The Company
Tutor Intelligence is building the technology and processes to let robots go where they’ve never gone before: the average American factory and warehouse. We understand that general-purpose and generally intelligent robots are going to be built in our lifetimes, and we’re not content to sit on the sidelines.
Founded by MIT alumni and backed with over $40M in funding by leading investors in AI and robotics, Tutor combines human and artificial intelligence to build something greater than the sum of its parts — a Tutor Intelligence. As an AI software company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, every line of code, process change, and decision at Tutor has a direct impact on the physical economy. We’re seeking thinkers, builders, and operators who want to help deliver the future of automation.
The Role
As a Deployment Manager at Tutor Intelligence, you will own the customer experience from the moment a deal closes through successful on-site robot deployment and early post-launch stabilization. You will work directly and independently with customer engineering, operations, IT, and facilities teams to prepare their sites for automation, manage the systems' arrival, installation, and setup, and ensure deployments launch smoothly and on schedule.
This is a highly ownership-driven, customer-facing role at the intersection of operations, robotics, and enterprise environments. You will act as the single point of accountability during deployment, identifying risks early, driving resolution, and ensuring customers are confident and ready before handing off to Customer Success. We're expecting this role to include customer travel of~15%

Coordinate physical layout, workflows, networking, access, and operational constraints
Plan and manage deployment timelines, delivery schedules, and internal and external dependencies
Identify risks, gaps, and blockers early, and drive resolution across internal and external teams
Work closely with Sales, Operations, Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure smooth handoffs and clear accountability
Operate effectively in ambiguous, non-standard customer environments where processes are still evolving

Comfortable handling issues as they arise, including delays, changing requirements, and difficult conversations
Bias toward ownership, accountability, and getting things done in imperfect, real-world conditions
