pricing decisions, and build a continuously richer understanding of their customers through simulation. We provide organizations with invaluable foresight, empowering them to anticipate outcomes and proactively make the right decisions at the right time, every time.
We're a small, dedicated, mission-driven team and we intend to stay that way. We believe the best work happens when exceptionally talented people are given ownership, trust and the space to operate without bureaucratic friction. We work with urgency and intellectual honesty and expect new team members to match our velocity. We seek individuals who thrive at the frontier, who push beyond conventional limits, who bring curiosity and conviction in equal measure, and who want their work to have demonstrable impact in the world. If you're energized by the idea of a small team doing things that feel impossible, let’s build together.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Deployment Lead, you will manage client relationships at Aaru from initial contact through long-term collaboration. The Deployment team partners with clients to configure tailored analyses and deliver simulation-driven insights directly to senior client stakeholders. You will work closely with Aaru's founders to serve a wide variety of clients, addressing an even broader range of challenges using the most exciting predictive technology since the astrolabe.

Execute complex, high-quality deliverables independently and at speed, translating rough direction into client-ready outputs
Coordinate across engineering, product, and commercial teams to keep deployments on track and clients well-served

YOU MAY BE A FIT IF
You have 4+ years at a top consulting firm, investment bank, or in a strategic operations role at a high-growth startup — and you've owned workstreams or client relationships, not just supported them

You have strong analytical skills and can work fluently with complex data and communicate findings clearly in writing and in person
You're excited to work fully in-person in and bring genuine curiosity about AI and global affairs

Have experience implementing and executing projects across long timescales
Have a background in traditional market research and consumer insights (e.g., survey design, focus groups, quantitative/qualitative analysis, syndicated data sources) with a strong foundation in translating research findings into actionable business recommendations
