ABOUT THE ROLE

The Deployment Strategist owns the delivery of Sarvam's client projects from pilot to working outcome in production. You are the point of accountability for planning, tracking, and executing each engagement, ensuring the client and every internal team stay aligned throughout.

You will work at the intersection of the client, the delivery team (FDSEs, CSEs, CSMs), operational partners such as language experts and QC reviewers, and Sarvam's product and engineering functions. You gather requirements, build the delivery plan, and drive it to completion. You resolve day-to-day queries yourself and escalate platform-level issues to Forward Deployed Software Engineers, so they can concentrate on the fix while you hold the client relationship and timeline steady.

This is an operations and execution role at its core. Delivery is the goal, and disciplined management of stakeholders, internal teams, and the project itself is how you get there.

If you combine operational rigour with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and moving parts at once, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Gather and document requirements from the client once a project is signed, translating them into a clear, agreed scope

• Build and own the delivery plan, including timelines, milestones, and dependencies that all stakeholders commit to

• Set up and maintain trackers and dashboards that keep every stakeholder, internal and external, aligned on status, risks, and next steps

• Coordinate execution across everyone a project touches: the client, delivery and engineering teams, and operational partners such as language experts and QC reviewers
