About the Role

This is the customer- and stakeholder-facing side of a Forward Deployed Engineering function at a fast-growing fintech company building compliance and identity infrastructure for businesses. You will own the end-to-end deployment experience for enterprise clients, bridging customers, product, and engineering to ensure successful implementations and feed real-world insights back into how the product evolves.

What You'll Do

  • Partner with enterprise customers to design and execute implementations tailored to their specific needs.

  • Manage stakeholder relationships across complex enterprise environments with competing priorities.

  • Lead detailed project planning and execution during deployments, keeping all teams aligned and on track.

  • Analyze customer requirements early, break them into actionable priorities, and communicate trade-offs clearly.

  • Collaborate with product, engineering, and growth teams to identify friction points and improve implementation processes.

  • Build documentation, tooling, and playbooks that make future deployments smoother and more scalable.

What We're Looking For

  • 4 to 5 or more years of relevant professional experience, including at least 3 years in customer-facing deployment, implementation, or solutions engineering for enterprise software.

  • Strong domain expertise in KYB, KYC, AML, regulated onboarding, or a closely related compliance domain; this is the primary signal for the role.

  • Operating experience in fintech, banking, or a startup environment; a purely management-consulting background without hands-on operating experience is a low fit.

  • Proven ability to manage complex enterprise implementations from kickoff through go-live, including scope management and stakeholder coordination.

  • Proficiency with project management methodologies such as Agile, Waterfall, or Scrum, and tools such as Jira, Asana, or Monday.com.

  • Experience translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders and breaking down technical requirements into prioritized actions.

  • Track record of cross-functional collaboration with product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to resolve implementation blockers.

  • Experience documenting processes, building implementation guides, or creating internal tooling to improve onboarding workflows.

  • Comfort with ambiguity, fast-moving environments, and an evolving product roadmap.

  • Familiarity with SaaS or fintech products, identity platforms, or payment and financial infrastructure is a plus.

  • Experience with API integrations, data migration, or technical onboarding processes is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range is approximately EUR 93,000 to EUR 146,000, determined by level. The company publishes its leveling framework and does not run individual salary negotiations; everyone at the same level receives the same pay. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Candidates must be based in the Netherlands or willing to relocate.
